Featuring Nicole Lange, LAc | Episode S3E27 of Me, You, & Who?!
What does it mean to truly care for yourself on the fertility journey—not just your body, but your heart, mind, and soul?
In this calming and compassionate episode, host Whitney sits down with Nicole Lange, a licensed acupuncturist and holistic fertility educator, to talk about how blending Eastern and Western approaches can offer a more complete, empowering experience for those navigating egg donation, surrogacy, or any assisted reproduction path.
🌿 Nicole’s Path to Healing
Nicole shares that her journey into acupuncture began with a personal reckoning—fueled by trauma and a deep desire for care that didn’t just treat symptoms but honored her whole self. Her passion for helping others through fertility struggles is rooted in this mission: to offer support that sees the full person, not just their lab results or medical diagnoses.
“I didn’t just want to be a number in a clinic,” she explains. “I wanted to be seen, heard, and supported in every way—and I knew others did too.”
🩺 Bridging Eastern & Western Fertility Care
Nicole offers clear, evidence-based insight into how acupuncture can enhance fertility outcomes. By increasing blood flow to the uterus, regulating hormones, calming the nervous system, and even modulating immune response, acupuncture becomes more than just a wellness practice—it becomes a key support system alongside treatments like IVF, IUI, or egg retrieval.
But she’s quick to clarify: only if it feels right for you. “Holistic care is not one-size-fits-all. The goal is to help you tune in to what your body and mind need—not add more pressure to your journey.”
🧠 Fertility & Mental Health Go Hand in Hand
One of the most powerful themes in this episode is the critical role of mental health during the fertility journey. Whether you’re an intended parent facing years of infertility, a surrogate navigating complex emotions, or a donor giving such a meaningful part of yourself—stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion are real.
Nicole emphasizes slowing down and practicing small, supportive rituals to reclaim control and peace. Acupressure, breathing exercises, mindfulness, and simply setting boundaries around appointments and information overload can help you reconnect with your body—and your “why.”
💡 What Makes This Episode So Powerful
Whether you’re in the midst of treatment or supporting someone you love, Nicole’s message is a gentle reminder that you matter too—not just your outcome, but your experience.
Some of the key takeaways include:
- Acupuncture is scientifically supported and can complement fertility treatments.
- Holistic care is about the whole person—your emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being are just as important as the physical.
- Mental health should be part of every fertility plan, not an afterthought.
- You don’t need to do everything. Start small. Even a few minutes of breathing or pressure point work can make a difference.
- Choose care that sees you, not just your charts.
