In this episode, I'll be talking with Susanna Pueyas, a licensed acupuncturist and a holistic hormone and fertility specialist who's been helping women heal their wounds and get pregnant for over a decade. As a functional and Chinese medicine practitioner, she helps women reverse decades of damage and replenish reserves to fix their cycle, live pain and medication free while boosting their success at a safe natural pregnancy.
We discuss the holistic approaches that you can take to optimize egg and sperm quality via the traditional Chinese medicine lens.
**Holistic Fertility Overhaul**: Fertility isn't just about the now; it's a reflection of overall health. Susana shared how up to 90% of fertility issues stem from environmental factors and that simple changes in diet and lifestyle, coupled with testing for toxins, can make a significant difference.
**Powerful Natural Remedies**: Her innovative Yoni Sync elixir line, which aligns with menstrual cycle phases, and a focus on bitter foods to balance gut health, demonstrates how nature offers potent solutions for craving control and internal cleansing.
**Empowerment Through Knowledge**: Susana's expertise shows us that understanding our bodies and environmental influences can lead to informed decisions. Her emphasis on preconception care and functional testing speaks to a much-needed shift in how we approach fertility and overall health.
