How does Mira help with cycle tracking?
Healing Duo Integrative Family Medical Practice partners with Mira, a cutting-edge fertility tracking system that uses advanced hormone analysis to provide precise, real-time insights into ovulation and menstrual cycles. Unlike traditional ovulation kits, Mira measures multiple hormones—including LH, estrogen, and progesterone—offering a more complete and accurate picture of fertility patterns.
This data allows our providers to tailor treatment plans, identify fertile windows with precision, and guide patients through every stage of their fertility journey with clarity and confidence.

Based on the findings, your provider will develop a customized plan that may include:
- Personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations
- Herbal and nutritional supplements to support reproductive function

Acupuncture for Fertility Support
Acupuncture is a gentle, time-tested therapy that supports fertility by promoting hormonal balance, improving blood flow, and reducing stress. At Healing Duo Integrative Family Medical Practice, our naturopathic physicians incorporate acupuncture as part of a comprehensive fertility plan to enhance reproductive health for both women and men.
How Acupuncture Supports Fertility
Acupuncture involves the strategic placement of fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body to regulate energy flow (Qi) and improve physiological function. For fertility, acupuncture works by:
- Balancing Hormones: Helps regulate the menstrual cycle and optimize ovulation by influencing the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis.
- Improving Sperm Health: For male fertility, acupuncture may enhance sperm count, motility, and morphology.
- Supporting IVF and IUI Treatments: Improves success rates of assisted reproductive technologies by supporting embryo implantation and reducing side effects from fertility medications.
- Reducing Stress: Lowers cortisol levels, promoting relaxation and emotional well-being, which can positively affect conception outcomes.
- Enhancing Blood Flow: Increases circulation to the ovaries and uterus, improving the uterine lining and overall reproductive environment.
What to Expect During an Acupuncture for Fertility Session
Your session begins with a detailed assessment of your reproductive health, menstrual cycle, and overall wellness. The treatment is tailored to your specific fertility goals, and most patients find it deeply relaxing. Sessions typically last 30–45 minutes, and a series of treatments over several weeks may be recommended for best results.
Integrative Fertility Care
Our providers may combine acupuncture with other natural fertility therapies—such as hormonal testing, nutrition optimization, and Mira cycle tracking—to create a personalized, integrative fertility plan. This comprehensive approach helps support natural conception and prepares the body for a healthy pregnancy.
