Are you feeding your fertility? 🥑🍜🥚🥘🥕🥦🥩🥥

The foods on this fertility menu are an absolute powerhouse when it comes to supporting hormone regulation, egg quality, cervical mucus, blood and healthy embryo implantation ✨

Which of these do you already love, and which are you going to be trying?

Okay... now what?!

So you’ve come off hormonal birth control- perhaps because you’re ready to call a baby into your life- and suddenly you’re feeling unsure and confused about what to expect and how to know if you’re body is doing everything it’s supposed to do.

First: take a breath.

You’re not alone in this and so many women feel lost and uncertain once they’ve actually made that decision. The key thing to understand is that coming off of any hormonal birth control is a transition for the body, and that change will affect women differently, depending on the type of contraceptive they’ve been using, the duration of time they used it for, and other variable factors like lifestyle, constitution and age.

There’s no manual that tells you exactly when you will ovulate and exactly when your next period will start I’m afraid- I wish it was as simple as that!

As an experienced fertility specialist, I can tell you this:

➡️ Yes it is possible to get pregnant right away, but you shouldn’t expect that will happen- your body will likely need time to find its own natural rhythm again and adjust to the changes in hormone levels.

➡️ Your first few cycles might be a bit erratic or look different.

➡️ Your signs and symptoms of your cycle and fertility may shift. Especially when we’re talking PMS, cervical mucus, skin changes, mood fluctuations, sleep disturbance, energy levels..... your hormones are waking up, and may be all over the place initially.

➡️ It’s completely okay to feel unsure. Having professional support and expert eyes on your individual case can make huge difference...

You don’t have to guess your way through it!

When I work with you 1:1, in my acupuncture studio or virtually, we focus on some clear goals and use the wisdom of Chinese Medicine to make the transition from birth control to TTC less chaotic and stressful 💜

Your body already knows how to do this- but it might just need some extra TLC.

It’s the season for conserving energy- not chasing it.

As nature turns inward, so should we:

🍲 Warm, cooked meals instead of salads and smoothies.

📖 Early nights with a book instead of late night scrolling.

🧘‍♀️ Gentle movement that builds up Qi, instead of sweating it away.

✨ This is how we protect the depth of our reserves - the same energy that creates the foundation for your fertility and future well being ✨

The holidays can be beautiful- and brutal.
Especially if you’re focused on trying to get pregnant or dealing with infertility.

Family gatherings, social events with friends, surprise pregnancy announcements... and those endless questions like ‘so when are you two going to have kids?’ 🫠

It’s a lot.

Here’s what I tell my fertility patients every year

💜 You’re allowed to protect your peace.

💜 You don’t owe anyone you’re story, or your presence.

💜 You can say no to events that feel too ‘peopley’

💜 You can feel joy and grief at the same time- they coexist more easily than you may think.

This season isn’t about pretending everything is fine, putting on a show and masking how much strain you’re under. It’s also not about beating yourself up over every sip of champagne or serving of pudding you have…

It’s about creating small moments of joy and gratitude, and finding ways to stay grounded- a slow morning, a cup of tea, a good film, a walk outside 😌

I know it can feel super heavy to carry the strain of TTC around with you, especially if it’s something you’ve been struggling with silently. I’m so sorry if that’s you right now.

Inside the Fertility Sanctuary we will be navigating this season together- with emotional support, practical tools, and a space where you never have to explain WHY this time of year is hard.

➡️ Comment ‘SANCTUARY ‘to become a part of the safe space within my online community.

You don’t have to carry this alone.

Managing PCOS should start with what’s on your grocery list…

When it comes to inflammatory, hormone dependent conditions like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) what you eat can make a significant difference.

These food all help to regulate blood sugar, support the reproductive system, and balance hormones- through deep nourishment, not restriction.

🍠Complex carbs- wholemeal rice, pasta and wraps, quinoa, and sweet potato
✨ Slow release energy that doesn’t spike blood sugar and supports insulin sensitivity (a key piece of PCOS management)

🍎 Fibre-rich veg & fruit- Carrots, broccoli, spinach, blueberries and apples.
✨Fibre helps regulate estrogen metabolism and supports healthy digestion. Berries like blueberries are packed with antioxidants, and apples help with insulin resistance.

🥩 High-Quality Proteins - wild salmon, pasture-raised chicken, beef and eggs, and sardines in olive oil
✨ Provide amino acids, iron, omega-3s to reduce inflammation and improve egg quality.

🫚 Anti-Inflammatory herbs and spices - turmeric, ginger and cinnamon, along with herbal teas like nettle and spearmint.
✨ Help regulate androgens, calm inflammation, and support the liver in efficient hormone processing.

🥑 Healthy fats - avocado, extra virgin olive oil, walnuts, chia, flax, h**p and pumpkin seeds.
✨Support ovulation and help regulate cycles, as well as providing the building blocks for healthy hormone production.

Follow me for more guidance on how to use acupuncture, herbs and nutrition to naturally support fertility, and manage difficult conditions like PCOS 💜

Blood deficiency isn’t always about low iron.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) we focus more on how deeply your body is being nourished, how strong the energetic communication and harmony of your organs is, and whether your Qi and Blood is being overly drained or regularly replenished.

This is the power of looking beyond the numbers — In TCM we go to the root, not just what’s on the surface.

It’s for this reason that Chinese Medicine can see what other more conventional approaches might miss. So often I see women in my clinic and in my coaching sessions that come to me with ‘normal’ lab results, but they still feel drained and disconnected from their body- this is especially true when it comes to fertility.

Comment ‘ROADMAP’ to book a 1:1 call with me, where we go deeper into this to start getting real answers that are tailor made to YOU and YOUR body- not to a sheet of bloods that shows ‘normal’ ranges.
