Recurrent Pregnancy Loss - Naturopathic Perspectives

Pregnancy loss is a common concern I see in practice. And there are a number of factors that a Naturopathic Doctor will want to consider when working with individuals who are struggling with recurring pregnancy loss.

I recently wrote an article detailing such factors for the Naturopathic Currents. Click here to read the article.

This article discusses the following:

  • Progesterone deficiency

  • Thyroid dysfunction

  • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

  • Blood sugar dysregulation (Type II Diabetes, insulin resistance)

  • Antiphospholipid Syndrome

  • Celiac Disease

  • Elevated prolactin

  • Endometriosis

  • Infectious causes

  • Smoking

  • Weight

  • Substances: alcohol, cannabis, cocaine and caffeine

  • Exercise

  • Shift work (circadian rhythm)


If you or someone you love is dealing with recurring pregnancy loss, consider adding a Naturopathic Doctor to the healthcare team. Naturopathic medicine can provide significant insight and support to those who are dealing with pregnancy loss.
