Fertile Minds Radio Holistic tips for couples trying to conceive. Fertile Minds Radio is the podcast to help you create Oh, the dreaded personal bio.

I’ll try and be short and too the point, about me, my company, my experience and how it came to be my passion to help women become the best possible versions of themselves physically, mentally and emotionally. My name is Hillary Talbott and I am a state and nationally certified Acupuncturist and Clinical Herbalist. In the state of Florida, I am one of ten, board certified oriental reproductive specialists. What exactly does it mean to be a fellow of ABORM (the American Board of Oriental Medicine) you ask? It means that I have devoted my practice to the treatment of women’s health with an emphasis on reproduction. I have proved myself through rigorous board certification and 50+ continuing education hours per year focused on reproduction and obstetrics care. I have a Bachelor of Science from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) and a Masters of Oriental Medicine and Health Science Education. In 2012 I opened the Art of Acupuncture in St Petersburg, FL and have been serving the fertility community ever since. I have had a personal meditation practice for half of my life and I have been fortunate enough to personally study with Deepak Chopra and davidji. In 2014, I became a certified meditation teacher through the Masters of Wisdom teacher training program with davidji in Carlsbad, Ca- the sweet spot of the Universe. I happily pass on his meditation techniques to anyone that wishes to learn. I find it to be an invaluable tool for not just surviving a fertility journey, but thriving during and as a parent. Thought work has also been fundamental in my growth and the growth of my clients over the years. In 2021 I became certified with the Life Coach School. I love using the model to show clients how their minds are creating their feelings and how much control they do in fact have over their experience of their fertility journey. We incorporate the Model in our Conscious Conceptions Coaching program for couples that wish to use the power of their mind to co-create their fertility realities. In 2017 I began to understand what an immense need there was for education about natural solutions for women’s health issues, that the discussion about the changing face of feminism was necessary if we were going to thrive as a species, and that emotional support was vital for countless women, as infertility became an epidemic. While I certainly couldn’t perform acupuncture through the Internet, it became obvious to me that I could provide education, emotional and spiritual support, a safe place to buy quality and custom herbal solutions, and personal development tools like meditation. I knew in my gut that if I combined modern day technology, with my knowledge, and a business structure based on giving back as taught by Marie Forleo, that I could change the world and Fertile Minds Radio was born!

We’ve been trained not to listen to one another.
Not to believe women.
To defend systems instead of each other.

If we had listened to women historically, there are entire horrors we never would have normalized. (You know what I am talking about and it’s not going to hang itself)

Division is profitable.
Connection is not.
Find your women, because there’s strength in numbers and resistance in community.

When it comes to fertility treatments, it's not just the ladies that can benefit.
Most of us know that acupuncture and bodywork can greatly help improve the lady's odds of falling pregnant, but many people aren't aware of the amazing fertility benefits that are just for the guys.
Cupping is a wonderful way to help improve blood flow to the reproductive organs. This helps to ensure that essential nutrients and oxygen are received by the te**es.
The increased flow can help to improve s***m health.
It can also help with addressing specific issues, like erectile dysfunction and inflammation in the ge***al tract.
And, of course, it's a fantastic way to help reduce stress and anxiety. As we know, high stress levels can interfere with hormone production and overall reproductive health.
You read that right, cupping may contribute to healthier s***m parameters, reduce oxidative stress, and support hormonal stability.
Let me know if you have any questions about how to talk to your partner about TCM fertility assistance. 🙏

The Role of Lung Meridian: The Lungs are linked to emotions like sadness and grief, which, if imbalanced, can affect overall health and, by extension, reproductive health. Lung 7 is used to calm the uterus.

⚠️ Please Note: This point is generally advised to be avoided during pregnancy because it is known to stimulate uterine activity.

Functional Tests for PCOS

✨ 1.Hormone Panel- This includes measuring hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Elevated testosterone and LH levels are often associated with PCOS.

✨ 2.Insulin & Glucose Testing- Assessing insulin resistance and glucose levels is crucial, as many women with PCOS have insulin resistance, which can lead to metabolic issues like Type 2 diabetes

✨ 3.DHEA-S- (Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) is a hormone that can be elevated in PCOS. It's produced by the adrenal glands and can contribute to elevated androgens (male hormones) in women.

✨ 4.Inflammatory Markers- High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and other inflammatory markers may be tested to assess systemic inflammation, which can be associated with PCOS and its complications.

✨ 5.Thyroid Funtion Tests- Hypothyroidism and PCOS can have overlapping symptoms. Thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, T4) can help rule out or identify thyroid issues.

✨ 6. SHBG- S*x Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG): This protein binds to hormones like testosterone and estrogen, affecting their availability. Low SHBG levels can contribute to hormonal imbalances seen in PCOS.

✨ 7.Nutritional Deficiency- Deficiencies in nutrients like vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc, which can impact PCOS and overall health.

✨ 8. Stool Analysis- Gut health is increasingly recognized as influencing hormonal balance. This test can assess gut microbiota, digestion, and inflammation.

✨ 9.Food Sensitivity Testing- Consider testing for food sensitivities, as inflammation triggered by certain foods might exacerbate PCOS symptoms.

Each phase of your cycle offers different insights into your fertility—and proper timing can give you the clearest picture of your hormonal health. Remember, each part of your cycle has its own story to tell.

Proper hormone testing helps uncover the “why” behind fertility challenges and paves the way for personalized treatment.

In clinic, I use both lab work and holistic assessment to support your body’s natural ability to conceive.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, emotions and organs are deeply connected. Through acupuncture, we invite the body to release what it's been holding so balance, flow, and fertility can return.

The body and mind are never separate and our organs always remember what our minds forget. Your body has been carrying so much, maybe it's time to let go.

Acupuncture has been successfully used throughout Asia for thousands of years to boost fertility in both men and women. 
Fertility acupuncture’s key to success is that it effectively addresses and rebalances root causes to infertility like PCOS, endometriosis, and irregular cycles for those with ovaries & a uterus; and s***m count, motility, and morphology for those that produce s***m, which helps to increase the odds of falling pregnant while addressing overall health and wellness. In both sexes acupuncture has been found to be phenomenal at regulating cortisol (stress hormones) to yield normal fertile cycle dynamics.
If you have been told that reducing stress may help your odds, this is exactly how acupuncture can help that happen on a biochemical level. Acupuncture increases blood flow to the ovaries and uterus to support a healthy ovarian follicle and uterine lining. It also decreases inflammation and corrects subtle hormonal imbalances. 

Hillary also offers holistic fertility coaching in or you can schedule an appointment with Hillary, Katie, or Hannah for fertility acupuncture.

Your ovaries are storytellers, not saboteurs.

If you’ve been struggling with infertility, cysts, or irregular cycles, Chinese Medicine views these “symptoms” as messages from your body.

Your wise body is constantly whispering invitations to pause, listen, and realign. And your body is wiser than you think.

We simply have to get reacquainted with her language, that has been systematically destroyed.

Sometimes the “symptom” is about fear and depletion of Jing, your essence, the likely outcome when we burn the candle at both ends.

Sometimes it’s about stagnant creativity, blocked expression, or inherited beliefs that no longer serve you.

Sometimes it’s about nourishment and asking where we give too much, receive too little, or carry unprocessed grief or our own or the collective.

While it always makes sense to focus on the physical symptoms we are experiencing and the physiology of how we got there, sometimes reflections of deeper spiritual, emotional, and energetic disharmonies can hold the key to unlocking our deepest wellness.

If your cycles, hormones, or fertility feel out of balance, there’s a deeper layer worth exploring and your body already holds the map.

I’m happy to guide the way.
