Listen Later

I’m offering you some quick and effective techniques to support your fertility, calm your nervous system, and release stress in a new episode segment called - Fringe Fertility Tips. After talking to many of you about what you desire and need during your fertility journey, you said you'd like more easy tools that improve your overall life and bring you some joy. 

On this episode of Fringe Fertility Tips, I talk about the power of a hug. If the of topic touch is activating to your nervous system - then please check out some of the other great episodes with quick tips - like the fertility clinic stress buster technique (ep 14).

Hugs are an effective way to nourish your fertility and bring some love and joy into life.

But what is the perfect hug and what is happening when we give and receive hugs? 

In this episode I break down the ‘anatomy of a hug’ and how it impacts fertility and why you may want to include more hugs into your day.

  • What is the optimal number of hugs a day

    • What is the optimal length of time for hugs

    • The difference between fast touch and slow touch

    • C-tactile afferents (slow touch nerves) and how they work

    • The effects of slow touch - indirect effects on fertility

      • Lowers cortisol & raises oxytocin and endorphins

      • Decrease anxiety and reactivity to stress

      • Improved sleep

      • Improved immunity

      • Improved overall wellbeing

      • What about petting your animals?

      • My experiment of increased hugging

      • Hugging yourself

      • The energetics of hugging and good hugs vs bad hugs

      • My favorite ‘perfect hug’ restorative yoga posture

      • I hope that you found some tidbits in this episode that will make your life and fertility better. 

        If you do the hug experiment - please let me know how it goes and what effects you felt! I’m always curious to know what other think.
