Podcast 5: Female fertility. In this episode I’ll be talking about the affect stress can have on female fertility and how hypnotherapy can help you conceive naturally. There will also be a free audio at the end of this podcast that you can enjoy, keep and come back to time and time again. This will be a two part podcast, in next week’s podcast we will look at the affect of stress on male fertility. Some of the information will cross over but because biologically and physically we are different there will be a different approach with hypnotherapy. If you’re trying for a baby you might have been told to not get stressed which is great advice but what does it actually mean? How do you not get stressed? What is stress? Well stress is actually very beneficial to us short term but if this response isn’t turned off it can cause chronic stress. Human’s are very intelligent beings, so intelligent in fact that we have the ability to create psychological stress. This means that just by thinking about something that we find stressful we can turn on the stress response. Hypnotherapy can be used in many different ways to help improve your fertility, using hypnotherapy to relax deeply on a regular basis has been proven to help to lower stress levels and blood pressure. Reducing your stress levels will help your body function in the feed and breed state which helps you conceive without intervention. Having hypnotherapy techniques you can use on a daily basis to manage daily stresses, along with larger life stresses will keep you in a better hormonal balance which is necessary for optimal fertility.
