Reducing Stress Can Help You Get Pregnant Faster
By John Miley of Miley Labs & Whole Body Fertility
Did you know that stress can hobble your chances of getting pregnant? It can, and most people aren't even aware of it. Here's how it works. Stress, as we think of it today, comes in two shapes and sizes. 1. Episodic stress: this is short-lived and results from a real event that requires our immediate action (such as trauma or injury, for example). 2. Chronic stress: this lingers on with us, well past any real event, and most often is associated with imagined events or projected outcomes that never happen. Even though these projected events rarely occur, we fear they could and this creates chronic stress (anticipating the worst). Both of these stress-types trigger a biochemical response from our bodies, causing them to release stress hormones (such as cortisol) and block other hormonal processes in our bodies. The problem is, most people now experience chronic stress, which means they experience chronically high level of cortisol in their systems. If you have high cortisol, you are more prone to exhausting your adrenal system, and are at risk for insulin resistant type complications (such as pre-diabetes, diabetes or PCOS). This means that stress can affect your efforts to conceive because it dumps chemicals into your system that make getting pregnant more difficult. There is much more to discuss on this topic, which I do in my Whole Body Fertility book. If you don't read the book, it is still good to know that you should work on managing your stress levels if you want to get pregnant faster. Some of the best tricks I know for managing stress relate to breathing exercises acupuncture/acupressure and visualization to balance the mind-body connection. I'll share those ideas soon, or you can read more about them on the Whole Body Fertility site if you are curious about that. That's a wrap for this article--and remember, when in doubt...breathe!
