Natural Fertility Specialists

Holistic Treatment for Infertility

At The Axelrad Clinic our natural fertility specialists know that many couples have problems conceiving. Infertility can be the result of many things including irregular menstrual cycles, PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid issues that impact ovulation, age and other factors. Our primary area of focus is a natural, holistic medicine for hormonal, reproductive, and women’s health for those in Houston, Katy, Woodlands and surrounding cities. You may be considering an infertility specialist after repeated efforts to become pregnant have left you disappointed, or you are undergoing IVF or IUI procedures. Regardless of your circumstances, we treat every patient as an individual and customize treatment for your unique needs.

Our fertility specialists are experts in natural and holistic approaches to resolving many of the issues that impact fertility. From acupuncture and herbal medicine to nutrition, meditation and lifestyle changes, we work to provide solutions where modern Western medicine fails. Improved fertility revolves around good overall health and well-being; it is about the body as a whole, not a system or reproductive organs on their own. Traditional Western medicine focuses on relieving or treating symptoms, where holistic or natural medicine strives to discover the underlying issue in order to treat it and achieve the patient’s best physical and mental health.

Serving Houston, Woodlands and Katy, TX

We recommend you consult with an infertility specialist if you are younger than 35 and have been trying to become pregnant for 12 months or longer, or if you have been trying to conceive for more than six months and are over 35. While you may or may not be taking artificial hormones if your infertility is due to irregular menstrual cycles, it is important to know that these hormones and other medications can often interfere with fertility or cause secondary problems. As mentioned earlier, our natural fertility doctors treat the whole body because it is an entire system that is connected; fertility problems are not always directly related to the reproductive system or organs, and are often the result of improper nutrition, high stress levels, a thyroid deficiency, unhealthy habits or even environmental factors.

Our experienced and expert fertility specialists understand how disheartening it is when you want so badly to have a baby only to be disappointed time after time. We also know how expensive IVF and IUI treatment can be, and that you may be looking for an alternative treatment that works. We also know that, if you are incorporating IVF and IUI into your treatment regimen, that you want to do everything you can to maximize the success rate of these treatments using acupuncture and other modalities of holistic medicine.

Your initial consultation is free. Come meet us in person and learn more.

Success Stories

We have helped many couples with fertility struggles to conceive. Many of them had tried conventional fertility treatments without success, others wanted to try a more natural route first, and still others were told they could only conceive using IVF or that they had little to no chance of ever conceiving a child. Here are some examples:

• A lawyer in her late thirties who already had one child and had tried for several years to conceive her second. She had done several cycles with clomid with only one brief pregnancy that miscarried at 6 weeks. After 4 months of acupuncture and herbal therapy, she conceived on her own, and has since delivered a healthy baby girl. Incidentally, she conceived the cycle before she was planning to start a round of injectable drugs. Needless to say, she was thankful for not having to spend the extra money!
• A 45 year-old aeronautics engineer who did a fresh IVF cycle using her own eggs. Her previous cycle months earlier did not work, and she pressed her doctor who reluctantly agreed to try one more time. She came to see us for extra help, and we were able to start weekly acupuncture about 6 weeks before her cycle. While she only produced one egg, which was equivalent to her previous response, she became pregnant. She delivered a healthy baby girl last year
• A 43 year-old university administrator who had failed two fresh and one donor IVF cycle, all due to miscarriage. She came to us for help after a friend referred her. We were able to prepare her for her next donor cycle over a period of 3 months. She has since had two healthy daughters, both with our assistance. Her longest pregnancy prior to that was 8 weeks.
• A pharmaceutical sales rep in her late thirties who had one previous pregnancy that miscarried at 6 weeks. She was told by her doctor that she would need IVF or IUI with drugs to conceive. She decided to try natural treatments first, and 3 months after beginning treatment with us, she conceived naturally and delivered a beautiful baby boy last year
• A 44-year old stay-at-home mom who had her first child using IUI at 41 years old. She was planning to do an IVF cycle and wanted our help to prepare. To everyone’s surprise, after 8 weeks of treatment at our clinic, she conceived naturally and delivered her healthy baby girl over two years ago.

Our Program

Our fertility enhancement program is designed to support your body’s innate intelligence and harmonize the delicate balance of your fertility cycle.We incorporate a detailed holistic analysis of your unique constitution and combine it with information gleaned by your laboratory results. It is our view that by combining holistic and scientific we are on the cutting edge of fertility care, providing our patients with a high degree of accuracy and efficacy. Your treatment program will consist of:

• A detailed intake consultation to pinpoint the type, source, and cause of disharmony in your fertility cycle.
• Development of a customized treatment plan that addresses the symptoms as well as the cause of your fertility issues.
• Regular acupuncture treatments designed to support and encourage proper balance at every stage of the fertility cycle.
• Customized herbal prescriptions tailored to your individual needs, targeted to maximize each phase of your cycle.
• A targeted nutritional support regimen that is designed to nourish and balance blocked and depleted glands, and that is grounded in biomedical knowledge and research.
• Mind-body exercises, meditations, and lifestyle guidance that leverage the amazing power of the mind and emotions.

A comprehensive approach

Whether a couple opts for 100% natural or technologically assisted conception, natural fertility enhancement offers a much-needed element – the element of holistic, individualized care. While conventional medicine is king in terms of scientific research and complex microscopic procedures, our unique holistic combination of Nutritional Therapy, Herbal Medicine, and Acupuncture is unmatched in its application of treatment that addresses the entirety of body, mind, AND spirit.

Body, mind and spirit are part of a single, organic whole. Any attempt at healing and wholeness must by definition address all three of these vital aspects of the human being. In other words, the state of hormonal balance and function, and the structure of organs and tissues, influence and are influenced by life experiences, emotional tendencies, thought patterns, and daily habits. Where conventional medicine often seeks to eliminate mind and spirit as “confounding variables” which skew the results of experiments, TCM includes them as a matter of fundamental principle.

A win-win for fertility patients

There is no way for any healthcare provider, natural or conventional, to predict when or if you will become pregnant. However, in cases where pregnancy is achieved, it usually happens within 3 to 9 months of treatment. And, if you eventually decide to try IUI or IVF, your body will be more prepared to respond to its fullest potential because of the time you have spent on your fertility program with us.

An affordable, cost-effective investment

Our treatment program is both affordable and cost-effective. Whether you are using natural treatment only, or combining with conventional treatment, our goal is to provide you an option that brings maximum results for the price. A three month treatment program, with office visits, treatments, herbs, and supplements costs less than a single IUI cycle, and much less than an IVF cycle. This is especially helpful if you are using our services in combination with IVF.
