To optimize fertility and preconception health, it is essential to enjoy a nutrient dense diet that focuses on blood sugar regulation, hydration, and daily elimination. During this time, prioritize sleep, repletion exercise (not depletion), emotional wellness, and activities that cultivate joy.

Additional ways to optimize fertility with lifestyle and diet:
👉Eat a meal or snack containing ample protein, complex carbohydrates, and fat every 2-3 hours
👉Avoid endocrine disruptors commonly found in cleaning products, cookware, plastic food packaging and drinkware
👉Prioritize stress management through breathwork, yin yoga, time in nature and time with loved ones
👉Exercize focused on the phase of your cycle you’re in 
👉Core Supplements: D3, a Comprehensive Prenatal, Fish Oil or Cod Liver Oil, Probiotic, Magnesium

Preconception is multifaceted. If you have questions about these ways to optimize fertility we would love to connect with you and support you on this journey. Reach out to hello@hearthacupuncture.com!

👉 Endometriosis impacts 1 in 10 women, it is often difficult to find helpful information for dealing with the symptoms and can often take years to receive an official diagnosis. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and can often be really debilitating.

Endometriosis is when endometrial tissue grows and proliferates outside the uterine lining where it doesn’t belong wreaking havoc on the body. This can lead to painful periods, pain around ovulation, fatigue, digestive issues (IBS, constipation, diarrhea), joint pain,  infertility, bloating, nausea and more, the impact of this condition is vast.

If you or someone in your life has endometriosis, we hope this list of recommendations is a supportive place to start. 🤲

👉Did you know that autumn is associated with lung health?

As we enter this season, we are talking about how strengthening your lungs’ qi will promote wellbeing and balance in your body🫁

In Chinese Medicine, there are certain foods that support the spleen and strengthen lung qi including grains, root vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, and warm spices. By incorporating these foods into your diet this autumn, you can work with the season to nourish and strengthen your body🫜🫚🌾 🍠

👉 If you are interested in learning more about how to enter autumn using the principles of Chinese Medicine, read our blog post called “Autumn, Our Very Favorite Season and How to Make it Even Better!”

💡 Does this sound like you?
👉You lie awake at night, watching the clock creep along, restlessly tossing in bed, only to wake up feeling depleted and stressed? 😴

Western medicine likes to prescribe sleep medication for these cases of insomnia, but these are just a bandaid over a deeper issue. 

🤲 Chinese medicine looks at insomnia as an imbalance of the zang organs (heart, liver, lung, and spleen). Acupuncture brings peace to the mind and balance back to the body.

😴There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating insomnia, so let Hearth Acupuncture help you find the root of your sleeping issues and bring your body back into balance.

🙋Are you living with chronic pain and looking for support? Let us help!

🤲 Acupuncture has been proven to reduce pain by at least 50%. Acupuncture gets to the source of the problem and helps to calm the parasympathetic nervous system and calm the mind, allowing you to address the emotional aspect of the condition. 😌

You will not only be surprised by the pain relief you experience, you also will experience the added benefits of relaxation, stress reduction, regulating digestion, better sleep, and an uplifted mood! 😌🌱

Do you have questions or would you like assistance with scheduling? Reach out to hello@hearthacupuncture.com

💨Have you tried breathwork before?

🫁Breathwork is a wonderful way to strengthen your lung’s qi and support yourself through strong emotions like stress and grief. 

🤲🌱In Chinese Medicine, the lungs represent clear thinking, communication, openness, and grief. By pausing throughout the day to practice breathwork, you can wake up the body,  ground yourself, and refresh your energy.

Here is a step by step guide for an exercise called Alternate Nostril Breathing: 👃💨
- Sit or lie down comfortably
- Close your right nostril with your thumb then inhale through your left nostril
- Close your left nostril and exhale through your right nostril
- Repeat, alternating nostrils 

Let us know how you feel after practicing Alternate Nostril Breathing!💨

Autumn is our favorite time of year, and for good reason!🍂

This season brings with it a change in energy from the yang energy of summer into the yin energy of the cooler months.

This is a time of turning inward, of reflection and introspection. In Chinese medicine, the changes we see in nature are reflections of our health. 🍂

As we prepare for autumn, take time to consider-
👉 What is no longer serving you?
👉 What is stopping you from becoming the fullest expression of yourself?
👉 What can you release?

Answering these questions will help you reflect and be attuned to your needs entering this new season.🤲🍂

Hearth Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine

Hearth Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine provides a modern approach to Traditional Chinese medicine, utilizing acupuncture, herbal and dietary therapy, TCM modalities, and integrative medicine to create balance within and support the body in its natural ability to heal. We are dedicated to healing on every level with an emphasis on women’s health. The name hearth encompasses what we aim to provide to our patients. A warm, inviting, supportive, and nurturing space that symbolizes home and comfort. If you’re looking for a space to build lasting and sustainable health we invite you to come in.

Kerry is a licensed acupuncturist and board-certified Chinese herbalist specializing in the treatment of women’s health with a focus in fertility, prenatal and postpartum care. Beyond the scope of women’s health, Hearth treats both women and men and provides general care for anyone looking to live a life of sustained health and well being. Kerry’s priority is to offer a supportive and healing space for patients who seek optimal health, wholeness, and balance in their lives. She aims to provide the highest level of care and compassion to her patients, providing them with all the tools they need to reach their goals of health and wellbeing by looking at the body and person as a whole, not merely a series of symptoms. In treatment she will utilize a variety of modalities through the use of acupuncture, Chinese and western herbs, lifestyle modifications, integrative care, moxibustion, cupping, nutrition therapy, and bodywork. Before moving to Asheville, North Carolina, she and her husband lived in Portland, Oregon where she began her career in Chinese medicine. The call to live closer to family, set down roots, and the pull of new opportunities brought them to Asheville. Kerry received her Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine and holds a Fine Arts degree in Ballet from the University of Utah. Currently, she is pursuing an additional certification in Herbal Medicine for Women in a course taught by Dr. Aviva Romm. In her time away from the office and love of medicine, she enjoys spending time with family, experimenting in the kitchen, and exploring beautiful Asheville, North Carolina.
