In episode 78, I interview acupuncturist and women’s health and fertility expert, Aimee Raupp. We dive into how the immune system impacts fertility, particularly with autoimmune processes, and how to heal from immune system dysfunction and optimize overall health to conceive. We pay special attention to how thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and trauma can cause increased inflammation in the body. Inflammation is what really sets the stage for the development or worsening of immune and inflammatory problems that can negatively affect several aspects of fertility – from our hormones, to our egg quality, to our ability to sustain a pregnancy. Throughout the episode, you’ll learn about:
How thoughts and beliefs affect the physical body and why it’s so important to focus our attention here during fertility challenges
Why we need to stay connected and in tune with all aspects of health during this journey, not just our hormones and menstrual cycles
What autoimmunity actually is and some of the symptoms or conditions that might indicate that an autoimmune process has started in your body
Ways we can start to reconnect and change the way we think about and talk to ourselves
How Chinese medicine and acupuncture can support immune system healing, overall health, and fertility
