The First Acupuncturist in the US to Specialize in the Treatment of Infertility. For those of you that know Mike Berkley, you know how lucky we are to have him as a professional colleague in the reproductive health field. This guy does Acupuncture New York style, and has been doing it now for a long time, with razor focus on the treatment of infertility and all its related health conditions. Lots of amazing information packed into this podcast regarding how both modern medicine and Chinese medicine approach infertility, where each is strong, where each is weak, and how they can best work together for the benefit of the patient. As always Mike, I love you and am so happy you accepted the invite to be on the show. ~ Spence

Professional Profile
The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness has been helping those faced with fertility challenges since 1997. In fact, we are the very first complimentary medicine clinic in the United States to be completely devoted to treating infertility cases exclusively. We are all licensed and board certified in acupuncture and board certified in Chinese herbal medicine. We work hand-in-hand with many of New York City's most prominent reproductive medicine centers including but not limited to NYU, The Sher Institute, RMA, New York Cornell, New Hope Fertility and many others.

Interview with Lee Hullender Rubin, DAOM, LAc, FABORM
Lee is clearly a decorated mover and shaker (see CV below). She is playing such a huge role in furthering the understanding of how Chinese medicine as a whole (which includes but is not limited to acupuncture) can help improve IVF success rates. Her research is pioneering and is the first to attempt to capture the true holistic essence and power of Chinese medicine, so that healthcare providers and women struggling to get pregnant can more deeply trust and embrace this wonderful resource. If you haven't done so already, it's time to find yourself a Chinese medicine doctor with experience in reproductive health.
