Holistic Natural fertility treatment

Natural fertility, hormone health, & wellness.

I use a functional medicine "root cause" approach to restore balance so that you can live a vibrant life.

What If you could...

feel vibrant & energized?

have a strong immune system?

lose the bloat for good?

have glowing skin?

have a healthy baby?

age well?

...and do it all naturally, with the right foods, lifestyle, mindset, supplements.

What is Functional Nutrition for Fertility & Hormone health?

It is about finding the underlying, root causes of why your body is out of balance.

It is about clearing the obstacles getting in the way of true health – chronic stress, toxins, pathogens, emotions, nutritional imbalances.

It is about holistically supporting your body’s biochemistry so that it can naturally heal and balance can be restored.
There are eight main areas that I examine when investigating fertility health –
- Blood sugar
- Gut & Liver health
- Thyroid
- Food sensitivities
- Stealth infections
- Toxin load
- Mitochondrial health
- Mental/Emotional

How do I work?

I take a holistic, functional medicine approach to supporting your body in healing.

I do comprehensive wellness evaluations using lab testing and symptom assessments.

I take the time and listen to you. I want to hear your story and understand your struggles.

I create individualized wellness plans to optimize both partners hormonal & reproductive health through nutritional, detoxification, mindset, and lifestyle plans.

I guide you through the process, coaching and listening along the way.

Guidelines for holistic fertility

At Shannon South, Functional Nutrition for Fertility, we firmly believe that an individual’s overall well-being is deeply influenced by the choices they make in their daily lives. This is why we prioritize a holistic approach to fertility, where lifestyle choices play a vital role.

When it comes to holistic fertility practices, we provide general guidelines that can significantly impact your fertility journey:

Stress management is crucial during fertility treatment, as it affects individuals differently. To reduce and effectively manage stress, we encourage the following practices:

Engaging in yoga sessions
Incorporating meditation into your routine
Exploring stress management initiatives, either through personal efforts or with the guidance of professional counseling
Acupuncture has been proven to effectively reduce stress, making it a suitable option for patients undergoing fertility treatment. Additionally, acupuncture performed before and after embryo transfer can enhance uterine blood flow and potentially increase pregnancy rates.

We acknowledge that nutrition and diet directly influence the outcomes of fertility treatment and subsequent pregnancies. While some dietary supplements, like prenatal vitamins with folic acid for women, have demonstrated their benefits, we generally advise our patients against taking additional supplements unless specifically recommended by another doctor. It’s important to note that certain dietary choices have been associated with an improved likelihood of conceiving. Current research suggests that simple adjustments in dietary habits may hold more significance in increasing your chances of pregnancy than relying solely on medication. We would be more than happy to discuss these crucial concepts with you in detail.

Maintaining a healthy body weight is another factor that can enhance your chances of achieving pregnancy. Whether it involves losing weight if you’re overweight or gaining weight if you’re underweight, attaining a healthy body weight can contribute to restoring proper hormone levels and other bodily factors that influence fertility.

At Shannon South, Functional Nutrition for Fertility, we prioritize your overall well-being and understand that holistic fertility practices encompass various aspects of your life. We are here to provide support, guidance, and personalized care throughout your journey toward building a family.

Client Testimonials

"I feel so fortunate to have found Shannon. She is warm, sincere, exceptionally knowledgable, and an absolute joy to work with. I have been on a personalized protocol for a couple months now and I am extremely pleased with my results so far. This woman has changed my life. I’m forever grateful."

"Shannon has been an incredible help to me through a long list of internal health issues. I saw many doctors and other nutritionists before her, but nothing was helping. I did her Reset Your Body Program, and it was very clear, organized, and manageable. She has been such a wonderful support, and adjusts my protocols as needed. Cannot thank Shannon enough for helping me heal!"

"I really recommend working with Shannon South. I came to Shannon after years of TTC. She offered a new perspective with a focus on balanced nutrition. Her energy was so positive and optimistic (sometimes you just really need to have someone who believes in you. I believe this made all the difference for me! ). Shannon is thorough, she is patient, and she REALLY listens. It felt like Shannon was taking care of both my physical and my emotional well-being. I believe that it was with Shannon’s help that we were able to develop a few good-embryos that ultimately led to a successful IVF. We will be celebrating our son’s 1st birthday next week (oh, did I mention I’m in my late 40’s?)."

“I got my period the other day and it actually seems like a pretty normal, which is incredibly exciting. I'm feeling good about my energy, skin and weight. All have really leveled out. My skin in particular looks beautiful - it’s glowing!“

"I’ve seen a huge improvement in my hives! I’m down to 1/4 Zyrtec every other day (from 4 Zyrtec per day) to take away the itching and hives. I’m also feeling less tired - my energy is good and I can eat more things like beans!! I couldn't tolerate eating them without extreme bloating and gas and now they don't bother me. I am so grateful for you. 🙏 My health is improving because of all you have done for me. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate you!"

"I'm feeling great - probably the best l've felt in years!"

"I want to thank Shannon for her expertise and professionalism. About six months ago, I called in a panic because I was experiencing a kidney stone passing, and I was in excruciating pain. She told me several natural ways to subside the pain; I did so, and low and behold, it helped exceptionally well and fast. I was amazed at the results. Since then, I have been a believer in what she is offering. After that experience, I started consulting with her on my diet and started taking the recommended products. Since then, I have lost over 30 lbs and have more energy than ever before. I 100% would recommend her services and product to anyone looking to better their health."
