![Acupuncture is one of my favourite treatments to improve #fertility outcomes in my patients since it helps make the experience of getting pregnant easier, & more enjoyable. 👶🏻✔️ Acupuncture helps with fertility by stimulating the nervous system via use of tiny needles, which positively changes the hormonal output from the brain to the ovaries and uterus. The mechanisms of action of this ancient medicine have been explored in hundreds of high-quality studies and there is a robust and ever-growing evidence base for it’s use as a supportive fertility treatment. Today #ontheblog I’m reviewing some of the most exciting recent studies on #acupuncture for fertility.

![One of my favourite things we ate in #Portugal (aside from my daily salt cod fritter) was a huge bowl of the freshest clams I’ve ever tasted cooked with garlic, lemon, cilantro and vinho verde (aka Bulhão Pato clams). This is yet another recipe inspired by our visit to @chezesteves flat in Lisbon. He created a similar dish for us and we’ve been obsessed with recreating it at home as often as possible, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

![Morning ☕️ my favourite time of the day. It’s quiet, I get to drink as many coffees as I like, & it’s actually cool enough to turn on the oven and bake something special. This month has been all about my early morning #keto / #paleo scones.
