If there’s ever been a time to focus on nutrition, it’s now. There’s no denying the good, nutrient-dense food is foundational for healing, prevention, energy, and overall health. Social distancing shouldn't get in the way of eating well.

What You Can Do In Between Acupuncture Treatments To Boost Fertility

Have Faith Not Fear During These Unsettled Times
Mar 26, 2020In the past few months we have faced something few of us would have ever imagined possible. It's straight out of a hollywood film like Contagion or Outbreak. When talking to patients I can hear the fear in their voices. I can see the feeling of unease when waving to my neighbors. We have a feeling of fear around our health, our finances, a general sense of lack of control, even a fear of running out of toilet paper!
March 23 Update
Mar 23, 2020

Mar 05, 2020I wanted to pass along a story from one of my more recent patients, let's call her Alison.

BOOSTING YOUR IVF SUCCESS WITH LASER AND ACUPUNCTURE
Feb 18, 2020I have many patients coming to me about to start an IVF cycle. And whether it’s their first or their fourth their main concern is doing everything they possibly can to make this their best (and last) cycle.

Jan 29, 2020I get this question at least weekly in clinic and since it’s a pretty hot topic and we haven’t blogged about it in quite a few years, I thought I would shed some light and include some more up to date information and studies. The first thing we need to do is separate the facts for men and women.
