Summary

We will learn: How the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine views the connection between the heart and uterus, and why this matters for your fertility journey. The power of conscious creation and how your thoughts and visualizations can influence your reproductive health. Practical techniques to reduce stress and promote the free flow of energy in your body, potentially enhancing your fertility. Have you ever felt like your body has a mind of its own, especially when it comes to fertility? Like no matter how much you plan or hope, your reproductive journey seems to have its own mysterious timeline? Studies have shown that chronic stress can affect everything from our immune system to our hormonal balance. In fact, research published in the journal Human Reproduction found that women with high levels of stress enzymes in their saliva were 29% less likely to get pregnant compared to those with lower levels. What if the key to unlocking our fertility potential lies not just in medical interventions, but in understanding the intricate dance between our mind, body, and spirit? In this episode we’re exploring different perspectives, gaining new insights, and discovering tools you can use on your own unique journey. Our guest is Michelle Oravitz. She is an acupuncturist specializing in fertility health. She hosts "The Wholesome Fertility Podcast," a top-rated podcast where she interviews leading experts and best-selling authors and provides her own fertility wellness tips. During her free time, Michelle enjoys spending time with her family, reading, doing yoga, meditating, and painting.

0:11.0	your reproductive journey just seems to have its own mysterious timeline.
