Virtual care for individuals and couples across Utah & Idaho

Preparing for pregnancy is one of the most important steps you can take—but many people are told to simply ‘start trying’ without a clear understanding of what optimal fertility actually looks like.

At Naturopathic Fertility & Specialty Pediatrics, Dr. Britnei Artz takes a proactive, root-cause approach to preconception care. Using advanced testing and personalized strategies, she helps you optimize your body before conception, creating the strongest possible foundation for a healthy pregnancy.

What Is Preconception Optimization?

Preconception optimization is about getting your body as ready as possible before pregnancy.

It looks at the health of both partners and supports the areas that matter most for fertility, including hormones, egg and sperm health, nutrition, and overall wellness.

Instead of waiting until problems come up, this approach can help you:

Find and correct imbalances
Support your chances of conceiving

Prepare your body for pregnancy
Lower risks when possible

Fertility can be affected by many things happening beneath the surface.

Inflammation, nutrient levels, metabolism, and hormone health can all play a role in conception and early pregnancy.

Why Preconception Care Matters

Even when cycles appear regular or labs fall within “normal” ranges, there may be underlying factors affecting fertility and pregnancy outcomes.

This is why taking a proactive approach can make a meaningful difference.

Common areas that benefit from optimization include:

Hormone imbalances affecting ovulation or cycle quality
Thyroid function
Nutrient deficiencies
Blood sugar regulation

Chronic inflammation
Gut health and microbiome balance
Male fertility factors, including sperm quality and hormone health

By addressing these areas ahead of time, you give your body the best opportunity to conceive and support a healthy pregnancy from the very beginning.
