🎯 The Most Overlooked Factor in Fertility? It Might Be Him.
How Acupuncture Supports Both Partners on the Path to Parenthood
🎙️ In this powerful episode, Gabie Peytchev sits down with Aimee Ruiz, Licensed Acupuncturist, Herbalist, and founder of East Bay Acupuncture and Nido Wellness, to talk about something that’s rarely addressed in fertility care - male fertility.
From sperm health to stress and lifestyle, Aimee shares how acupuncture and East Asian medicine offer a deeper, more inclusive approach to reproductive health for all genders.
What you'll learn:
🌿 Why male fertility is half the equation but rarely part of the conversation
🌿 The sperm-killing habits most couples overlook (and how to fix them)
🌿 What acupuncture actually does and how it boosts sperm quality, egg health, and uterine lining
🌿 Why normal semen analysis results might not be telling the full story
🌿 How Aimee blends acupuncture, lifestyle, and herbal medicine to treat the whole person
🌿 What a man can do in the 70–75 day sperm development window to radically improve chances of conception
🌿 How to get your partner on board even if they’re skeptical
💡 Plus: The emotional side of acupuncture: why so many people cry, rest, and heal on the treatment table (and what that says about your nervous system and fertility).
Whether you're TTC solo, with a partner, or supporting someone through it, this episode is your reminder: fertility is a team effort. And both bodies matter.
