Naturopathic Fertility Support in Honolulu and Kailua

Trying to conceive can feel like waiting without answers. Dr. Allison Nabours, ND helps women and couples understand what their bodies need, using careful hormone testing and a plan built around the whole person.

Understanding your cycle with timed hormone testing

Hormones change throughout the menstrual cycle, so when they are tested matters. Dr. Nabours tests at two points:

Day 3 of your cycle: FSH, LH and estradiol, which show how the ovaries are responding at the start of the cycle.
7 days after ovulation: progesterone and estradiol, which show whether ovulation happened and how well the second half of the cycle is supported. AMH, a full thyroid panel, free and total testosterone, prolactin and DHEA-S are often checked at the same time.

Together these give a clearer picture of hormonal balance than a single test on a random day. Dr. Nabours also checks fertility-related nutrient levels, since deficiencies can affect cycles, egg quality and early pregnancy.

Tracking your cycle

Patients chart their cycles and basal body temperature in an app, which shows when ovulation happens and how each phase of the cycle is going. Ovulation test strips may be added when helpful. Tracking also tells us exactly when to schedule the timed hormone tests.

Conditions we often see

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and irregular cycles
Endometriosis and painful periods
Low progesterone and short luteal phases
Thyroid imbalance
Unexplained infertility
Recurrent pregnancy loss

Care for male partners

Male factors play a role in up to half of fertility challenges, so Dr. Nabours sees male partners too. She orders a semen analysis, hormone testing and fertility-related nutrient testing, then builds a plan to support sperm health through nutrition, lifestyle and targeted supplements.

What care looks like

Your first visit lasts 60 to 90 minutes and covers your health history, cycles and any past testing. Most patients work with Dr. Nabours for 3 to 9 months, depending on their needs. Follow-up visits can be done by telemedicine if you prefer. From there, Dr. Nabours creates a plan that may include nutrition and lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, targeted supplements and craniosacral therapy, plus referrals for acupuncture. Many patients work with her alongside their OB-GYN or fertility clinic, including during IVF or IUI.

After conception

Naturopathic care can continue through pregnancy and after birth. Dr. Nabours works alongside your OB-GYN or midwife, who manages your prenatal care and delivery. Dr. Nabours also cares for newborns and children, including home visits for newborns.
