In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I’m thrilled to welcome Anne Matthews, a renowned practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and the founder of Energy Tree Studios in Toronto. We’re diving into an important topic: endometriosis. This pro-inflammatory condition can significantly impact fertility, and Anne shares how acupuncture can play a role in supporting immune function and improving fertility outcomes. 

What I love is that Anne does an amazing job of explaining the science behind the immune challenges linked to endometriosis, and she's sharing some recent studies that offer new ideas about how acupuncture can help manage endometriosis. We talk about the roles of cytokines and macrophages, and she highlights how personalized diet plans and exercise routines can make a big difference for fertility patients.

In this episode, we cover:

• Understanding endometriosis: What it is, how it affects fertility, and its connection to immune challenges like cytokines and macrophages.
• The role of acupuncture: How it supports immune function and improves fertility outcomes for those with endometriosis.
• Personalized approaches: Tailoring diet plans and exercise routines to manage endometriosis and boost overall health.
• Inspiring success stories: How a patient with severe endometriosis achieved her dream of becoming a mother through a multidisciplinary approach.
• Empowering tools for healing: How holistic practices, like vision boards and integrative care, can support your fertility journey.
