Where To Start When Improving Fertility Health
The decision to start a family is an exciting time for any couple, and for some, may come more naturally than others. Fertility health and causative factors for infertility are crucial in bringing this dream to life, and for this reason, we are firm believers that prevention is better than a cure. However, this isn’t realistic for every couple or individual, and therefore we use scientifically supported treatment protocols to improve fertility outcomes for our patients, no matter what stage they are at with their fertility or IVF journey.
To start, it’s important to understand fertility or the capacity to conceive a child is related to both the male and female’s DNA and naturally, affects both men and women in equal proportions. Fertility may be affected by many things from overall health, lifestyle, diet and genetic factors. Every couple trying to fall pregnant wants to do what they can to:
- Fall Pregnant
- Stay Pregnant
- Give Birth To A Healthy Baby
With this in mind, to achieve all of the above, it’s imperative that one of the things we do is focus on enhancing the overall health of the mother and father-to-be in the lead-up to pregnancy. It’s at this early stage when a proactive approach to health is most powerful.
It’s understood that the health of the mother and father is directly related to the health of the baby. We also know that research shows eggs and sperm, the DNA contributions from the mother and father, are vulnerable to the effects of toxins, stress and nutritional deficiencies in the 3-4 months leading up to conception. For this reason, it’s important to allow time to assess the overall state of health of both mother and father-to-be in order to identify any health and lifestyle issues that may impact your fertility, pregnancy and health of your future baby. Proactively focusing on the health of both parents in the lead-up to conception, allows the opportunity to detoxify body, regulate hormones and improve overall lifestyle to best support optimal conception.
Who Is Natural Fertility Enhancement For?
Scientific research supports natural fertility enhancement for both partners prior to conception. Natural fertility enhancement is appropriate for couples trying to fall pregnant at all ages and states of health, including:
- Healthy, fertile couples who want to do everything that they can to give their future baby the best possible start to life
- Couples struggling with infertility relating to both males and females, including “unexplained infertility”, problems with sperm count, sperm motility, ovulation problems, menstrual cycle irregularities or length issues, and conditions such as endometriosis and PCOS as well as other hormonal imbalance issues.
- Couples who have suffered a miscarriage
- Couples undergoing IVF and other Assisted Reproductive Technologies to improve the success rate of these procedures by including natural fertility enhancement.
- Older couples, including women over 40 years to enhance the fertilisation of eggs
Natural fertility enhancement not only means enhancing your health and the health of your future child, but it’s also a massive opportunity to dive deep and address ongoing and developing health complaints that you would otherwise let slide. Think of this as an opportunity to prioritise your health and happiness, which is great preparation for parenthood ahead and setting up a balanced family lifestyle.
Getting started with Natural Fertility Enhancement
Given that fertility is as much related to males as it is to females, your natural fertility practitioner will need to see both partners where possible in order to fully assess the health of each parent-to-be and set out a treatment plan.
On arrival at your initial appointment, you will be asked to fill out forms that will help to identify your overall state of health, medical history, family history, concerns and goals. Then within your assessment, your practitioner will address your main health concern, diagnose the cause of the problem and set out a treatment plan before getting started with treatment in order to maximise fertility outcomes for you and your partner.
Some things we see commonly associated with fertility issues for both males and females are:
- Lifestyle and stress levels
- Age factors (especially for women over 35)
- Sperm health including sperm count and mobility
- Premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction
- PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome (better known as PCOS)
- Endometriosis and Uterine Fibroids
- Cycle length irregularities or absent periods
- Ovulation disorders and fallopian tube blockages
- Other gynaecological issues
What does Natural Fertility Enhancement Involve?
Our treatment for naturally enhancing fertility is entirely based on the needs of the individual and or couple. This always varies from what we can assess to be the underlying cause of infertility but also based on what we believe will get you the best results.
Our forms of treatment support individuals at all stages of their fertility & IVF journey. These treatments may be in the form of Acupuncture, Massage, Herbal Medicine and Mineral Supplementation.
As we’ve said, our approach to treatment is to improve overall health naturally to then in turn positively impact fertility health. For females specifically, our treatment can have an effect to:
- Regulate hormones
- Reduce stress
- Improve follicle development and endometrial lining
And for males, our treatment can also have the effect to:
- Regulate hormones
- Reduce stress
- Improve overall sperm health, sperm count and mobility
No matter the cause of your infertility, a part of naturally enhancing fertility is understanding how your overall state of health has a direct link to fertility outcomes. For those individuals and couples going through IVF, our approach is similar.
The Powerful Combination Of Acupuncture & IVF
Every couple is different and we certainly appreciate that IVF can be an attractive and effective means to achieve pregnancy. We are here to support you through each step of the IVF journey, using scientifically supported treatment protocols to improve the outcomes of IVF.
Because of how long it takes for sperm and eggs to develop, it is recommended that couples come in at least 3 months prior to embryo transfer. Scientific evidence shows that when it comes to Acupuncture and IVF, consistent courses of acupuncture, at least 13-15 sessions were twice as likely to improve outcomes of IVF.
