Kate - Stress and Fertility

Tune in to listen to me talking about stress and how it affects your fertility journey. Take an opportunity to put the kettle on and relax while listening to this episode as I bust some myths about stress.

What I discuss:

  • The research and science behind stress 
  • The ‘flight or fight’ response
  • Short and long time effects on the body
  • Professor Jacky Boivin - Cardiff University and her research on the impact of stress on fertility 
  • How our bodies can adapt to conditions that may not be suitable, for example war stricken countries have some of the highest birth rates
  • How stress impacts all aspects of life
  • Finding support
