Can hidden imbalances be the real reason you’re not conceiving? — with Heidi Brockmyre

On The Wellness  Reimagined, host Shreya sits down with Heidi Brockmyre, L.Ac.—creator of the Fertility Activation Method—to unpack how cycle irregularities, stress, and ignored root causes can quietly derail conception. We contrast conventional fertility pathways (drugs/procedures) with East Asian medicine approaches (acupressure, meridians, nervous-system regulation) and discuss practical, at-home routines to improve circulation, hormone balance, and emotional health. 

About the guest:

Heidi Brockmyre, L.Ac. is a licensed practitioner of Chinese medicine and the founder of the Fertility Activation Method. With two decades of clinical and online program experience, she helps women and couples restore reproductive health by addressing root-cause imbalances through daily, at-home practices grounded in East Asian medicine.

Key takeaways:

• Root cause over quick fixes: Heidi argues most fertility struggles reflect systemic imbalance (stress, circulation, endocrine-nervous-system dysregulation) rather than a single “age” variable.

• Daily practice beats occasional sessions: Relying on once-a-week acupuncture is like working out once a week; acupressure and lifestyle routines done daily compound benefits for cycle regularity and hormone balance.

• Stress and the ovaries: Chronic stress can impact ovarian environment and circulation; calming the nervous system may support egg quality and cycle health.

• Heart–womb connection (East Asian lens): Emotions and physiology are intertwined; supporting emotional flow can improve reproductive markers (sleep, digestion, PMS, cramps).

• Before jumping to procedures: A holistic reset (nutrition, stress regulation, targeted acupressure, cycle literacy) can reduce costs and improve outcomes—even if you still choose IVF later.

• Shared responsibility: Male-factor quality (including DNA fragmentation) matters; both partners benefit from nervous-system regulation, nutrient support, and lifestyle upgrades.

• Informed consent, not fear: If choosing meds or IVF, pair with foundations (sleep, minerals, circulation work) and ask data-driven questions about risks, benefits, and alternatives.

• Agency: You’re with your body 24/7; consistent, simple actions give you more leverage than any clinic visit alone.
