Hormonal Imbalances & Their Effect on Infertility

Randine Lewis, Ph.D., Lic.Ac.

Most hormonal imbalances can be rectified through The Fertile Soul Method ™ - naturally - without medicinal or pharmacological intervention.

It is fairly easy to accept that hormonal imbalance negatively impact how our reproductive system responds. The very complex endocrine system consists of hormones, organs, and the orchestration of their interaction. Diet, nutrition, exercise, lifestyle, stress, emotions, and our reactions to our world all influence the main on/off switch of the endocrine system and the gonadotropin releasing hormone. This major brain hormone effects the proper functioning of the hypothalamus, which then effects the pituitary gland, which then effects the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus.

When our world is out of balance, it often is reflected in our internal hormonal response. When infertility dominates our world, it produces stress. One of the most stressful processes we know of is infertility.

Because the endocrine system operates via negative feedback, taking synthetic (or natural) hormones cannot fix hormonal imbalances. Only harmonizing the elements of our life can restore hormonal balance.

We have been taught that if we want something bad enough, we will achieve it, if only our desire is strong enough, and we provide enough effort. And while this may be the way of the material world, it is not the way of bringing life into being, the way of miracles. A new life comes from the infinite, not through mere effort. We can achieve a job, a house, a lifestyle, but we cannot necessarily achieve babies through desire combined with effort. Effort produces stress. Stress activates the release of adrenal hormones. When adrenal hormones are dominant, the reproductive hormones cannot work efficiently. Our body ensures that we will not become pregnant when we are under stress.

Animals in nature do not go into heat during times of stress. Nature prevents it. Nature prevents it in us, too. There are all kind of internal protective mechanisms that prevent pregnancy. They are activated more in women who have been told they will have problems conceiving, and those who think they are too old. They can have all kinds of laboratory manifestations - elevated prolactin, elevated follicle stimulating hormone, low estrogen, low progesterone levels, poor ovarian response, uterine lining problems, autoimmune factors, poor egg quality, on and on. Treating the manifestation through drugs to suppress prolactin or increase hormone levels won’t work, either. They aren’t treating the source, only the symptom. The Fertile Soul’s approach is to treat the source so there will be no manifestation, no symptom, and no disease. No infertility.

When a pregnancy is forced, via hormonal manipulation and assisted reproductive techniques (ART) from an imbalanced body, the results are often less than the perfect picture we envision. Unhealthy eggs from an imbalanced woman, combined with unhealthy sperm from an imbalanced man often produce unhealthy pregnancies, miscarriage, and birth defects.

The Fertile Soul’s goal is to help you achieve hormonal balance, reproductive wellness, and enhanced fertility – naturally, so that you may have a healthy baby.
