Become one of the thousands of women who’ve successfully realized their dreams of motherhood.
Conceive your dream of family
You’ve done everything ‘right’—
Tracked every cycle, braved the shots, endured the wait, and mourned the losses.
And still… you're here, searching for real answers—to not only get pregnant, but to stay pregnant and to bring a healthy baby into your family.
You know the isolation of losses no one talks about, the fatigue of staying hopeful, and the heartbreak of watching others conceive with ease.
You’re too busy for another membership or a long string of appointments. You just want solid, trustworthy guidance on what you can do differently to improve your chances of success—without wasting more time.
Welcome to the Preconception Plan
at Health Youniversity
Your fertility deserves a proven plan rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern science.
Created by board-certified fertility expert Susan Fox, the Preconception Plan blends the time-honored principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine with evidence-based strategies to optimize your body for conception—naturally or alongside medical treatment.
At the heart of the program are The Four Pillars of Fertility, designed to support your whole health and reproductive vitality:
Nutrition – Food is information. You'll learn how to nourish your body with fertility-boosting foods that balance hormones, support egg quality, and reduce inflammation.
Circulation – We focus on targeted blood flow to your ovaries and uterus to enhance implantation potential and reproductive organ health—core to both Chinese Medicine and scientific findings.
Lifestyle – We guide you through practical changes that gently detox your environment, support hormone balance, and strengthen your overall well-being.
Emotional Support – Fertility is more than physical. We offer tools to help you reduce stress, reconnect with your body, and feel truly supported throughout your journey.
This is not just about getting pregnant—it’s about preparing your body to receive and nurture new life in the healthiest,
most sustainable way possible.
Conceiving and carrying a heathy baby to term requires eggs and sperm be healthy.
And since your ovaries and uterus (and sperm!) are a microcosm of your whole health, you can increase your chances of a healthy pregnancy by making fundamental changes today.
Even IVF or egg freezing can only stimulate and retrieve eggs in the state of health they are in.
Improve your whole health and your fertility to improve outcomes.
Improving your fertility, IVF & Egg Freezing outcomes is not just about your diagnosis, labs, stress levels, weight, or the foods you eat.
You can lose weight, create vision boards or recite affirmations...
But if you don’t have…
✨ quality nutrition, hydration and supplementation
✨ movement and circulation to your reproductive organs
✨ low toxic burden
✨balanced emotional mindset
Your egg quality may be compromised.

🌱 Preconception Plan FAQ
➤ When should I start a preconception plan?
Conventional Medicine: This depends on a variety of factors, such as age, an infertility diagnosis, or other reasons such as pending surgery or medical treatment.
TCM-Informed: While this can be done concurrently with an Advanced Reproductive Therapy such as IVF or egg freezing, if at all possible we like to see at least 3 months ahead to give your body time to restore balance, rebuild energy, and improve circulation for reproductive health. This 3-month arc of time correlates with what is called “folliculogenesis”, the time it takes for an egg to move from the primordial pool, where it is pure potential, to the antral follicle phase, which is the month that egg is in a cohort growing to ovulation.
➤ What should be considered as a Preconception Plan?
Conventional Medicine:
- Lab testing (reproductive hormones such as AMH, Estradiol, Progesterone and TSH) and for the male partner, a sperm analysis
- Physical fertility evaluations if needed such as HSG and saline hysterosonogram
TCM-Informed: Review of the above, plus
- Nutrition, hydration, and proper supplementation for your pattern or diagnosis.
- Supplement support specific to one’s pattern or diagnosis
- Circulation and targeted circulation to ovaries and uterus
- Lifestyle routines to support healthy habits for whole health and reproductive health
- Identifying through emotional evaluation which Chinese Medicine Organ System needs support
➤ How do conventional and holistic care work together?
Conventional Medicine: Diagnostic tools assess your fertility status and create data-informed plans.
TCM-Informed: Whole body preparedness to improve physiological, psychological and physical health whether trying to conceive naturally or undergoing Advanced Reproductive Therapies such as IVF or egg freezing
➤ Is a detox safe while preparing for pregnancy?
Conventional Medicine: The tendency is not to recommend detox or nutritional guidelines.
TCM-Informed: We encourage gentle, nourishing detoxification using whole foods such as a wide variety of organic vegetables, hormone-free meat proteins, healthy fats and slow-digesting carbs, such as beans and legumes, alongside specific nutrients that support detoxification and methylation pathways.
➤ What lifestyle or product changes are helpful?
Conventional Medicine: Generally does not address these.
TCM-Informed: Eat whole foods according to the season; avoid eating between meals. Stay well hydrated. Avoid BPA, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances. Replace personal care products with healthier versions. Adopt a wake-sleep pattern for optimal sleep hygiene to support natural daily detoxification, restoration and remodeling of healthy tissue. Eat organic and pesticide-free whole foods.
➤ What if I have PCOS or a history of miscarriage?
Conventional Medicine: May target treatment according to diagnosis
TCM-Informed: We look at which patterns created imbalances that led to the diagnosis or loss, correct using natural medicine and/or acupuncture or acupoint stimulation and restore balance to improve menstrual regularity, and ability to conceive and carry a healthy pregnancy.
➤ What lab tests are recommended?
Conventional Medicine: Reproductive hormones (AMH, FSH, LH, TSH, Estradiol, Progesterone)
Preconception Plan Recommendations: We review these labs as part of your assessment but also add labs that may affect your physiology such as a Complete Thyroid Panel, including Antibodies, Vitamin D, and Iron & Ferritin.
➤ How important is stress in fertility?
Conventional Medicine: Tends not to address stress as affecting fertility.
Preconception Plan Recommendations: We believe that chronic stress affects fertility by interrupting the symphony of hormones from brain to end organ. We include tools like breathwork, movement, and guided visualization using binaural beats to help calm the nervous system and create space for healing.
➤ Should I avoid certain products or foods?
Conventional Medicine: Yes—avoid alcohol, tobacco, excess caffeine, and exposure to toxins like BPA.
Preconception Plan Recommendations: We help you reduce exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals found in plastics, personal care items, and home products. We also suggest whole foods and low-toxin living to support hormone health.
➤ How do I get started?
Conventional Medicine: Schedule a consultation with your IVF clinic
TCM-Informed: Take the Fertility Type Quiz; Schedule a Fertility Assessment Call and learn how the Preconception Plan at Health Youniversity can increase your success.
