According to a Harvard research study, levels of stress, depression and anxiety when faced with these struggles are comparable to those found in people diagnosed with life threatening illness.

Research on mindfulness has many proven benefits for fertility patients. It has been shown to reduce the emotional burden of fertility treatment, increase resilience and well being, while decreasing anxiety and depression.

Posted @withregram • @drkatierose 3 Tools to Create a Fertile Mindset ⁣
⁣
First of all, we have to stop telling women who are struggling with infertility to “just relax.” This statement is overused and unhelpful. ⁣
⁣
They may seem simple and cliche, but these 3 tools are scientifically studied ways to keep our minds in the present moment. ⁣
⁣
When we are constantly dwelling on what could have been done differently in the past OR having anxiety about what the future is going to look like, our sympathetic nervous system keeps us in fight or flight mode. ⁣
⁣
When we practice the tools above, they bring us back to the present, which activates our parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest mode) & lowers stress hormones- which makes relaxation possible & improves overall wellbeing.⁣
⁣
⁣
Even though these tools can be super helpful, sometimes expert help is necessary. Which is why on Wednesday, August 19th at 6:30 PST/8:30 CST I’ll be talking live to Caitlin Kirby of @thekirbyjourney_ttc .
Caitlin is an infertility warrior & licensed clinical social worker providing online infertility coaching. Mark you calendars 🥰

Reasons to switch to a natural deodorant

🌹Antiperspirants and chemical-laden deodorants work to clog up pores and don’t allow the body to properly release the sweat necessary to cool down the body and release toxins (why they’re called anti-perspirants). Not to mention that they’re completely unnecessary for preventing body odor.
Luckily for our bodies, sweat isn’t what actually smells; it’s just a mixture of salt and water. What does create that dreaded body odor is when sweat comes into contact with the natural bacteria that lives on our skin. Changing this reaction is easily done with natural deodorant.

🌹Antiperspirants work by closing up the pores to prevent perspiration, but this means that sweat builds up beneath the skin. This can cause bumpy skin and painful irritation. If you have bad razor burns or irritated armpits, definitely consider making the switch!

🌹Because antiperspirants are applied often and on skin near breasts, some reports claim that the chemicals could be absorbed through your skin and cause estrogen-like hormonal effects. Alzheimer’s and Breast Cancer have both been linked to aluminum compounds found in antiperspirants, and some might even contain infertility-causing toxic chemicals.

🌹Note:Your underarms may need several weeks to detox before you experience the full efficacy of a natural/clean deodorant. Why? Because your previous antiperspirant worked by plugging your sweat glands—and once you stop using it, all those toxins and bacteria that have been trapped will come out with your sweat. So, you might experience stronger-than-average body odour during that time. But stick with it—it’s worth it!

What are your favorite natural/clean deodorants?
