PRE-CONCEPTION PROGRAM
For the best chances of achieving a healthy pregnancy, both partners should be in optimum health for no less than three months prior to conception. As an alternative or an adjunct to high-tech treatments, Dr. Cimperman’s Pre-Conception Program helps women and couples focus on removing obstacles to infertility and explore alternative approaches when necessary.
The program fee includes two appointments:
The first appointment begins with a thorough discussion of medical history, family history, current conditions, diet, lifestyle and future goals. Dr. Cimperman will discuss the principles of the Pre-Conception Program and provide an individualized plan for a two-week detoxification program.
Patients return for the second appointment after the detoxification program has been completed. Dr. Cimperman will discuss their detox experience and provide a comprehensive plan for a three-month Pre-Conception program, which includes:
Medical assessment by your PCP
Ideal body weight
Regular exercise
A healthy diet
Nutritional supplements
Hydrotherapy
Botanical medicines if needed
Homeopathic medicines if needed
Avoidance of potentially harmful chemicals
Relaxation and stress management
Fertility awareness

Medical assessment by your PCP
Although Dr. Cimperman was trained as a primary care physician, her practice in New York is limited to consultation because New York State does not yet license Naturopathic Doctors. She refers her patients to their primary care physician for physical examination and laboratory testing. Dr. Cimperman will provide recommendations for tests and procedures.
For more information about the current effort to license Naturopathic Doctors in the state of New York, please visit http://www.nyanp.org/licensure.php .
Fertility Awareness
Fertility Awareness, also known as the Sympto-Thermal Method, helps women and couples understand basic information about fertility and reproduction. Three fertility signs – waking body temperature, cervical fluid and position of the cervix – are charted on a daily basis to identify the fertile days of each menstrual cycle, and to determine if and when ovulation and pregnancy occur. Click here to read Dr. Cimperman’s article about Fertility Awareness.
This topic is too large to cover in one office visit, so Dr. Cimperman provides resources for her patients to learn to use this method correctly. These resources include recommended reading and a referral to the Fertility Awareness Center in New York City for those interested in classes and workshops.
