Testimonials

I am very excited to let you know that I am pregnant!  Thanks so much for the wonderful care you gave me Jeff and congratulations on another successful treatment!

Going to see Jeff Rogers at Acupuncture Wellness is on of the best decisions I have ever made. Jeff was compassionate and understanding.  I began seeing Jeff in March and I was pregnant in July!

My husband an I have been trying to conceive for 3 1/2 years.   My husband had seen a report on ABC World News regarding fertility issues and how acupuncture can help and suggested trying.  After seeing Jeff for Acupuncture and learning how to take my basal temperature our dreams have come true!  We are pregnant!
 

My husband and I had been trying to have a baby for 3 years before we decided to try acupuncture.  A combination of IVF, acupuncture, and rest helped us get pregnant. I know that acupuncture had something to do with this good news!

I have been a client of Jeff Rogers for 3 years now. I first sought out acupuncture because I was having arthritic pain in my knee. Acupuncture helped me significantly to manage the pain as well as enhance the healing after my total knee replacement. Even though my original incentive for acupuncture is gone, I still continue to be treated with acupuncture because of the overall feeling of well being and calm I feel when treated on a regular basis. I highly recommend Jeff Rogers. His is so knowledgeable and  has many years of experience.

Over the last few years, there has been a dietary shift toward consuming more fats. If you are like me and try to follow the latest trends, you may have some questions. I grew up during the time when the thinking was, if you consume too much fat in your diet, it will make you, well, fat. We had skim milk, margarine, low fat this, fat free that. Then came the Atkins diet which went against all the dietary guidelines of the time. Fast forward to 2024, we now embrace the Keto Diet and the Paleo Diet.

If you are making a shift toward one of these diet’s, or just a general cooking oil user, it is important to understand how to store your fats/oils and how to use them. The fats we consume in our diet produces many benefits for the body. They digest slowly, help us to feel full, helps with the absorption of vitamins D, E, A, and K, provides warmth for the body, protects our organs, provides the cholesterol which i the building block of our hormones. But, a diet high in the wrong kinds of fat can lead to tumors, cancer, obesity, heart disease, gall bladder and liver disorders.

There are 4 categories of fats, saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and trans fats. Saturated fats can be found in animal products and a few plant products such as coconuts, peanuts, and palm kernel. These fats are solid at room temperature. Polyunsaturated fats can be found in nuts, seeds, grains, and vegetables. These fats are liquid at room temperature and may start to solidify when chilled. Monounsaturated fats can be found in nuts, seeds, and vegetables and are considered the most stable and best used for cooking. These oils are liquid at room temperature and may solidify when chilled. Trans fats are a type of unsaturated fat and can be lab created to make liquid oils solid like margarine and shortening. This type of fat is extremely unhealthy and can lead to heart disease.

Choosing how you store your oils is very important due to their unique composition of fatty acids, which impacts stability and shelf life. Light, heat, and air exposure can break these oils down causing them to become rancid. Rancid oils taste bad and also contain free radicals which are detrimental to our health. Nut oils, once opened, should be stored in the refrigerator to keep fresh. Olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, and other cooking oils should be stored in a cool dark area.

Some common cooking oils and the temps you should use them are as follows:

Avocado Oil- 520 degrees, best used for grilling, roasting, searing, and stir frying

Canola Oil- 400-475 degrees, good for deep frying and other high heat cooking

Coconut Oil- 350-450 degrees

Corn Oil- 400-450 degrees and good for high heat frying

Olive Oil- 325-375 degrees good for drizzling, low heat sautéing and salad dressings

Refined Sesame Oil- 410 degrees

Men’s reproductive health is an essential yet often overlooked aspect of overall well-being. I’m 52, have children that are 25, 23, and 20 years old. Needless to say, I haven’t had to pay much attention to my reproductive system in a few years. Well that all changed a couple of years ago. I will spare the gory details; but ended up getting a prostate biopsy. If you ever had one, you know it’s no picnic. Modern science needs to develop a better method for screening for prostate cancer. Thankfully the test was negative.

I have been an acupuncturist for 25 years, know the female hormonal and reproductive systems like the back of my hand; but prior to my needing a prostate biopsy, knew very little of there inner workings of my own hormonal system. A healthy reproductive system is not only vital for fertility, but also plays a key role in hormone regulation, energy levels, and mood. One of the most effective ways to support reproductive health is through proper nutrition. Nutrients such as zinc, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for maintaining healthy testosterone levels and sperm production. Zinc, for instance, is a vital component in sperm formation and testosterone synthesis, while selenium acts as an antioxidant protecting sperm from oxidative stress. Incorporating rich in these nutrients, like nuts, seeds, fatty fish, and lean meats, can significantly enhance reproductive function.

In addition to these specific nutrients, overall dietary patterns also matter. A diet high in processed foods, refined sugars, and unhealthy fats can lead to hormonal imbalances and increased oxidative stress, both of which can negatively impact reproductive health. On the other hand, a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats supports not just reproductive health but overall vitality. Regular consumption of antioxidant-rich foods, such as berries and leafy greens, can help protect sperm from damage, while foods high in healthy fats, like avocados and olive oil, support hormone production. By making mindful dietary choices, men can significantly improve their reproductive health, boost their fertility, and enhance their overall quality of life.
