Can I be honest with you for a second?

The fertility industry is not set up to help you figure out what is actually relevant to your body. It is set up to sell you the next thing. Another supplement, another protocol, another approach that worked for someone else. And because you want this so much, you try it. Of course you do.

But I sit with women every week who are doing an incredible amount and still feel like they are going nowhere. Not because they are doing the wrong things, but because there is nothing holding it all together. No sequence, no real way of knowing what is working and what just needs to go.

That is not a you problem. That is a missing plan problem. And that is very fixable.

The gap between IVF cycles, or the months before a first cycle begins, tends to feel like waiting. I want to offer you a different way to think about it.

That window is not empty time. It is the period when the follicles that will become your retrieved eggs are actively developing and are most responsive to the environment around them. What you eat, how you sleep, how your nervous system is functioning, what your inflammatory load looks like, whether your nutritional status is actually supporting egg quality, all of it is relevant during those 90 days in a way that is grounded in reproductive biology, not wishful thinking.

I went into my own IVF cycle at 42 having used that window deliberately. I work with women every day who are in it right now. And the approach is always the same: not more things added to an already overwhelming list, but the right things, specific to your body, in an order that makes sense.

Save this post. And when you are ready to talk about what your preparation window could look like, DM me PLAN or find the waitlist link in bio.

I want to be really clear about something because I think there is sometimes a perceived tension between natural or holistic support and medical fertility treatment, and I do not think that tension is real or useful.

Nobody is asking you to choose between the two. What I am asking you to consider is that the body you bring to your IVF cycle is something you have real influence over, and that influence is worth using. Supporting your foundation in the months before treatment is not an alternative to medical care. It is what sits underneath it and makes the conditions for it as good as they can be.

I did this for myself at 42. I recommend it for every woman I work with. Not because it replaces anything your clinic does, but because it adds something your clinic does not have the capacity to provide.

The thing that nobody tells you before your first IVF consultation is that your clinic’s job and your job are two different things, and both of them matter.

Your clinic handles the protocol, the monitoring, the retrieval, the transfer. They are very good at that part. What falls outside their scope is the state of your body before any of that begins, and that state is not a minor variable. It is one of the most significant ones in play.

I went through IVF myself. I also work with women every day who are preparing for it, going through it, or processing what comes after an unsuccessful round. And the pattern I see consistently is that the women who invest in their foundation before treatment, who understand their cycle, address their nutritional gaps, and support their nervous system deliberately, bring a better-prepared body to the process. That does not guarantee an outcome. But it changes what is possible.

There is a point on this journey where the plan stops serving you and you start serving the plan, and if you have been at this for a while, there is a good chance you have already crossed it.

I am not saying this to make you feel like you have been doing it wrong. I am saying it because I see it constantly and nobody talks about it. The fertility space is very good at selling you the next thing to add. It is not very good at helping you figure out what is actually relevant to you, what order things should go in, or when enough is genuinely enough.

That is the work I do with women inside the Mala Fertility Method. Not more. Better. Specific. Structured around your body and where you actually are right now.

I want to say this clearly because I know how loud that voice in your head gets as the months go on: you are not too late, and this is not over.

What I see far more often than women who have genuinely run out of time is women who are moving fast in no particular direction, trying things, dropping things, reacting to new information, and then wondering why they feel like they are getting nowhere. That is not a timing problem. That is a structure problem, and structure is something we can actually fix.

If you have been feeling behind, I want you to consider that what you might actually be feeling is lost. And lost does not mean late. It means you need a clearer path.

The Mala Fertility Method waitlist is open for women who are ready to stop moving without direction. Link in bio.

This is one of the hardest things to say to a woman who is clearly trying so hard, but trying harder is not always the answer, and in some cases it is quietly making things worse.

When I work with clients who have been on this journey for a while, I often find that they are not missing information.

They have plenty of that. What they are missing is a structure that was designed for their body specifically, one that tells them what to prioritise, what to let go of, and what to do next when things do not go to plan.
If you have been collecting protocols and stacking supplements and still feel like you are missing a piece, you are probably not missing a piece. You are missing a plan.

There is one question that has the potential to change the course of a woman’s fertility investigation, and most women leave their appointments without asking it.
“”Could this be endometriosis, and how would we specifically look for it?””

Not a standard ultrasound. Not a general gynecological check. A specialist assessment with someone who is trained to look for endometriosis specifically, because a standard clear scan does not rule it out, and a general appointment does not always prompt the right investigation unless you ask for it directly.

Many women do not know this. They receive a clear ultrasound, are told everything looks fine, and leave without understanding that what they received was a general screening tool, not a definitive assessment for endometriosis.

Knowing what to ask for changes what you receive. A specialist transvaginal ultrasound with someone trained in endometriosis imaging, a referral to an endometriosis specialist, or a discussion about diagnostic laparoscopy as an option are all things you are entitled to raise, and a good practitioner will take those questions seriously.

