This week's theme is all about control - a vital aspect when it comes to fertility. You might think our focus should be on habits, (being New Year and all!) but here's why it's different: Fertility is not like your typical goal of losing weight or tackling fitness challenges. It's a unique journey, mostly beyond your control, with most of the work happening internally. So, our emphasis is on what you can CONTROL.
Topics Covered:
Lifestyle Choices & Nutrition: A balanced diet, rich in Folic acid, iron, and omega-3s, is crucial. Avoid inflammatory foods, and if you have PCOS or endometriosis, consider supplements after consulting a nutritionist.
Exercise: Moderate activities are recommended. Avoid high-intensity workouts that could negatively impact fertility. For conditions like PCOS, certain exercises may be beneficial – contact me for personalized advice.
Weight Management: Achieving and maintaining an optimal body fat level is important, as both underweight and overweight conditions can influence fertility.
Stress Management: Incorporate relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga, and deep breathing. Our cooldown sessions are specifically designed to reduce stress hormones.
Medication Adherence: Consistently taking prescribed medications is critical for treatment success.
Communication with Healthcare Team: Open, honest communication about concerns and questions is vital. Be an active participant in your treatment process.
