While there are textbook medical approaches for dealing with fertility issues, the last 20 years has seen a rise in wellness approaches to health and well-being, utilizing different types of ancient, tried-and-true practices.

Acupuncture is one of those treatments, along with diet and exercise, herbal medicine, massage, yoga, and reproductive psychology. Holistic in nature, these practices offer an alternative to western medicines, and nowadays often work in conjunction with western medical practices.

With that in mind, the 2009 San Diego Fertility Expo is happening Saturday October 10th at the International House at the Great Hall at UCSD, supported by Reproductive Wellness, a local fertility acupuncture and integrative medicine fertility clinic. While the event is completely free, it's also a fundraiser for the non-profit organization RESOLVE, so donations are encouraged and welcomed.

The San Diego Fertility Expo features leading fertility specialists with plenty of information about fertility and reproductive health, as well as lectures on fertility yoga, acupunture, and reproductive endocrinology, and features speaker Marc Sklar, the Clinic Director and Co-Founder of Reproductive Wellness, and this week's guest on Living Better In San Diego.

A Doctor of Acupuncture, a Licensed Acupuncturist, and a fellow with the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine, Marc Sklar discusses the identification and holistic, tried-and-true treatments of fertility-related issues. You can get more information on Reproductive Wellness and the San Diego Fertility Expo by calling Reproductive Wellness at (619) 4-HEALTH, or (619) 443-2584.
