In this episode of the Well-Adjusted Mama Podcast, Dr. Laura Brayton sits down with Dr. Erin Kumpf, DACM, L.Ac., FABORM, a nationally board-certified and state-licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, and Certified Holden QiGong Teacher, to explore how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can support fertility and reproductive health.
Dr. Kumpf shares how acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and QiGong work together to create balance within the body, optimize fertility, and support individuals throughout their reproductive journey. She explains how these time-tested therapies can improve circulation, regulate the nervous system, support hormonal balance, reduce stress, and help prepare the body for natural conception and pregnancy.
As a Fellow of the Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Board of Reproductive Medicine (FABORM), Dr. Kumpf specializes in women’s health, fertility, reproductive endocrinology, menstrual disorders, pregnancy support, and integrative reproductive care.
