We’re digging into how to select a fertility acupuncturist

We recommend acupuncture to our clients as part of our Fab Fertile Method.

However, let’s face it, many practitioners offer acupuncture as part of their services.

But do these practitioners have the appropriate training to help with fertility?

It can be confusing so we’re breaking down how to select a fertility acupuncturist so that you don’t waste time or money as you prepare for pregnancy success.

Today I’m welcoming Tsao-Lin Moy back to the podcast. Using her expertise in fertility she helps women heal underlying health issues and improve their fertility so they can get pregnant naturally using her signature fertility acupuncture protocols and Chinese medicine.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  1. How to select a fertility acupuncturist. How to know if they are certified. Which credentials are a must when you are on the fertility journey.
  2. Top tips to ensure your fertility acupuncture session is effective.
  3. What to avoid with fertility acupuncture so that you don’t waste time and money.
  4. How to find a fertility acupuncturist that is close to you.
  5. How many sessions can help optimize fertility.
  6. Some recommendations to do at home. We discuss acupressure and how this can be done in between sessions.

HIGHLIGHTS:

1:46 WELCOME TSAO & INTRODUCE TODAY’S TOPIC

3:10 WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A FERTILITY ACUPUNCTURIST

  • The key markers to look for that indicate relevant experience
  • Why a fertility specialization is important
  • Making sure that your Chinese medicine practitioner can work as a team with your Western medicine practitioner
  • How to find out if a practitioner is certified
  • Western medicine doesn’t translate directly to Chinese medicine.

8:47 EXPERIENCED VS. CERTIFIED

  • Look for someone with years of experience post-certification who is comfortable with advanced techniques
  • The longer someone has been practicing, the bigger the body of knowledge that they’ve applied.
  • Some medical doctors are allowed to practice acupuncture without additional certification
  • What I do is highly tailored and personalized.
  • Key differences in how Chinese and Western medicine view healing and treatment
  • Western medicine is more transactional. Chinese medicine is transformational.

14:01 COMMON MISTAKES

  • Approaching the acupuncture process with the right mindset
  • The integration process is important in allowing yourself to heal.
  • You have to be prepared to make changes in your life and be an active participant in your health journey

17:22 SETTING THE NECESSARY BOUNDARIES FOR YOUR HEALTH

  • Allowing yourself to be in a receiving state for your baby
  • The baby comes through you, not from you.
  • Digging into the deeper self-talk and mindset that might be negatively affecting your health

24:17 FOUNDATIONAL EXERCISES TSAO RECOMMENDS

27:13 HOW ACUPUNCTURE HELPS WITH MINDSET

  • When you feel better about yourself you make better choices.

29:43 HOW TO FIND A QUALIFIED PRACTITIONER

31:08 WHAT DOES AN ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT PLAN LOOK LIKE?

  • Give yourself at least 6 months
  • Avoid giving your body a massive overnight shock

  • The lifestyle changes you make on your pregnancy journey would probably serve you well even after you have your baby
  • Living is a practice.