The evidence base for acupuncture in endometriosis is growing, and it is worth knowing about.

A 2024 meta-analysis published in the Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics reviewed 14 randomised controlled trials involving nearly 800 patients and found that acupuncture produced meaningful improvements in endometriosis-associated pain. Researchers identified its effects on the body’s natural pain-regulating compounds as a key part of the mechanism, adding scientific grounding to what Chinese medicine practitioners have observed clinically for a very long time.

This matters for a few reasons. It matters because women with endometriosis are often told that complementary approaches are not evidence-based, when the evidence is in fact accumulating steadily. It matters because pain management options for endometriosis remain limited and frequently inadequate, and women deserve to know about approaches that have clinical support behind them. And it matters because acupuncture is not simply masking pain. It is working on the underlying inflammatory and circulatory patterns that contribute to it.

In clinic, this aligns with what I see consistently. Women who come in with debilitating period pain and commit to a course of regular acupuncture alongside herbal support do not just experience temporary relief. They experience a genuine shift in their baseline over time.

The research is catching up to what clinical practice has long understood. And that is worth paying attention to.

Fertility conversations tend to centre on hormones, egg count, and embryo quality. All of those things matter. But there is a piece of the puzzle that comes up far less often in standard fertility care, and that is the quality of circulation in the pelvis.

For conception to occur and for a pregnancy to sustain, the uterus and ovaries need healthy, consistent blood flow. The uterine lining needs to be well-nourished. The environment that an embryo arrives into needs to be receptive rather than inflamed or congested.

When circulation in the pelvis is compromised, which in Chinese medicine shows up as dark clotted blood, pain that responds to heat, a cycle that is slow to start, or a feeling of heaviness and congestion in the lower abdomen, it can affect all of those things. Not dramatically or suddenly, but consistently, cycle after cycle, in ways that are difficult to identify on a standard fertility workup.

Improving pelvic circulation is one of the foundational goals of Chinese medicine fertility support. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and targeted lifestyle adjustments work together to create an internal environment that supports the cycle, the ovaries, and ultimately the conditions that fertility depends on.

If you have been told your fertility results are normal but something still feels off, the quality of your pelvic environment is worth looking at more closely.

Food is not separate from your cycle. In Chinese medicine it never has been.

The foods and drinks you consume regularly, and particularly in the days leading up to and during your period, either support or impair the circulation and warmth that the pelvis needs to move through the cycle smoothly.

Cold foods and drinks are one of the most consistently overlooked contributors to painful periods. Not because a single iced coffee causes cramping, but because habitually consuming cold, raw, or highly processed foods creates an internal environment where circulation is sluggish, inflammation is higher, and the body has to work much harder to complete the cycle without significant pain.

On the other side, warming foods like ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, bone broth, soups and stews, leafy greens, mushrooms, and adzuki beans actively support circulation, reduce inflammation, and nourish the blood quality that the cycle depends on.

These are not dramatic changes. They are small, consistent adjustments that, built into daily eating over several cycles, can meaningfully shift how your period feels.

This is one of the foundations we cover in the 3-Month Path to Fertility course, because understanding how to use food to support your cycle is one of the most accessible and sustainable tools available to you regardless of where you are in your fertility journey.

I’ve been sitting with an idea lately…
and it keeps coming back.

So I’m just going to say it.

For the past year I’ve been getting messages from women asking if there is a place to go deeper with fertility preparation.
Somewhere to actually understand what to do each month.
Somewhere to ask real questions during IVF or trying naturally.
Somewhere that doesn’t feel chaotic or full of conflicting advice.

At first I wasn’t planning to build something like this.
I already see patients. I teach in clinic.

But the truth is… I know how lonely and uncertain this process can feel.
I’ve lived natural conception, fertility procedures, IVF, pregnancy in my 40s, and supporting my body with acupuncture and Chinese medicine the whole way.

And I keep thinking… what if there was a space where we:
✨create a clear monthly fertility preparation plan
✨understand cycle timing, treatment strategy, and body signals
✨stay emotionally steady through waiting, setbacks, and decisions

A place where women move forward instead of spiraling.
Where you stop second-guessing and start feeling more prepared.

The more I think about it, the more I feel this needs to exist.
And I don’t want to build it in isolation.

I want to build it with the women who actually need it.
So here is my invitation.

If you join as a founding member, you will receive early access to the program at a significantly reduced rate that will stay locked in for you even as the offer grows.

You will help shape the content.
Your real experiences will guide what we create.

This will not be a generic fertility course.
It will be a strategic preparation space built for women in their late 30s and 40s.

Right now this is still forming. The full curriculum is not finished. Some of the most valuable pieces will come directly from this first group.

Between now and launch we will be mapping out what actually helps.
Step by step. Month by month.

If this speaks to you and you want to be part of building something meaningful from the beginning, DM me PLAN by Sunday night and I will send you the details.
