Naturopathic Fertility Support: Dr. Read's Personalized Program
As a fertility naturopath at Dynamic Natural Medicine, Dr. Read focuses on natural approaches to enhancing fertility. Using a combination of naturopathic medicine and Chinese medicine, she assists with natural fertility while helping to improve IUI (Intrauterine insemination) or IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) success.
Whether you are having trouble conceiving a baby, or suffering from repeated miscarriages, naturopathic medicine and acupuncture can help increase your fertility.
With 1 in 8 couples having difficulty to conceive, infertility is becoming more common. One-third of infertility is contributed to the female partner, one-third is contributed to the male partner, and one-third is caused by a combination of problems with both partners, therefore, it is critical in Dr. Read's Fertility Program to treat both the female and male partners in the relationship.
Dr. Read's personalized fertility program includes an extensive work-up for you and your partner. Work up may include assessment of hormones, toxic burden, genetic testing, and other laboratory testing. We also assess diet, lifestyle as well as emotional and spiritual balance. Treatment is very individualized and may include a combination of Naturopathic and Chinese medicine. Treatment is targeted to not only achieve pregnancy, but for optimal development of baby and mom.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can naturopathic medicine help with infertility?
Yes, naturopathic medicine offers evidence-based approaches to support fertility. At Dynamic Natural Medicine in Snohomish, WA, Dr. Jennifer Read creates personalized fertility programs that may include nutrition optimization, herbal medicine, hormone balancing, stress reduction, and acupuncture — all aimed at enhancing your body's natural ability to conceive.
How does acupuncture support fertility and IVF?
Acupuncture can improve blood flow to reproductive organs, regulate hormones, reduce stress, and support overall reproductive health. Many fertility clinics recommend acupuncture alongside IVF to improve success rates. Dr. Read at Dynamic Natural Medicine works with patients throughout their fertility journey, from preconception through pregnancy.

She supports families from conception through the newborn period at her Snohomish, WA practice.
Can acupuncture help with PCOS and endometriosis-related infertility?
Yes, acupuncture and naturopathic medicine can be very effective for fertility challenges related to PCOS and endometriosis. Dr. Read uses acupuncture to improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, reduce inflammation, and regulate hormonal imbalances. Combined with targeted nutrition and herbal medicine, many patients see improvements in ovulation regularity, pain reduction, and overall fertility.
Do you treat both partners in a fertility program?
Absolutely. Since one-third of infertility is related to the male partner, Dr. Read's fertility program at Dynamic Natural Medicine includes evaluation and treatment for both partners. The workup may include hormone assessment, nutritional analysis, toxic burden testing, and lifestyle factors for both the female and male partner to optimize fertility outcomes.
How long does a natural fertility program take to show results?
Most patients in Dr. Read's fertility program at Dynamic Natural Medicine see improvements within 3-6 months, though every case is unique. Egg and sperm development takes approximately 90 days, so treatment plans are often designed with this timeline in mind. Dr. Read monitors your progress with follow-up testing and adjusts your plan as needed.
Can you help with recurrent miscarriage?
Yes. Recurrent miscarriage can have many underlying causes including hormonal imbalances, immune factors, thyroid dysfunction, and nutritional deficiencies. Dr. Read at Dynamic Natural Medicine takes a thorough approach — running advanced testing to identify contributing factors and creating a personalized treatment plan to support a healthy pregnancy.
Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?
Yes, acupuncture is safe during pregnancy when performed by a trained practitioner. Dr. Read specializes in prenatal acupuncture at Dynamic Natural Medicine and uses it to help with morning sickness, back pain, sciatica, insomnia, anxiety, and labor preparation. She avoids certain acupuncture points that are contraindicated during pregnancy.
What is the difference between a fertility naturopath and a reproductive endocrinologist?
A reproductive endocrinologist (RE) specializes in assisted reproductive technology like IVF and IUI. A fertility naturopath like Dr. Read focuses on optimizing your body's natural fertility through nutrition, hormones, acupuncture, and lifestyle changes. Many patients work with both — Dr. Read frequently collaborates with fertility clinics to enhance IUI and IVF success rates at Dynamic Natural Medicine in Snohomish.
How do I prepare my body for a healthy conception?
Preconception fertility optimization is one of Dr. Read's specialties at Dynamic Natural Medicine. She recommends starting 3-6 months before trying to conceive, with a program that includes hormone testing, nutritional assessment, toxin burden evaluation, stress management, and targeted supplementation. This approach helps create the healthiest possible environment for conception and early pregnancy for both partners.
What prenatal nutrition tips does Dr. Read recommend for a healthy pregnancy?
Dr. Read at Dynamic Natural Medicine provides personalized prenatal nutrition counseling tailored to each patient. Key recommendations typically include folate-rich whole foods, adequate protein and healthy fats for fetal development, iron and calcium from food sources, and omega-3 fatty acids for brain development. She also helps patients choose high-quality prenatal vitamins and addresses common pregnancy nutrition challenges like morning sickness and food aversions.
How much does a fertility optimization consultation cost?
The cost of a fertility consultation at Dynamic Natural Medicine varies depending on the services provided. Many insurance plans cover naturopathic visits, and we accept Premera, Regence, Lifewise, Moda, Molina, First Choice Health, Amerigroup/Wellpoint, and Washington Apple Health. Some advanced fertility testing may be an additional cost. Contact our benefits specialist Laura at 425-503-6739 to discuss your specific coverage and out-of-pocket costs before booking.
How do I book a fertility optimization consultation?
You can book a fertility optimization consultation at Dynamic Natural Medicine by visiting our scheduling page online or calling our Snohomish, WA office. Your initial consultation with Dr. Read typically lasts 60-90 minutes and covers a thorough review of your fertility history, health goals, and an individualized plan to support your conception journey. Both partners are welcome at the first visit.
What is the difference between naturopathic and acupuncture fertility support?
Naturopathic fertility support focuses on the whole body — hormone testing, nutrition, supplementation, detoxification, and lifestyle changes to optimize conditions for conception. Acupuncture fertility support targets specific physiological pathways — improving blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, regulating the menstrual cycle, and reducing stress hormones. At Dynamic Natural Medicine, Dr. Read is trained in both and combines them for the most comprehensive approach. Many patients benefit from both working together rather than choosing one over the other.
What prenatal meal plan ideas does Dr. Read recommend?
Dr. Read at Dynamic Natural Medicine creates personalized prenatal meal plans focused on nutrient density, energy, and fetal growth. Typical recommendations include meals rich in folate (leafy greens, lentils), iron (grass-fed meats, beans), omega-3s (wild salmon, walnuts), and calcium (yogurt, broccoli). She also addresses common challenges like morning sickness, food aversions, and gestational blood sugar management — providing practical, flexible meal ideas that fit your lifestyle and support both your energy and your baby's development.
How do I choose the right prenatal vitamin?
Not all prenatal vitamins are equal. Dr. Read at Dynamic Natural Medicine helps patients select high-quality prenatal vitamins based on their individual needs. Key factors include the form of folate (methylfolate is preferred over folic acid for many women), adequate DHA, bioavailable iron, and active B vitamins. She also evaluates whether additional supplementation — like extra vitamin D, magnesium, or probiotics — is needed based on your lab work and health history.
How do I book prenatal nutrition counseling?
You can book prenatal nutrition counseling at Dynamic Natural Medicine by visiting our online scheduling page or calling our Snohomish, WA office.
