from The Home of Fertility with Liz Walton & Helen Zee · host Liz Walton and Helen Zee
We talk with Dr. Juanita Jolly about how naturopathy and acupuncture support fertility and IVF by improving health foundations while working alongside your fertility specialist. We share practical steps for egg and sperm quality, reducing overwhelm, and building belief and support during a tough journey.• Juanita’s personal path into fertility care through supporting a friend with recurrent miscarriage• When to start naturopathic and acupuncture support for IVF, including the three month window for egg and sperm quality• What a tailored treatment plan can include, from diet changes and supplements to gentle weekly acupuncture• Working as a team with IVF clinics, including safety around herbs and treatment timing• Core lifestyle factors for fertility, including greens, protein, healthy fats, and realistic changes that stick• Endocrine disrupting chemicals and simple swaps to reduce plastic exposure• Male fertility basics, including heat, phone and laptop placement, exercise, weight, and stress• Cellular health testing with bioimpedance analysis to assess muscle mass and body composition• Why more supplements is not always better, plus simplifying to what you actually needIVF can feel like your whole life is measured in appointments, numbers, and waiting. So we sat down with Dr. Juanita Jolly, a naturopath and doctor of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, to talk about what helps when you want support that is grounded, realistic, and truly focused on you as a person, not a protocol. She shares how her fertility work began by helping a close friend through recurrent miscarriage, and how that experience shaped the way she supports patients today. We dig into IVF support and preconception care timing, including why starting about three months before a cycle can be powerful for egg quality and sperm quality. Juanita explains what treatment can look like in practice: individualized nutrition changes, carefully selected fertility supplements, and gentle acupuncture for fertility that many people use to feel calmer and more resourced during treatment. We also talk about why integrated care matters, and how she collaborates with fertility specialists so complementary medicine supports IVF rather than interfering with it. You’ll hear simple lifestyle strategies that don’t require perfection: prioritizing a healthy fertility diet with greens, protein, and healthy fats, reducing alcohol and smoking, and making small changes to lower exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals like plastics. Juanita also brings much needed attention to male fertility, including practical steps around heat, phones and laptops, exercise, and stress. She breaks down cellular health testing through bioimpedance analysis and why body composition and muscle mass can connect to hormones and fertility for both men and women. If you’ve been drowning in advice and supplement stacks, this conversation will help you simplify and focus on what’s most likely to move the needle.
