This course helps prepare nutrition practitioners to work with those who are facing fertility challenges, and empower them to understand and confidently address the underlying drivers which are often overlooked by conventional medicine.

This course focuses on educating nutrition practitioners on the unique aspects of working with those who are facing fertility challenges. These clients are very rewarding to work with, however, they are also highly vulnerable. They have often faced trauma, high costs of fertility treatment, pregnancy losses, and are frequently close to running out of time. The importance of in-depth training in this area of nutritional therapy before taking on this type of client cannot be under-estimated.

Fertility challenges, or subfertility often presents as a complex web and encompasses the interplay between two people’s unique health challenges. You will learn how to address a couple by viewing them holistically and symbiotically, whether heterosexual, homosexual, trying to conceive naturally, or via assisted means and using donor egg or sperm.
The course will help practitioners understand the most common underlying causes for fertility challenges, as viewed by conventional medicine, and empower them to establish and address the underlying drivers which are so often overlooked by the conventional medical professionals.
This course will help empower you as a practitioner to look for underlying causes for fertility challenges and address those from a holistic perspective.
