In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast we discuss Boosting Fertility at Home: Dr. Susan Fox on TEAS, Acupoints, and Whole-Body Support

Host Jess Tims welcomes Dr. Susan Fox, a doctor of Chinese medicine and acupuncture with 24 years in fertility care, to kick off 2026 with a focus on agency and optimism after 2025. They discuss the importance of working with board-certified fertility specialists in Chinese medicine and Jess shares a past experience with a non-specialized acupuncturist.

Dr. Fox explains TEAS (Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation), a home-based approach using a low-voltage TENS unit on specific fertility-related acupoints to improve blood flow, reduce cortisol, and support outcomes for natural conception, IVF, and egg freezing. She cites a meta-analysis of 3,000+ women (ages 35+ undergoing frozen embryo transfer) showing a 42% increase in live birth rate, and describes her broader program including nutrition, guided meditations with binaural beats, and Qigong, plus a required fertility assessment call.
