Jennifer AshbyGUEST
And I have this, I'm going to just say, I have a little bit of a superhero power where I can take the concepts, theories, notions, and principles of East Asian medicine, and I can put them into Western terms without bastardizing the medicine or somehow diluting the message.

Jennifer AshbyGUEST
Like, I imagine that I have that like 90 seconds in an elevator with everyone.

Jennifer AshbyGUEST
And when you when you fold too much of that in, people just glaze over because they're very deep concepts.

Jennifer AshbyGUEST
Why would they? So I started figuring out ways of using the same concepts with different terminology.

Jennifer AshbyGUEST
27 years, what's changed for you? 27 years, I will say I feel almost sorry sometimes for people getting in the industry now, 'cause they have so much to learn.

Jennifer AshbyGUEST
Like, I left my job after 25 years to, like, start selling for myself- Right ... and building my own book of merchants for myself, um, which was a very hard decision to make after 25 years at the same place.

When you decided to go independent, was there a particular event or something that happened that was kind of the, the cutoff point for you to make that move?

Jennifer AshbyGUEST
So today I wanna talk about fertility and its preservation according to East Asian medicine.

Jennifer AshbyGUEST
So fertility for us is based on four notions, the notion of your resources, your body's rhythm, your body's balance, and the fact that your body actually has an energy economy, which is a concept I'm gonna introduce to you today.

Jennifer AshbyGUEST
In East Asian medicine, we look at fertility through these lenses, the resources, rhythm, balance, and energy.

Jennifer AshbyGUEST
We ask, "Does this person have enough stored energy to support conception?" Is your body's timing regular and coordinated? Is your nervous system calm enough to signal that it's safe to reproduce? So tonight we're gonna talk, uh, I'm gonna walk you through the in- East Asian medicine model of fertility, including this foundational energy framework, a new concept of eight things that you can use every day for the rest of your life, not just in terms of your reproductive years.

Jennifer AshbyGUEST
And I-- And then tonight we're gonna le-- I'm going to leave you with a practical, simple daily routine that you can start tonight or tomorrow.

So I think it's important to know that in the state of California, we are all pre-med before we start our master's in acupuncture school.