It’s for this reason, that we stress consistency to our patients. However, if you are already part way through this process, this does not mean this door is closed completely – we can still help, this is simply a recommendation by health care professionals to help couples achieve an ideal outcome.
Acupuncture is the most common form of treatment we use in supporting infertility and those going through IVF. We love this form of treatment as we know its highly effective in:
- Regulating hormones
- Reducing stress
- Improving follicle development
- Thickening endometrial lining
- Minimising side effects of medications associated with IVF
- Enhance fertility outcomes with or without IVF
- Improve sperm count and motility
- Improving the couple’s ability to perform intercourse

Dr Andrew has been amazing in treating me. I had some issues conceiving and it was great experience to get treated at Evolution Medical Care. Followed by a detailed consultation, I started my sessions. I definitely experienced a calm and relaxed feeling in my overall body. One year later and I am writing this post with my baby in my lap 🙂
Evolution have been an amazing discovery and have truly changed my wellbeing and quality of life in only a small space of time. Dr Kent is patient, understanding and knowledgeable and the clinic is welcoming, calm and a safe space for those needing help or understanding of their conditions. I have already reccomended them to friends and family!
Donna is fantastic! She has taken the time to listen and understand what I am hoping to achieve and I have a clear understanding what our plan is. All the staff are friendly and accomodating plus everything is always clean and tidy, highly recommend!
I have been coming here for years because their service is fantastic. Im in my early 50’s and have a very physical job and each time im feeling sore i always feel so much better after a session.
Incredible, the staff are amazing. Very accomodating, empathic and knowledgeable.
I would recommend anyone to go to this centre for their medical conditions both physical and mental. Not only are the practioners and staff absolutely lovely, the treatment and care provided is beyond what I have received elsewhere. Not only have I observed improvement in my physical conditions but also mental health.
Works great! Deffiently worth trying out! Always relaxes you and helps with pains, I highly recommend this place!
Andrew and his team are so lovely and ALWAYS so welcoming. Andrew has proven time and time again of how intelligent he is when it comes to the body and finding all the places you didn’t even know existed that were worn out, over worked and tired. Thanks Andrew for always being so calm and kind while providing the best service to your clients.
I have taken 4 to 5 Accupuncture sessions so far with Dr, Andrews and the results have been execellent. If you are looking for someone who hears you patiently, deep dive into the root cause, and charts out right remediation, then this is the centre to go for!
Injured both rotator cuffs. Been getting acupuncture here for 2 months has been a massive help in the recovery process.
Evolution Medical Care is second to none. As soon as I walk in the door I feel an inner peace. You are then met by the loveliest reception ladies. It's so nice to find people who know the art of customer service. The girls/ladies are always happy and smiling a true reflection of being happy at their workplace. I have chronic bursitis which impacts my range on movement, after my visit with Andrew my pain is always reduced or disappears and I can move my arm again. The team at Evolution Medical Care are very knowledgeable and professional. Congratulations to the team you have found not only a client but a fan!!!!!
highly recommend this business, I have been a loyal customer for many many years All the staff are great people who really look after you.
I will start this review by saying I judge my healthcare practitioners HARSH. I have been stung many times by gaslighting, ignorance, and sometimes plain creepiness, so I am super picky about the medical providers I use and very honest. I have a pretty complicated case with my back trauma, auto-immune diseases, and genetic disposition. Adding pregnancy to the mix means I am in desperate need of relief with my chronic pain and not many avenues I can take. I have been to Dr Andrew's team twice now, and have adored my experiences there. My first appointment was for acupuncture and cupping with Dr Adam, and my second was a remedial massage and acupuncture with Dr Andrew. Both visits were respectful, calming, and went at a great pace. Andrew's massage appointment had me walking out of the centre with a completely different gait. The environment of the practice is also very peaceful and modern. I met Dr David too as he was playing receptionist for my first appointment and he was lovely. My next appointment will be with Dr Kent and I have no doubt it will also be a great experience. Worth every penny, and they deserve their great reputation with their Google reviews! Looking forward to seeing some results now as I do more acupuncture sessions.
I started my treatment 3 months ago for my Meniscal tear and Arthritis in both knees.. I have been in state where I am managing my life without any pain medications. Deng is really good therapist... Alternative therapy works...
The team at Evolution Medical Care are absolutely amazing. From the moment you enter the building they are welcoming. I am currently going through IVF and I was pleasantly surprised at how knowledgeable they are and they have helped me through every step. I know I am in good hands. Highly recommend!
Staff are all really lovely and welcoming. The treatment has been so beneficial, highly recommend!! ₊˚⊹♡
Let me start by firstly saying, “Thank you” to Dr. David VO for his service. I came in with severe back ache. I did unaided squats at the gym and caused a back injury. I got severe inflammation of back muscles and other disc related pain. I could not even sleep in peace. I work in film industry for a living and could not continue work. Holding an 8kilo camera was impossible due to pain. I was looking for help to fix my pain and strengthen my back. After meeting Dr. David VO, I was convinced that my back needed acupuncture and some simple everyday exercises which will strengthen it and also stop further re occurrences. I stuck to the routine of getting acupuncture twice a week and simple morning exercises that were prescribed by the professional. In two weeks I saw amazing results. In four weeks, I was filming without pain and in eight weeks, I am back in the gym. Once again, thank you for your accurate prognosis, treatment and exercise advice.
