Preconception Care: Deeper Hormonal Insights on Pregnancy Outcomes

Dr. Liz Bartman

Did you know? The EndoAxis report streamlines evaluations, offering actionable treatments and support for optimized preconception health.

Comprehensive preconception care focuses on foundational health elements such as optimal hormonal balance and effective hormone detoxification. Achieving harmony in the follicular and luteal phases, alongside 3 phases of estrogen detoxification, can support fertility success and promote healthy pregnancies.

Optimal Hormonal Balance Includes:

Evaluation of sex hormones including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and ovarian reserve markers can increase conception success

Reduction of toxins such as phthalates, parabens, and heavy metals, which are known endocrine disruptors that negatively impact fertility rates, sperm morphology, and can promote estrogen dominance

Gut Health: A Key Player In Fertility

Healthy gut function supports:

Nutrient Absorption: Essential for cellular health and energy production.
Toxin Elimination: Reduces the hormonal burden on the body.
Immune System Regulation: Vital for pregnancy support.
Neurotransmitter Synthesis: Impacts mood and hormonal communication.
Hormone Regulation: Includes thyroid hormone activity and estrogen metabolism.

The EndoAxis report highlights the following on hormone and detoxification:

Suboptimal progesterone synthesis suggesting luteal phase defect
Low overall hormone levels and need for follicular support
Poor methylation and suboptimal phase 2 detoxification
High methylation activity or elevated levels of estrogen, suggesting need for phase 3 detoxification support

Why Focus On Hormonal Balance And Detoxification?

By prioritizing hormone evaluation and detoxification, healthcare providers can build a solid foundation to guide patients toward healthy pregnancies and family well-being.
