The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness improves egg quality, even in women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), through an integrative approach combining acupuncture, customized herbal medicine, and low-level light therapy (LLLT). Acupuncture enhances ovarian blood flow, delivering more oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to developing follicles while helping remove metabolic wastes and inflammatory factors that can impair egg development. Herbal formulations, tailored to individual needs, further support circulation to the ovaries and uterus, nourishing eggs and promoting their health. LLLT, using specific electromagnetic wavelengths (such as 830nm), targets mitochondrial function—the "powerhouses" of cells—rejuvenating and increasing mitochondrial numbers in ovarian cells to boost cellular energy production essential for better egg quality and maturation. This multifaceted strategy has been reported to optimize egg quality and support improved fertility outcomes, including in cases of low ovarian reserve, by addressing underlying physiological factors rather than solely relying on quantity of eggs.
