Fertility rates nationwide are down. Between 2007 and 2022, fertility rates have dropped by around 19% because of a wide range of factors from environmental toxins, added stress since the pandemic, and hormonal disruptors to name a few. This can make it difficult to become pregnant when you want to, however acupuncture and holistic nutrition support can help.
At The Living Well Chiro + Acu, Dr. Brianne Levandoski specializes in fertility. Whether you are seeking holistic fertility support or help during the IUI or IVF journey, she is here to help. Dr. Brianne recognizes fertility is multifactorial including the quality of one's nutrition from mineral and vitamin stores, to environmental toxins, and nervous system and hormone functioning. Acupuncture can benefit fertility immensely, in fact it has been shown to improve pregnancy rates by up to 42%  in women. Regarding fertility, acupuncture works in three ways:
1. Balances Hormones- Acupuncture influences the hypothalamus pituitary axis (HPA) axis that responds to the endocrine system to optimize hormones.
2. Regulating Nervous System- Acupuncture influences neurotransmitters in the brain such as endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine to have your body be in a safe and healing state; the exact state you need to be in to conceive a baby!
3. Blood Flow to Reproductive Organs- Acupuncture directly stimulates the reproductive organs with needling in the area to improve uterine lining, ovarian reserve, and egg quality.
And if you thought acupuncture was just for women, think again! Acupuncture has been shown to improve male fertility through improving semen volume, sperm concentration, motility, and total sperm count. Â
