feRtiLity + RepRoDuctive HeaLth

It is estimated that 1 in 8 couples are struggling to conceive. The practitioners at Phoenix Rising are specialists in fertility and reproductive health for both men and women. Phoenix Rising has created an effective and supportive integrative fertility program that combines the wisdom of Traditional East Asian Medicine with the modern day science of functional medicine. We partner with each of our patients and couples who are trying to conceive naturally and those who are using reproductive assistance via IUI and IVF, and we continue the support during pregnancy and postpartum.

To obtain optimum results, the fertility program is a four month protocol that incorporates acupuncture, customized herbal medicine, dietary, environmental and lifestyle optimization, nutritional supplementation (if needed) and functional medicine testing (if needed).

For women, it takes a minimum of three months for eggs to mature. The Phoenix Rising fertility protocol works to:

• Optimize egg quality

• Balance hormones

• Regulate cycle

• Dissipate PMS and painful periods

• Address other underlying causes that could be affecting fertility, including gut health, food sensitivities, inflammation, toxin exposures, etc.

For men, it takes 72-90 days for sperm to mature. During this three month window, weekly acupuncture, as studies demonstrate is recommended in order to:

• Optimize sperm quality (for IUI, IVF and natural)

• Increase sperm production

• Increase percentage of healthy sperm

• Improve sperm mobility and motility

• Optimize levels of hormones responsible for fertility
