Fertility Optimization

So before we talk specifically just about fertility, I'm going to give you a new map with which that you can use as a resource.

It's one of the most useful frameworks in all of East Asian medicine.

And once I share with you, you will see your health choices differently forevermore.

So within this system, you have two different kinds of chi.

And we use the word energy for chi because we don't have a word that actually defines chi in English.

But you have two different kinds.

And East Asian medicine describes these two sources of energy.

And these include your physical energy, your emotional energy, and your spiritual energy, because those are the three components of a whole human being.

In East Asian medicine, we refer to these as our holy trinity of mind, body, and spirit.

And these energies together fuel your entire life.

So the first, prenatal energy, this is your inheritance.

It's the energy you were born with.

It came from your parents' health when you were conceived, from your mother's health when you were in utero, and the environment you were raised in until about the age of seven.

For men, it's about the age of eight.

Your prenatal qi also comes from the generations before your parents.

So you get a whole load of information.

Prenatal qi in East Asian medicine lives in the way we perceive your kidneys.

So you can think of your prenatal energy like a savings account that you opened at birth.

And this energy is special because it's finite, totally irreplaceable.

And it's meant to be utilized only for truly essential work of being human.

which is growing, developing, reproducing, and aging with resilience.

Prenatal qi includes your genetics, but it's so much more than just genetics.

And you didn't earn it, and you can't make more of it.

And your only job with prenatal energy is to protect it.

Because when it's used up, it means we're all at the end of our life.
