When we think about getting pregnant, it’s always focused
on the physical body.  But what about the role the mind plays in the body? We forget the tremendous toll that stress, anxiety and depression play upon our nervous system. And we pay a high price for that forgetfulness. 

Women diagnosed with (my least favorite word) “infertility” experience stress, anxiety and depression levels much higher than in the mainstream population. This is cause for concern in itself.  But what
makes things worse, is that those mental states have physical repercussions that negatively impact fertility.  So,
women given this diagnosis are now at a double disadvantage because they’re already struggling, but being labeled “infertile” makes it even harder to
conceive because of the observable impact that diagnosis has on the nervous system.

It’s like a total catch 22. 

Thankfully, there’s a science backed way out of this mess, and I’m going to break it down for you on today’s podcast. 

This is Part One of a three part series where I’m breaking down the 3-pillars behind the BFP's 60% pregnancy rate
in our most recent cohort.
