10 Simple Ways to Boost Your Fertility Naturally
Are you trying to get pregnant and wondering how to boost your chances? The good news is, there are natural ways to support your fertility and overall health. A whole-body approach — using the best of natural medicine, Chinese medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle changes.
Here are 10 ways to help optimize your fertility:
1. Eat a Fertility-Friendly Diet
What you eat affects your hormones and egg (and sperm) quality. Focus on:
- Lots of colourful vegetables
- Healthy fats
- High quality proteins\ (plant- or animal-based)
- Remove refined flours
- Drink lots of water (hydration)
Avoid processed foods, sugar, and too much caffeine. This helps balance your hormones and improves energy.
📝 Tip: Follow the Acubalance Plate — half veggies, a quarter protein, and a quarter complex carbs or starches.

2. Take Key Supplements
Sometimes food isn’t enough. We often recommend:
- CoQ10: Supports egg and sperm quality by enhancing mitochondrial function
- Myo-Inositol: Helps with hormone balance and PCOS
- Vitamin D: Important for immune and reproductive health
- Magnesium & B vitamins: Support stress, sleep, and hormone function
- Fish oil (EPA/DHA): Helps reduce inflammation
- NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine): Supports egg quality, reduces oxidative stress, and helps balance insulin — especially helpful for those with PCOS
Comprehensive Antioxidant Therapy for Sperm: Includes CoQ10, L-Carnitine, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, Selenium, and Glutathione — all shown to support sperm count, motility, and DNA integrity by reducing oxidative damage
Always talk to your healthcare provider before starting new supplements. At Acubalance, we can recommend targeted options based on your personal fertility profile and testing.
3. Try Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbs have been used for thousands of years to support fertility. Personalize formulas based on your body’s needs. Some formulas help:
- Improve egg and sperm quality
- Regulate cycles
- Increase blood flow to the uterus
- Reduce stress and anxiety
4. Acupuncture + Laser Therapy
- Acupuncture helps regulate your cycle, reduce stress, and improve blood flow to your reproductive organs.
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) supports egg and sperm health by increasing cellular energy, regulating inflammation and reducing oxidative stress..
Studies show that acupuncture, LLLT, and Chinese herbal medicine can improve IVF and frozen embryo transfer (FET) success rates
5. Naturopathic Testing for Deeper Insight
Functional medicine lab tests to uncover hidden imbalances that affect fertility, such as:
- Thyroid or hormone problems
- Blood sugar or insulin resistance
- Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
- Gut health and inflammation
Knowing what’s going on inside your body helps us build the best plan for you.
6. Nutritional IV Therapy
IV (intravenous) therapy gives your body a powerful dose of nutrients like:
- Vitamin C
- B vitamins
- Amino acids
- Glutathione
7. Sleep Well
Your hormones reset during sleep. Aim for 7–9 hours of quality rest. Try turning off screens an hour before bed, and keep your room cool and dark.
8. Move Your Body Gently
Exercise helps your hormones, mood, and circulation. But too much intense cardio can harm fertility. Stick to:
- Walking
- Yoga
- Swimming or light strength training
9. Lower Stress (It Really Matters)
Chronic stress can throw your sex and stress hormones off balance. Try calming techniques like:
- Breathing exercises (like 4-4-8 breathing)
- Guided meditation or journaling
- Talking to a therapist or coach
- Acupuncture, which has been shown to calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and help regulate hormones
At Acubalance, we also offer mind-body tools and support for emotional wellbeing during the fertility journey.
10. Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)
Sometimes natural support works best alongside medical treatments. At Acubalance, we support people going through:
- Medicated cycles (like Clomid or Letrozole)
- IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
- IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
We use acupuncture, laser therapy, supplements, and stress-reduction tools to improve outcomes. Research shows acupuncture may increase IVF success and reduce side effects from fertility medications.
Whether you’re just starting out or in the middle of an IVF cycle, we’re here to support your body and mind every step of the way.
IVF acupuncture on transfer day is available onsite at Olive Fertility Clinic in Vancouver.
