In today's episode, Cassie discusses acupuncture for fertility with Dr. James Vitale.  Dr. James Vitale D.Ac has had a lifelong passion for health and  fitness, which drew him to the healing arts. After living and studying  in Japan and China for several years, he returned to his home on Long  Island and has been serving the Long Island community for over 20 years.  His extensive knowledge in Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, NAET, Nutrition  and Qigong allows him to offer a more comprehensive approach to health  and wellness.  James travels back to Japan regularly to further his  studies of Acupuncture, Healing and martial arts. James  was inspired to specialize in fertility by personal challenges of  conceiving. Having experienced the pain and despair of a diagnosis and  ultimately the joy of a successful conception and childbirth, he truly  understands what couples are experiencing. It is his mission to help as  many couples as possible overcome the obstacles to parenthood. https://suffolkcountyacupuncture.com/ https://www.facebook.com/SuffolkCountyAcupuncture/ instagram @suffolkcountyacupuncture

Today my guest is Lisa Pineda, creator of Yoga For Fertility.  Lisa offers programs, classes, and personal consultations to enhance the  chances for healthy conception and birth through yoga, breath work, and  meditation. Yoga for Fertility grew from Lisa’s struggles trying  to get pregnant. After trying for over a year, she’d been told she had  only a 10% chance of success even with IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), but refused to accept that because she had gotten pregnant yet miscarried before. After a year of undergoing fertility tests, medications and stress, Lisa got pregnant. Today, she is the proud  mother of a young son, Eli. Lisa is also the host of The Dismantling You podcast, a two-time TEDx speaker, a yoga and meditation coach, the executive  producer of the documentary "The Yogi,” a global retreat Leader, and a  yoga and meditation guide on InsightTimer.​ Check out Lisa at her website LisaPinedaYoga.com and you can purchase a copy of her new book Finally F*cking Fertile here.
