Robert Koagedal
Scottsdale, Arizona

Robert Koagedal is a Licensed and board certified Acupuncturist at both his private practice AcuHealth ( 21 years in Scottsdale) and also was appointed the Director of Acupuncture for Honor Health in 2023. His private practice emphasizes women’s health from menstrual disorders, infertility and pregnancy. Robert helps those going through the process of Assisted Reproductive Technologies to improve IVF success rates. His protocol includes acupuncture, nutrition and specific lifestyle recommendations including mindfulness, mediation and deep relaxation exercises. The use of Chinese Medicine and acupuncture is to improve the function of the ovaries to produce better quality eggs, regulate hormones to produce a larger number of follicles, increase blood flow to the uterus and thickness of the uterine lining, prevent uterine contractions, strengthen and regulate the immune system, and decrease the chance of miscarriage. We hear time and again that one of the greatest benefits of acupuncture at our office and on the day of transfer is that it helps so much to improve relaxation and decrease stress.

Mental Wellness

Mental wellness can have a significant impact on pregnancy and childbirth outcomes. When parents have the tools to process life’s ups and downs in a healthy way, they create a strong foundation for a healthy pregnancy and they are likely to pass these tools on to their child, sharing the benefits of mental health with the next generation.
