This seminar will present a comprehensive approach to treating patients with declining ovarian reserve. In the past, it has been assumed that women with declining ovarian function cannot get pregnant or that they should consider donor eggs. In fact, there are many reversible factors that can cause premature ovarian failure. There are also strategies that can be used to improve ovarian function in women with advanced maternal age. This seminar will cover the causes and treatment strategies for improving ovarian reserve.

• Discussion of etiological factors based on a review of current research.
• Identifying etiological factors in your patients using specialized Chinese Medicine diagnostic procedures.

• Customizing a strategy for improving ovarian function. We will review protocols for identifying the most optimal acupuncture, herbal, nutritional and dietary treatments for your patients.
