In this fast-paced modern world, feeling stressed is, unfortunately, an everyday occurrence. But can this ‘everyday stress’ affect your fertility?

The type of stress I are referring to is the chronic, low-grade, relentless stress that is the result of our overly complicated, high-pressure lifestyles. This type of stress is something the adrenal glands were not built to handle very well.

Of the two stress hormones, Cortisol has the biggest impact on fertility.

This week I am covering the impacts of stress on your fertility and how you can combat it to have a healthy pregnancy.

‘The practice of mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now”.

Mindfulness, in theory, is extremely straightforward. Simply put, it’s the practice of being fully present, fully aware, and fully able to engage with one’s current situation or environment.

Why then, does it seem so elusive?

So many of us are accustomed to over-stimulation from the outside world - things directing our attention away from what is happening now. The more time we spend in our heads thinking about things that aren’t happening right in front of us - things that have already happened or have yet to happen - the less time we spend being mindful.

Harvard students investigated the effects of the ‘alpha rhythm’, or rhythmic brain movements which are associated with DISTRACTION. This brain rhythm is thought to decrease activity in the mind which is associated with being distracted and overstimulated. Participants were given an 8-week mindful meditation program that saw their attention-direction improve significantly, leading the researchers to conclude the positive benefits of the mindfulness were responsible.

Chances are you have heard of adrenal fatigue, but you may not be quite sure what it is. Understanding this condition is important however because some experts suggest that 80% of the Western world will be affected by adrenal fatigue at some point in their lives.

The adrenal glands are located above the kidneys and are responsible for secreting more than 50 different hormones that are essential for life. Among these are adrenaline, cortisol, progesterone, and testosterone. Because they regulate so many important hormones, their proper function is critical for many functions essential to life such as producing energy, balancing electrolytes and storing fat.

These glands also help you deal with stress. When you are under stress, the adrenal glands engage many different responses in your body to make it easier for you to handle that stress.

But during periods of intense, prolonged stress or chronic illness, the adrenal glands begin functioning below the level needed to maintain health and well-being in the body. They still function but at less than optimal levels. The result is adrenal fatigue.

Endometriosis is a common condition, affecting 1 in 10 women worldwide. When a girl or woman has endometriosis, the tissue that normally lines the uterus (endometrial tissue), also grows outside of the uterus.  Symptoms can begin as early as the first period.  Endometriosis can be “silent” (not painful, but affecting fertility.)  However, in most cases, endometriosis causes severe pelvic and sexual pain. Learn how to combat the pain, fatigue and hormonal balance with a natural approach in this week's episode.
