Hey Friend! We are continuing with the healthy hormones series today to address a VERY important aspect of hormones and that is - fertility.   According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 6 people are affected by infertility worldwide.   It's estimated that 48.5 million couples experience infertility globally.   9% of men and 10% of women aged 15-44 reported fertility issues in the United States   9 of 10 counties with the highest total fertility rate are in Africa followed by Afghanistan.   Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Eastern Asia have the lowest fertility rates in the world with an average of 1.5 children per woman.   I know we've got a few listeners in Sweden, you'll have to tell me what you all are doing there because you have one of the highest fertility rates in all of Europe.   I found it interesting, as today's guest will touch on, that 60% of infertle individuals reported having higher levels of anxiety and depression   41% of infertile women have depression   87% of infertile women have anxiety   Growing your family is a big deal and a major desire for many. My mom had 3 miscarriages, one before me, one after, and one after my sister. Hearing her story and those of many others has really left a mark on my heart.   I also know first hand that the journey of trying to conceive can come with many emotions. It can be a very emotionally draining, discouraging, and even painful journey.   My hope is that after today's episode you would feel seen, be encouraged, and find hope for what's possible for your health and In growing your family.   Blessings & Hope, Robin *** Tori Black is an RN and Fertility Coach specializing in holistic fertility support.
