The Inflammation Connection to Fertility

S1 E15 • Feb 12, 2026 • 45 mins

Elizabeth Yarnell welcomes Dr. Susan Fox to discuss how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views and addresses inflammation. Dr. Fox introduces DIY acupuncture therapy for improving reproductive health — both for egg retrieval for IVF as well as for natural conception and successful gestation. The episode explores the intersection of fertility, autoimmune diseases, and integrative medicine, emphasizing collaborative care together with medical doctors.

Key Points

  • Addressing chronic inflammation through traditional Chinese medicine involves identifying and treating the root cause of the inflammation using a whole-systems approach that includes acupuncture, dietary changes, and supplementation.
  • DIY acupuncture using a TENS unit can effectively increase blood flow and reduce inflammation, providing a convenient and non-invasive method to support reproductive health at home.
  • Improving overall health through lifestyle changes such as eating organic foods, staying hydrated, and reducing exposure to toxins can significantly enhance fertility and create a healthier environment for conception and pregnancy.
