A heartfelt patient story highlighting how compassionate, attentive acupuncture care supported one woman from the beginning of her fertility journey through to the birth of her baby boy.

Kerry Hinds, founder of Fertile Body Yoga, shares a powerful perspective on fertility that goes beyond protocols and into the nervous system. Drawing from her personal journey through pregnancy loss, IVF, and eventual natural conception, she reveals how chronic stress, perfectionism, and constant “doing” can keep the body stuck in survival mode—hindering fertility.
In this episode, Kerry explains how slowing down, creating space, and cultivating embodied awareness can shift the body into a state of safety and receptivity. Through yoga, breathwork, and presence, she offers a new approach to fertility—one rooted in surrender, not struggle—where releasing resistance allows the body to return to balance, flow, and the possibility of conception.

Fertility is not just about hormone levels — it is about regulation.
You can have normal labs, regular cycles, and a textbook IVF protocol, yet still struggle to conceive. Often the missing piece is not more hormones, but better communication between the brain, ovaries, uterus, immune system, and nervous system.
At our integrative fertility clinic in Vancouver, we focus on restoring blood flow, mitochondrial energy, inflammation balance, and nervous system regulation to support both natural conception and IVF outcomes.

In Episode 140, Dr. Samuel Wood returns to discuss the latest advances in ovarian rejuvenation, fertility optimization, and regenerative medicine. Discover how mitochondrial health, next-generation platelet therapies, and NAD support egg quality, plus what emerging stem-cell research could mean for fertility preservation and same-sex family building. This episode blends clinical insight, innovation, and hope for anyone navigating fertility challenges.
