Fertility Acupuncture and Weight Loss

At Fertility Acupuncture South Yarra we know how difficult it can be to shift those few extra pounds that are weighing you down and we have designed fertility acupuncture to help you reach your weight loss goals and improve your fertility. Busy lifestyles get in the way of us reaching our goals and after a hard days work sometimes we just don’t have the energy to prepare a meal as well.

The problem is that all of the take away and unhealthy food that we eats takes its toll and there needs to be a point where we say enough and take control to reclaim our health. When you are trying to conceive is a perfect time to stop and make some healthy changes that will last you for the rest of your life.

Excess Weight Affects Fertility

If you are carrying some extra kilos then it could be reducing your fertility and your partners as well. With women it can upset ovulation and for men their sperm count can be lowered as much as 50% depending on the amount of extra weight they are hauling around with them.

Experts say that losing 5 to 10% of your body weight can increase fertility for conception both naturally and with IVF protocols, being overweight may also increase the chances of miscarriage once you are pregnant. Remember a healthier you means a healthier baby.

How does Acupuncture help Weight Loss?

Acupuncture facilitates weight loss in 2 main ways:

Reducing appetite: on the body there a energy points that reduce your appetite when they are stimulated with acupuncture needles. How they work is that they improve the tone of the muscles in the stomach so that you feel fuller quicker.

Increase metabolism: acupuncture also can stimulate other points on the body so that your body will actually increase its metabolism.
