acupuncture for fertility

Acupuncture improves your fertility

April 2, 2018 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

Acupuncture treatments are one of the biggest reasons women and men struggling to get pregnant come see us at Rooted for our Fertility Tranquility Program. They’ve heard from a friend or read online that acupuncture can help them get pregnant.

It’s true. There are studies to support the use of acupuncture during your fertility journey.

I’ve got patients who’ve only just started trying to conceive and they want to help manage their stress and anxiety during this time. They also want to increase their chances of it happening naturally for them.

I also have couples that come to see me who have started working with a medical fertility clinic. The traditional fertility clinics are great at diagnosing problems and then putting the egg and sperm together and working on timing. What they’re not great at, typically, is egg and sperm quality as well as managing stress, coaching about diet and supplements that will increase their chances of the medical treatments working.

Acupuncture may help in the following ways:

  • relieving stress and anxiety of fertility treatments
  • increasing blood flow to the uterus to help with lining
  • normalizing hormonal function
  • empowering women to know they are doing something. That they are not just waiting for their next period
  • increased success of IVF (invitro-fertilization)

New Hours Available!

We are thrilled to have Dr. Ashley Nelson, ND, join us to expand our acupuncture hours to our patients. She comes to us with a lot of acupuncture experience and a very gentle bedside manner. Click here to book directly with Ashley for acupuncture if you are already a patient of our clinic.

Start with this Fertility Book First

February 14, 2013 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

This is my go-to book for women wanting to get pregnant or coming off the birth control pill. Our bodies send us signals to let us know what is happening. For most women, our cycles are a mystery! I can admit, mine was too. I had no clue that I could watch the subtle signs my body was giving me to let me know when I was at my most fertile. So, if you are on the beginning of your fertility journey or it’s a couple years away until you want to start a family, now is a great time to start tracking your cycles and getting to know your body. Not everyone has a perfect 28 day cycle and ovulates on day 14. We are all individuals.  So, go get this book or check out their website. Taking Charge of Your Fertility.

Boost your fertility by doing nothing

October 26, 2012 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

I was at the Asian Integrative Medicine Symposium a couple of weekends ago listening to a seminar about Chinese Medicine and Artificial Reproductive Techniques (translation: acupuncture for IVF).

The speaker was amazing and I grabbed quite a few tips from him that day.  Here is one that I believe to be brilliant.

Sit and do nothing for 15 minutes each day.

By nothing I mean just that – no TV, no phone, no reading…just nothing.

For most of my fertility patients in Barrie and Orillia, it would be easier to ask them to get to the moon.  I mean really, NOTHING?

Try it for 2 weeks.  Train your family that when you’re having your ‘nothing time’ that they do not interrupt short of an emergency (bleeding or fire would be good boundaries here).

What does nothing feel like?  Please share your experiences.

This is one of the most heart-wrenching experience This is one of the most heart-wrenching experiences. 

Leaving your child, and they are clinging to you with panic, fear, and tears.

I've worked with people of all ages when it comes to anxiety. Children, teens, women, and men.

Your child might have been born on the more anxious side. It could be part of their nature. Or it might be part of your family - a culture of anxiety. Or it might have seemingly come out of nowhere. 

Know that there are things we can do for all ages. 

Start by loving them and acknowledging how they feel. 

Then fill your toolbox with tools for them. I'm here to help you fill that box. 

DM me and let’s chat about your child.
Here are 3 questions I get asked most about acupun Here are 3 questions I get asked most about acupuncture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DOES IT HURT?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- The insertion of the very fine needles you sometimes feel. Once it's in you either feel nothing at all or you feel interesting sensations like "warming," "spreading," "zinging," OR "heaviness." It usually settles down and then you may feel nothing for the rest of the treatment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IS ACUPUNCTURE COVERED UNDER MY BENEFITS?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- At our clinic it is billed as a "naturopathic visit." So if you have naturopathic coverage, then you're covered. If you're not sure, check your paperwork or give your company a quick call.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WHAT HOURS DO YOU OFFER ACUPUNCTURE?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Myself, along with Drs. Sarah and Morgan, all offer acupuncture in our schedules. It's ok if you see one of us then another. We all work together well. Book online for the time that works best for you! We have daytime, evening and every other Saturday hours available.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HOW DO I GET STARTED?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- You can book online for a 45 minute acupuncture intake. We'll go through your health history, pros and cons and get started with a treatment.
Why do I work with fertility? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the biggest reasons is to help give hope. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Couples are struggling, devastated, and feeling helpless. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want to help give them back control. To help them heal their bodies, become stronger and healthier, and to help them conceive naturally. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The other reason is to help build super babies from the very beginning. There are amazing things we can do when we take care of parents health even before conception. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're struggling, you're not alone. I'm here to help.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One of the best stories I've heard about our eczem One of the best stories I've heard about our eczema cream is when a grandma was looking after one of my little patients. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She was applying the cream to the little one on a regular basis and then noticed the cut on her own hand healed so quickly! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"What is this magical cream?!" she asked.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My patient's mom replied "this cream has literally changed my life."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you're struggling with eczema, we can help. We can help it heal while we get the root cause.

With you things are a whole lot better.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm missing my husband right now. Trapped on either side of a closed border isn't what we imagined for our marriage. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But here we are.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We know that a lot of you are dealing with situations that are making you unhappy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Give yourself extra care right now. Sleep more. Eat warm foods that nourish your body. Rest. Give yourself a break. This is hard. But we're doing it.
Strength People used to tell me I was so strong. Strength 

People used to tell me I was so strong. 

But to me it was just getting up and putting one foot in front of another. 

I did it for my kids. And I also did it for that tiny flicker of hope that was inside. That hope that things would one day be different and I would feel better. 

Lately I’ve been needing that strength again. 

These uncertain times. The unpredictable nature of our everyday lives has been taking a toll on my mental health again. 

Again I need to turn to that tiny flicker of hope. That one day things will be different. 

You are stronger than you think. You are.
Picky Eater Tip Choose a fun way or container to Picky Eater Tip

Choose a fun way or container to serve the food. 

Here we did a tea party for lunch on my grandmothers china. 

When they were younger I would use ice cube trays and put little nibbles of food in each hole. 

What about a picnic on the floor? 

How about eating breakfast for dinner? 

What about a bowl sandwich? All the good stuff without the bread?

Sometimes switching up the environment or what they are eating on can help. 

Save this for later to remind yourself to switch things up. 😊
