Happy Fertility Friday AND National Relaxation Day!

These two things go together beautifully, because learning how to relax is crucial to your reproductive health. Constant stress and overwhelm can impact your menstrual cycle by delaying or even preventing ovulation, and if you're not ovulating, you won't be able to make a baby. Stress can also damage egg quality even if you are still ovulating. Yikes!

Of course, one of our favorite recommendations to support the nervous system and help you feel calm is acupuncture. It might not sound relaxing since it involves needles, but we promise it is!

Whether or not you are trying to conceive, try to give yourself extra space to relax today. You deserve it -- and your body will thank you for it.

If you are curious to know how acupuncture could benefit your fertility journey, give us a call at 704-275-3856 or book a free fifteen-minute consultation by following this link: https://shorturl.at/VsGc5. We'd love to help you achieve your health goals!

Endometriosis can feel like an overwhelming diagnosis, but we're here to support you.

While acupuncture isn't a cure for endometriosis, it can greatly improve quality of life for those suffering from the disease in several ways.

Acupuncture reduces inflammation and can serve as a medication-free pain reliever for pelvic and menstrual pain associated with endometriosis. Furthermore, since acupuncture helps restore balance to your hormones, it may help slow the growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus, leading to fewer medical interventions down the line.

Diagnosed with endometriosis and aren't sure what to do next? Let us help. Give us a call at 704-275-3856 or follow this link to book a free fifteen-minute consultation with us: https://shorturl.at/VsGc5.

Struggling with ADHD?

This may be surprising, but acupuncture can actually help with that.

It has been found that regular acupuncture treatments can relieve symptoms of ADHD, such as hyperactivity, impulsivity, and problems with focus. It can be a great complementary therapy for those already on medication, and has been found to be a viable treatment alternative for those who cannot take medication for ADHD.

Go a little too hard at the gym and pull a muscle? We can help with that!

Acupuncture can provide relief from acute and even chronic muscular pain. By boosting blood flow to the injured areas, the needles used during treatment can help stimulate healing and also decrease pain with fewer side effects than over-the-counter pain relievers. It's also great for relaxing tight muscles, which can actually help prevent further injuries from occurring.

Need some relief after over-exerting yourself at the gym or on the court? Give us a call at 704-275-3856 or follow this link to schedule a free fifteen-minute consultation with us: https://shorturl.at/VsGc5. We'll get you back to hitting those reps pain-free!

Happy Fertility Friday!

Today's fertility tip revolves around endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors refer to compounds that can negatively interfere with the body's hormones. Unfortunately, in today's society, it is all too easy to be exposed to endocrine disruptors on a daily basis. This can stress our bodies and lead to an overload on the liver, whose main function is to clear the body from toxins.

When trying to conceive, we want our hormones to be in tip-top shape. Here are some mindful swaps to take into consideration to help boost your hormone health:

- swap plastic food containers, cups, and utensils for glass or stainless steel;
- swap personal hygiene items, such as soaps, shampoos, and lotions, for fragrance free versions;
- swap conventionally farmed produce for organic produce (bonus points if it's local!).

While it can feel overwhelming to start clearing endocrine disruptors out of your home, take it product by product and swap them out one or two at a time. Eventually, you'll build up a hormone-friendly collection!

In addition to supporting your hormones by being mindful of the products you use, you can always count on acupuncture to help get your body ready for conception. If you're interested in booking an appointment with us, give us a call at 704-275-3856. You can also book a free fifteen-minute consultation by following this link: https://shorturl.at/VsGc5.

So you had a baby! Now what?

If there is ever a time that your body needs extra support, it's definitely in the postpartum period. Acupuncture can help with all sorts of things that tend to pop up after having a baby, such as lactation concerns, hormone imbalances, and lingering pain. Paired with herbal support, we can have you feeling like Super-Mom in no time.

Happy Fertility Friday!

Today's tip is for all the fellas out there who are trying to conceive with their partners. Try adding Brazil nuts to your diet!

Brazil nuts are rich in the mineral selenium, which plays a vital role in the production of s***m. It also protects the s***m from oxidative stress, and can support its motility.

Since they contain so much selenium, you really only need two or three a day to meet your daily selenium goals. They're really good on top of brownies... just go easy on the sugar when trying to conceive!

Have you seen all the buzz about trying to hit 10,000 steps every day? There's a good reason for all the hype around hitting your step goals.

Walking is an excellent, gentle exercise that can help boost blood and Qi (pronounced chee) circulation. When blood and Qi are not circulated properly, you run the risk of stagnation, which can cause all sorts of issues in the body depending on where your energy becomes stuck.

Acupuncture can also be a great avenue to help your body's energy start flowing properly again. If you're feeling a little stuck in your wellness journey, give us a call at 704-275-3856 or schedule a free fifteen-minute consultation by following this link: https://shorturl.at/VsGc5.
