From Inflammation to Implantation: A Functional Approach to Fertility with Eli Huang
Manage episode 503036495 series 2941358
Could fertility struggles be your body’s way of asking for deeper healing?
For many couples, difficulties conceiving are the first signal that something more foundational in their health needs attention. In this eye-opening episode, holistic fertility expert Eli Huang shares how true preconception care goes far beyond hormones, drawing from her background in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), functional testing, and emotional healing to uncover the hidden factors behind infertility.
Eli’s journey from reluctant IT professional to passionate practitioner follows in the footsteps of her father’s 40+ year TCM career, creating a powerful lineage of integrative care. Her unique 90-day fertility program blends pulse and tongue diagnosis with modern pathology, personalised supplementation, and mindset work—helping couples address physical, emotional, and spiritual blocks to conception.
She shares why unresolved trauma, digestive dysfunction, sleep issues, and chronic stress can derail fertility, and how even negative beliefs can physiologically suppress reproductive function. Perhaps most striking is her insight into male fertility: around 80% of couples referred to IVF have male factor issues that are often overlooked, and potentially reversible with natural approaches.
Whether you’re actively trying to conceive, supporting patients through fertility challenges, or simply curious about the ripple effects of preconception health, this episode offers profound insights into how whole-person healing paves the way for healthier pregnancies—and generations.
