Fertility acupuncture explained: "It's working behind the scenes, guiding your body back to homeostasis"

Can acupuncture really help fertility? How does it work with conventional medicine? Does it hurt? And how do you know if it’s actually doing something?

On this episode of Too Much Information, Issy is joined by fertility acupuncturist Kate Jackson, aka The Cheshire Acupuncturist, to unpack one of the most talked-about complementary therapies: acupuncture for fertility.

They explore the ways that acupuncture may support ovulation, sperm health, IVF outcomes, and menstrual health. Plus, Kate breaks down the evidence behind acupuncture, the myth that acupuncture and Western medicine can't work together, and how to find an acupuncturist near you.

This conversation goes beyond the hype to answer the questions many people wonder when trying to conceive.

Expect anecdotes, practical advice, and reassurance for anyone wondering whether acupuncture could play a role in their fertility journey – or what to consider instead.
