    Acu-Hypnosis for Fertility: Calming the Mind and Supporting Your Fertility Journey

    The fertility journey can bring so much more than physical challenges. The waiting, uncertainty, endless questions, and emotional ups and downs can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and mentally exhausted. In this episode of the Women's Health & Fertility Podcast, I explore Acu-Hypnosis, an integrative approach that combines the therapeutic relaxation of hypnosis with acupuncture or acupressure to support your emotional well-being throughout your fertility journey. As a fourth-generation Chinese medicine doctor and acupuncturist specializing in fertility and women's health, I believe in caring for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. In this episode, I share how I came to integrate hypnosis into my practice and how this approach can help you cultivate greater calm, emotional resilience, and a deeper connection with yourself during fertility treatment. What Acu-Hypnosis is: How hypnosis is combined with acupuncture during in-person sessions or guided acupressure during virtual appointments. The mind-body connection: Why emotional well-being deserves attention alongside the physical aspects of fertility care. Managing fertility stress and anxiety: Ways to navigate the waiting periods, uncertainty, and emotional demands of fertility treatment. Building emotional resilience: How to make space for difficult feelings while practicing self-compassion and finding a greater sense of groundedness. Creating a relaxation anchor: How a simple gesture, such as placing your hand over your heart or gently touching your fingertips together, can serve as a reminder to pause and reconnect with the present moment. Shifting negative thought patterns: How personalized suggestions and affirmations can help you respond to challenging thoughts with greater kindness and flexibility. What to expect during an Acu-Hypnosis session: How sessions are personalized to support your unique needs and stage of the fertility journey. A guided relaxation practice for your fertility journey Save this episode and return to the practice whenever you need a moment of calm—whether you're navigating the two-week wait, preparing for a fertility appointment, or simply needing some space to reconnect with yourself. If you'd like to explore Acu-Hypnosis as part of your fertility support, reach out to learn more about in-person sessions combining hypnosis and acupuncture or virtual sessions incorporating guided acupressure. You deserve care that supports not only your body, but also your mind and spirit throughout your journey to parenthood.

    Infertility, IVF and Finding Your Fertility Community with Madison Kaesman

    In the first episode of Season 3 of the Women’s Health & Fertility Podcast, Dr. Tina Yang sits down with Madison Kaesman, founder of The Waiting Room, a growing infertility community created to make sure no one has to navigate infertility alone. Madison shares her deeply personal IVF journey, including infertility, pregnancy loss, an ectopic pregnancy, failed embryo transfers, endometriosis, adenomyosis, multiple surgeries, and the emotional challenges that come with navigating fertility treatment. What began with a simple TikTok post asking women in Orange County if they wanted to meet up has grown into a nationwide community with more than 70 chapters—bringing women together for connection, friendship, and support in real life. In This Episode, We Talk About: • The emotional isolation of infertility and why being supported isn't always the same as being understood • How Madison's experience with an ectopic pregnancy and pregnancy loss became the catalyst for creating The Waiting Room • The power of in-person connection and why sometimes what you need isn't another resource—you simply need a friend who gets it • How The Waiting Room creates a space for women at every stage of the fertility journey, from a new infertility diagnosis to IVF, pregnancy loss, failed transfers, and beyond • Why it's important to have a community where you can show up authentically, without expectations • Madison's personal experience with PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and IVF • The importance of finding an endometriosis specialist when exploring treatment options • The difference between excision and ablation for endometriosis, as discussed from Madison's personal experience • The often-overlooked reality of male factor infertility and the need for more support for men and partners • Why fertility is a team effort and how partners can support one another throughout treatment The Waiting Room was created around a simple but powerful idea: you shouldn't have to explain your experience to someone who already understands it. Whether you need to talk, listen, ask questions, grab coffee, go for a walk, or simply sit alongside someone who understands—there should be space for all of it. There is room for you, wherever you are in your journey. Connect With Madison & The Waiting Room: The Waiting Room offers local chapters and community spaces where women navigating infertility can connect and support one another.

    The Fertility Healing Journey: Optimizing Fertility and Conception for a Healthy Pregnancy with Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

    Welcome to a very special milestone episode of The Women's Health & Fertility Podcast! In a beautiful twist, our host Dr. Tina Yang steps out of the interviewer's seat and into the spotlight as our guest to celebrate the upcoming launch of her highly anticipated book, The Fertility Healing Journey: An integrative guide to conception, IVF support, and healthy pregnancy through Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, and natural medicine. Stepping in as guest host is Dr. Yang's close friend, former patient, and wealth management strategic consultant, Candice Carlton. Together, they dive into the crux of Dr. Yang's 25 years of clinical mastery, exploring how to shift from a mindset of "brokenness" to one of deep, conscious co-creation. Whether you are just beginning your path to parenthood or have been navigating the exhausting world of assisted reproductive technology (ART), this conversation serves as the ultimate companion guide to unlocking your innate healing potential. 🎧 Key Takeaways from the Conversation Dismantling the "Broken" Myth & Embracing the Yin: High-achieving women are wired to push harder when facing obstacles, but fertility doesn't respond to the hustle. Dr. Yang breaks down the vital balance of Yin (nourishment, space, and cellular rest) and Yang (doing and pushing), showing how surrendering is actually an active practice of creating space to heal. The 90-Day Blueprint: The exact lifestyle, movement, and anti-inflammatory changes to make early in your journey, including balancing high-intensity "Yang" workouts with grounding "Yin" movement (barre, yoga, Pilates). The 50% Equation: Why sperm health is one of the most reversible, yet frequently overlooked, factors in fertility, and how optimizing male fertility elevates the genetics of your future child. The Heart-Uterus Channel & Spirit Babies: Bridging rigorous lab science with profound Eastern spirituality to reopen the direct meridian link between the heart and the womb after experiencing loss, grief, or failed cycles. 📓 Inside the Book: The Fertility Healing Journey Scheduled for release in mid-June on Amazon and the clinic website, this book is written to feel like a warm, conversational, and highly practical one-on-one session with Dr. Yang. It contains actionable self-care tools, supplement advice, customized anti-inflammatory diet guides, and a heartwarming final chapter filled with real patient success stories and photos to inspire your own path. 📅 Upcoming Launch Events June 29th at 6 PM/PST: Virtual Book Launch Event on Zoom Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84154332599 Mid-July: In-Person Book Signing & Launch Party at Revive Qi Health & Fertility Center.
