The stress is high when things aren't quite panning out as we'd expected. Not to mention the hormonal roller coaster can be enough to make you feel insane. The physiological aspect is a real thing. One might say we are somewhat ruled by our hormones. And when you start tinkering with them using fertility medications, our brain chemistry can become a bit unstable. The build-up of excess estrogen can take a massive toll on our mental and physical well-being. For example - estrogen patches or oral medications can make us feel irritable, short-fused fused and easily overwhelmed. Progesterone could make you feel lazy while oral meds like clomid can cause insomnia - and the list goes on.
Dietary and lifestyle changes can have a tremendous impact on your body's ability to deal the hormonal and emotional roller coaster. Cleaning up your daily habits by incorporating something like the elimination diet, increasing your movement and prioritizing sunlight can not only increase your odds of success but help you keep your sanity along the way. Herbs and supplements are also indispensable when the going gets tough. In this session, we will go over some of my faves that treat fertility and mental health simultaneously.
From an Eastern perspective, weekly acupuncture is an incredible tool that aids in stress reduction and ups your odds. And don’t forget about the power of mindfulness. Meditate and fill your psyche with positive affirmations and stories that lift your spirit. We can handle so much more when we steer our focus towards the things that bring light.
Tune into today’s session to get all the tips and tricks on how to survive and thrive amidst your fertility journey.
