In this episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm diving into a topic that often doesn't get enough attention when it comes to fertility, blood flow and microcirculation. From my perspective as a fertility acupuncturist and through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), blood is so much more than oxygen delivery, it's the vital carrier of nutrients, energy, and life force.

I'll share why healthy circulation to the uterus and ovaries is essential for egg quality and implantation, and how poor blood flow can affect fertility outcomes. More importantly, I'll give you natural tools you can start using today, like acupuncture, abdominal massage, stress reduction, and foods such as beets and pomegranates, that can help support optimal blood flow.

This conversation is all about reconnecting with your body, learning the signals it's giving you, and using holistic, practical ways to create the best possible environment for conception.

Key Takeaways:

• Adequate blood flow to the uterus and ovaries is essential for egg quality and implantation.
• Stress and "liver qi stagnation" can constrict circulation, but acupuncture helps restore balance.
• Foods like beets, pomegranate juice, and omega-3s naturally increase nitric oxide and improve blood vessel health.
• Simple lifestyle shifts like yoga, breathwork, and warm nourishing meals can enhance circulation and fertility.
• Abdominal massage and castor oil packs are powerful, low-cost tools to support reproductive health.
