Natural Fertility IVF Support Acupuncture

You deserve more than "just keep trying."

We investigate the biology behind why you're not conceiving — hormones, gut health, inflammation, nutrient status, stress response — and build a protocol designed for your body.

Who We Help

Three paths. One root-cause approach.

Path 01

Natural Fertility

Trying naturally or just starting your journey? We optimize ovulation, sperm quality, hormone balance, and nutrient status before you ever need a fertility clinic.

Cycle Optimization Preconception Care Male Factor

What We Address

  • Irregular or absent ovulation
  • Low progesterone & luteal phase defects
  • Endometriosis & PCOS/PMOS
  • Sperm motility, morphology & count
  • Thyroid & nutrient deficiencies

How We Support

  • Pre-transfer acupuncture protocols
  • Egg & embryo quality optimization
  • Uterine lining support
  • Stress & cortisol management during cycles
  • Coordination with your RE or OB

Path 02

IVF & IUI Support

Already working with a fertility clinic? We work alongside your reproductive endocrinologist to improve egg quality, uterine receptivity, and reduce the stress that tanks success rates.

Acupuncture Egg Quality Transfer Support

Path 03

Recurrent Loss & Unexplained Infertility

When no one can tell you why, we dig deeper. Autoimmune markers, clotting factors, hidden infections, progesterone timing — we investigate what conventional workups miss.

Autoimmune Screen Clotting Factors Immune Markers

What We Investigate

  • Antiphospholipid antibodies & clotting
  • NK cell activity & immune imbalance
  • Hidden infections (TORCH, endometritis)
  • Progesterone timing & luteal adequacy
  • MTHFR & methylation defects

Fertility Acupuncture

Acupuncture isn't "alternative." It's evidence-based.

Fertility acupuncture increases blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, regulates the HPA axis, reduces cortisol, and supports implantation. Studies show it improves IVF outcomes when done correctly — not once, but as a protocol.

Dr. Newman specializes in fertility acupuncture with protocols timed to your cycle phase — follicular, ovulatory, luteal, and pre/post-transfer for IVF patients.

Advanced Testing

What we test that others don't.

Comprehensive Hormone Panel

Estradiol, progesterone (timed to cycle), LH, FSH, AMH, testosterone, DHEA-S, prolactin, and sex hormone-binding globulin. We don't check hormones randomly — we time them to your cycle.

Markers

12+

Thyroid & Metabolic Screen

Subclinical thyroid issues are a leading cause of infertility and early miscarriage. We run TSH, Free T3/T4, antibodies, plus fasting insulin, HbA1c, and vitamin D — all affect implantation.

Critical for

Implantation

Immune & Autoimmune Panel

For recurrent loss: antiphospholipid antibodies, ANA, anti-thyroid antibodies, NK cell activity, and clotting factors. When losses happen without explanation, the immune system is often the missing piece.

Screens

8+ markers

Nutrient & Methylation Status

Folate (not just folic acid), B12, iron/ferritin, zinc, CoQ10, omega-3 index, and MTHFR status. These nutrients directly impact egg quality, sperm health, and early embryo development.

Impacts

Egg Quality

Fertility isn't just about getting pregnant. It's about creating the healthiest possible environment for conception, implantation, and the first trimester — before you even see a positive test.

We treat fertility as a whole-body event. Your thyroid, your gut, your stress response, your nutrient reserves, your immune system — they all have a vote. Our job is to make sure every vote counts in your favor.

Take the First Step

Your fertility journey starts with answers.

Your first visit is 75–90 minutes — enough time to map your full fertility picture, review past testing, and start building a protocol that addresses the root cause. Not a 10-minute visit with a Clomid prescription.