Was sceptical the acupuncture would be of much help at first but it has helped tremendously! The doctor (Andrew) who looks after me and the ladies at reception are so friendly and pleasant, they make the experience most rewarding and worthwhile. I can recommend this practice to anyone interested in excellent care.
The staff are lovely and make you feel right at home. The premises are clean and inviting with relaxing music playing. I have used both acupuncture and cupping and found the benefits of both.
Absolute professionalism. And a team who actually cares about you and your results.
Great service and good people. Always friendly and on point for the treatment required.
I'd thoroughly recommend it. I'm scared of needles but honestly, the acupuncture is fine. In fact, it's actually a very relaxing experience and I've had beneficial results. It's treated the severe tension in my back and hips which I've had for a long time. I've never tried acupuncture before and thought I'd give it a go. So glad I did. Thank you!
I chose Evolution Medical to help me with inflammation as I have an autoimmune issue & im happy my acupuncture treatment is working. Everyone is very nice professional & not judgey they make you feel comfortable.
After having lower back pain for 3 months with nothing seeming to work, i called and made an appointment. After the first appointment i started to feel alot better and after 3-4 sessions i was completely pain free again. Donna and the team are very welcoming and experienced when it comes to treatment. Highly recommend going here you wont be disappointed.
Truly enjoy my 5 star experience at Evolution Medical Care. From the lovely ladies at reception ready to assist and answer all my questions, to the team of Dr Andrew and Dr Adam's acupuncture treatment. For the first time in a number of years, my concerns re: my back injury and joint pain has been alleviated by expert treatment plan and care when administered. Andrew is knowledgeable and the care he takes to listen and treat accordingly is truly a gift. I am operating mostly pain free since joining and it's the highlight of my week! Thank you team, I appreciate y'all
Andrew and team are brilliant. Came in with a few concerns and treatment has helped massively. Highly recommend.
Only had a few sessions for a long time back complaint and the results so far are promising.
They are the best, amazing, wonderful. I feel better every time after the session. I am so impressed how they are super nice and caring . They listen and try their best to help. ❤️❤️❤️. Highly recommend 💪🏻👍
I have been having acupuncture treatments for a few weeks now and have been loving how it makes my body feel. Andrew is very knowledgeable about any concerns I may have. Today I started the treatment with a headache and left with no headache it was honestly the best treatment.
After experiencing back pain for some month I have found acupuncture has relieved my symptoms greatly. High recommend Dr Andrew.
I strongly recommend the team at Evolution Medical Care. I have had surgery on my neck and after surgery I really wasn’t progressing through recovery, that was until I Met Andrew and the team. I can honestly say my pain my mobility has extremely approved. Not only that my well being and over all health. If your looking for regular treatment or may just need some help to get moving again look no further then Evolution Medical Care. I only wish I found these guys earlier.
Donna is very good. She is great to talk to and is helping me with my health. Luke
This is the first time I have tried Evolution Medical Care and have been really impressed with the individualized treatment and care of the team. Kent has been really attentive and thorough with the information and explanations he's shared and it's great to be seeing progress with the treatments and have a clear direction. Would definitely recommend.
When I came in I could hardly walk from pain through my legs and feet. I was diagnosed and had treatment for 6 weeks and now completely pain free again!!
Amazing experience! Acupuncture by Andrew and Donna is always so relaxing and peaceful! Huge results have been seen already 🙂
I was recommended Evolution Medical Care by a friend after searching for someone who understood acupuncture as a part of holistic treatment. I can honestly say that the professionalism and care shown the minute you walk through the door is beyond my expectation. I've only just started my journey to healing but so far I'm definitely seeing positive signs that its working.
Extremely relaxing atmosphere with very friendly staff. Treatments have proven to be highly beneficial.
I come here for treatment of bilateral hip bursitis and lower back pain . The whole team here is fantastic . I see Dr David for cupping and acupuncture. He is absolutely fantastic . He listens and uses evidence based practise to kick start you on your recovery journey . I am improving slowly but so grateful to this fantastic team . Do yourself a favour and visit . You wont be disappointed.
Dr Andrew and his team are amazing… I had an issue at my last visit and he rectified the problem by the time my next appointment came around.. Very warm and caring and I felt so much better leaving there today ..Highly recommend!!
Staff are very professional and caring. Evolution Health care's services are of a high standard.
Boys are great love seeing them, so friendly and professional, always feel relaxed.
Kent is wonderful, very caring & very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend Kent.
Amazing friendly beautiful people who are genuinely kind and non judgemental and the treatments have really helped with my ailments....highly recommended 🙂🥰
