We’re digging into how and why addressing stress with the HeartMath methodology can help when TTC.
Like many of you, I stopped setting new year’s resolutions and instead focus on intentions.
Daily practices are so foundational for my sanity. Such as having a good sleep, getting outside once a day, eating food that makes me feel great and talking to friends or family members.
But what happens when we still feel stressed? Because life is busy and stress IS part of the equation.
I know I’m stressed when I get too serious, am easily angered or feel super impatient.
I know you want to have your baby in 2023. That’s why you’re reading this right now.
What if all that stress you were dealing with was impacting your chances? And no, I’m not going to tell you just to relax.
But what if there was a quick and easy method you could use each day that helps to move you from producing cortisol to producing DHEA?
Samantha Coffin and Fatima Shaikh are part of my team at Fab Fertile. They are an integral part of our Couples Coaching program – which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception. If you are struggling with infertility, your body is desperately trying to tell you something. Focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or, if you do need to go to the fertility clinic, it will improve your chances of success. Samm and Fatima are fertility coaches.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- How HeartMath can improve your stress response, which directly impacts cortisol and improves DHEA
- Case studies with HeartMath at fertility clinics (i.e. how the HeartMath method helped participants feel more centered and calm)
- Depletion to Renewal Plan - how emotions impact cortisol/DHEA and quick techniques that can help you move from frustration and impatience to calm, peaceful and happy
