Stress impacts hormones. The body will convert progesterone (the hormone needed to sustain a pregnancy and prevent miscarriage) and other sex hormones into cortisol during stress. This protective measure is not ideal to make a baby and mimics a famine. The result is the body switches to a stress mode, and impacts hormonal balance and the ability to conceive. The first step to healing fertility and improving health is getting out of a stress mode and back to your vital health through mindset and movement.
