Our favorite acupuncturist — and Kayti’s personal fertility fairy godmother — is on the pod today! Dr. Bento (Dr. Sarah Bentolila), DAIM, L.Ac, who treated Kayti for two years and played a huge role in helping her get pregnant, joins us for a deep and grounded conversation about acupuncture for fertility.

We get into all the big questions: how acupuncture supports IVF and infertility, how Chinese herbal medicine can complement IVF and Western medicine, the truth about eating liver, and the mystery of whether you really need to wear socks.

Dr. Bento brings so much clarity, compassion, and humor to a topic that’s often overwhelming — and if you’ve ever sat on an acupuncture table wondering what on earth is happening, this episode will hopefully give you answers and ease your mind.
