Are you navigating baby loss, infertility, or hormonal imbalance and wondering if acupuncture could help?

In this insightful episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, hosts Bex Gunn and Laura Buckingham welcome Kimberly Shepherd, fertility acupuncturist and founder of Life and Lemons Clinic, to uncover how acupuncture can support fertility, IVF, miscarriage recovery, menstrual irregularities, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with trying to conceive.

Kimberly shares her expert perspective on how acupuncture improves blood flow to reproductive organs, supports the nervous system, and helps regulate inflammation and immune responses—all vital to reproductive and emotional wellbeing. Plus, the hosts share their personal success stories with acupuncture and break down common myths and stigma.
