The Fertility Frequency Podcast | Acupuncture, Fertility & the Courage to Keep Your Heart Open — with Sharon Pitardi
In this episode, I sit down with Sharon Pitardi — acupuncturist, Oriental Medicine practitioner, and a woman whose own journey through fertility challenges led her into this work.
We talk about what it really means when your body is struggling to conceive — not as failure, but as a call for deeper support. Sharon shares her perspective on recurrent miscarriage, the most common barriers to fertility she sees in her clinic, and how acupuncture can support you through trying to conceive and IVF.
We also go somewhere a little more tender — how do you keep your heart open after so much disappointment? This is the conversation I think so many women trying to conceive need to hear.
In this episode:
🌿 Sharon's own journey into Chinese medicine through fertility challenges
🌿 Why "struggling to fall pregnant" isn't your body failing you
🌿 Recurrent miscarriage — a Chinese medicine perspective
🌿 When and how to start acupuncture for fertility
🌿 What to expect from acupuncture treatment
🌿 Sharon's three top tips for fertility
