🎙️ NEW PODCAST: Understanding Your 3-Phase Fertility Journey

>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSwlvgrtCto

One of the hardest parts of fertility is feeling like you're starting over every month.

A period comes. Hope drops. Another cycle begins.

But you're not actually starting over.

In our newest episode of The Conception Channel, I share one of the most important frameworks we use at Yinstill to help patients understand their fertility journey:

🌱 SHIFT — Do
✨ TRANSFORMATION — Become
❤️ MANIFESTATION — Manifest

The idea is simple: pregnancy isn't the only measure of progress.

Your sleep can change. Your energy can change. Your cycles can change. Your resilience can change. Your relationship with your body can change.

And all of that can be part of moving forward.

You're not starting over every month. You're moving through a process.

Hi, I’m Dr. Marni Ross, ND.

Reproductive health has been a passion of mine since I began practising naturopathic medicine more than 20 years ago. I love supporting women and men through fertility challenges, natural conception, IVF, hormonal imbalances, PCOS, irregular cycles, and other reproductive health concerns.

My goal is to help you better understand your body, address the root causes of imbalance, and feel supported in your health decisions.

I’m grateful to have been part of the Yinstill team for many years and to work alongside practitioners who care so deeply about this journey.

Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find me hiking or biking Vancouver’s trails, reading a good book, or spending time with my family.

Yinstill Fertility Nutrition Counselling 5 Part Video Series: Nourishing Your Fertility Journey

Nutrition can be a powerful part of fertility care, but with so much conflicting information, it can quickly become another source of overwhelm.

In this short 5-part series, discover how Yinstill brings together functional nutrition and Traditional Chinese Medicine to create a more personalized approach to fertility nutrition.

You’ll learn why your individual story matters, how we use TCM to recognize patterns, how we identify the nutritional priorities that may matter most, and how this information comes together in your personalized Nourish Your Roots Report.

The goal isn’t a perfect fertility diet.

It’s clarity, confidence, and sustainable nourishment that supports where you are today.

🌿 FERTILITY NUTRITION COUNSELLING AT YINSTILL 🌿

We’re excited to celebrate Junko and another way she is supporting our Yinstill patients. 💚

Alongside her work in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Junko has completed advanced certification in functional nutrition and is now offering personalized Fertility Nutrition Counselling at Yinstill.

🥗 This is not another fertility diet.

It brings together evidence-informed functional nutrition with the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine to understand the bigger picture:

◉ Your fertility journey
◉ Your cycle + hormones
◉ Your digestion + absorption
◉ Your labs + nutrient status
◉ Your TCM patterns
◉ Your current fertility treatment

Because two people can have the same fertility diagnosis and need completely different nutritional support.

The goal is not to give you 30 more rules to follow.

✨ It’s to figure out what will move the needle most for YOU right now.

Nutrition is one of the Vital Levers we use at Yinstill to help create the conditions for reproductive health, alongside acupuncture, sleep, movement, hydration, breathing, nature, connection, and medical fertility care.

And through Junko’s Nourish Your Roots Report, all of that complexity gets distilled into clear, practical priorities you can actually use.

🌱 Less overwhelm.
🌱 More clarity.
🌱 Sustainable changes.
🌱 Nutrition that works with your body and your fertility journey.

We’re incredibly proud of Junko for continuing to deepen the expertise she brings to our patients. ❤️

Dr. Laura Erwin: A new article in Scientific American came out this week discussing the impact of damaged DNA in s***m on pregnancy loss. It is something that has been explored for some time, but gaining more traction in recent years, to the point that DNA fragmentation testing (more fragmentation = more damage) is now being encouraged in cases of repeat pregnancy loss.

What's clear from research is that this is not an immovable obstacle; rather, there are tremendous benefits from simple lifestyle changes like reducing alcohol, increasing exercise, and taking fertility focused supplements (and, I would add, acupuncture!) to improve the health of the s***m. And of course, that health is not just impacting s***m - it is a whole-body benefit.

This is important in continuing to bring the male factor into the equation when the emphasis on women's health has been the default for so long. To be clear, there is enough stigma when it comes to fertility challenges and this is not meant to place blame. More data helps to ground the conversation and encourage both partners to prioritize health!

New guidelines say testing s***m for DNA damage could help explain recurrent pregnancy losses

NEW PODCAST EPISODE: Sometimes nothing is dramatically “wrong.”

And that can actually be one of the most frustrating places to find yourself when trying to conceive.

You're ovulating. Your tubes are open. His semen analysis looks reassuring. You've done the investigations.

So why isn't pregnancy happening?

I see women arrive at our clinic expecting us to uncover the hidden problem everyone else has missed. Sometimes we do.

But sometimes the better question isn't “What's wrong with me?”

It's “What is my body asking for?”

Better sleep. More movement. Consistent nourishment. Improved circulation. Less physiological stress. Greater attention to the male side. Often, it's not one dramatic intervention but a collection of small things that help an already functioning system work better.

It's not intensity. It's rhythm.

In the latest episode of The Conception Channel, I share a real clinical case that explores exactly this situation—and why age deserves respect, but should never replace hope.

🌿 Expanding Fertility Nutrition Support at Yinstill

We're very happy to celebrate Junko Lodge, one of Yinstill's senior practitioners, who has completed advanced certification in functional nutrition and is bringing this additional expertise into her fertility-focused work with our patients.

Junko's new Fertility Nutrition Counselling service brings together evidence-informed functional nutrition with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine to create something very aligned with how we think about fertility care at Yinstill.

It isn't about finding the "perfect fertility diet."

It's about understanding the person.

Health history. Fertility journey. Cycle patterns. Digestion. Labs. Nutritional status. TCM patterns. Current treatment.

Then asking a much simpler question:

What will move the needle most right now?

Nutrition is one of the Vital Levers we use at Yinstill to help create the conditions for reproductive health. And just like acupuncture, it works best when it's personalized, sustainable, and integrated with the rest of a patient's care.

We're incredibly proud to see Junko continue deepening the knowledge and skills she brings to our patients, and excited to make this additional layer of support available within the Yinstill fertility care ecosystem.
