Enhancing Fertility Through Acupuncture and Emotional Wellness with Dr. Susan Fox
Jul 16, 2024Unlocking Fertility: The Power of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
In our latest podcast episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Susan Fox, a renowned expert in fertility acupuncture from the Norcal Fertility Group. Dr. Fox has dedicated over two decades to helping individuals improve their fertility through the principles of Chinese medicine. Her journey into this field was serendipitous, but her impact has been profound.
"It's evidence-based. There is even now a website called Evidence-Based Acupuncture that goes through and culls research that has proven, to the extent that anything can be proven, its efficacy with a variety of conditions, including fertility."
Dr. Fox's innovative approach combines traditional techniques with modern advancements. She has recently transitioned from private practice to online education, making her expertise accessible to a broader audience. Her course, "Your Fertile Health" at Health University, integrates Chinese medicine and acupuncture without the need for needles. This course utilizes near-infrared protocols and transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS), allowing individuals to receive treatments from the comfort of their homes.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Dr. Fox's approach is her use of the Five Element Model in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This model categorizes individuals into five elements: wood, fire, earth, air, and water. Each element has its own characteristics and imbalances, which can impact fertility. Dr. Fox's course begins with a quiz available at yourfertilityquiz.com, which helps individuals identify their dominant element and provides personalized recommendations to restore balance.
"This five element model reminds us that we are nature, that we are creatures of nature, and that there are aspects to our being-ness that are reminiscent of the five elements in nature. And we call them wood, fire, earth, air, and water."
During our conversation, Dr. Fox emphasized the importance of addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of fertility. Many individuals struggling with fertility feel disconnected from their bodies and overwhelmed by medical diagnoses and treatments. The Five Element Model helps them reconnect with their natural rhythms and understand their unique constitution.
Dr. Fox also shared practical tips that anyone can implement to improve their fertility. She highlighted the importance of nutrition, hydration, circulation, and sleep. A nutrient-dense diet, proper hydration with electrolytes, targeted circulation protocols, and restorative sleep are all crucial for reproductive health. She also cautioned against the use of over-the-counter supplements from unreliable sources, recommending that individuals seek guidance from trained professionals.
For those interested in learning more, Dr. Fox offers a free fertility quiz and a comprehensive online course. These resources provide valuable insights and actionable steps to enhance fertility naturally. Whether you're actively trying to conceive or simply interested in improving your overall health, Dr. Fox's expertise and compassionate approach offer a beacon of hope.
