Fertility isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation. It’s impacted by a mix of factors, including egg quality, sperm health, balance of hormones, and lifestyle factors. But if you’re here, you already know that. We’re here to sift through what actually helps with fertility and what you could be doing at home to move the needle towards your healthy, happy pregnancy. Whether you’re here for acupuncture or lifestyle tips, there are plenty of options that can make a real difference.

Three Concrete (and less commonly known) Fertility Tips, Backed by Research:

---

1. Focus on Mitochondrial Health
Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of your cells, and their health directly impacts egg and sperm quality. Studies suggest that supplements like CoQ10 and PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone) can enhance mitochondrial function, potentially improving fertility outcomes, especially for women in their 30s and 40s. Incorporating these supplements can give your egg and sperm cells the capacity to separate their chromosomes properly and boost quality.

2. Time Your Magnesium Intake
Magnesium is essential for hormone regulation and stress reduction, both of which are critical for fertility. But timing matters. Take magnesium before bed, as it has the unique ability to relaxe the nervous system and improves sleep quality—sleep being a crucial but often overlooked aspect of fertility. Think of all of the systems that have “rhythms” or “clocks” associated witht hem (hormones and sleep being two examples) being intimately connected. The better you sleep, the more regulated your hormones will be.

3. Red Light Therapy for Ovarian Health
Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) is gaining attention for its ability to improve ovarian function. Penetrating the skin deeply, it has shown to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and even boost egg quality. As the top fertility acupuncture studio in San Diego, where fertility treatments and new technology is at the forefront, we provide red light therapy, complimentary with each treatment.

Of course, it goes without saying that: Acupuncture directly increase fertility rates (otherwise we’d be out of a job – check out our testimonials here: )!
