What most women specifically are not doing is building enough skeletal muscle.
And when we think about it, skeletal muscle, so these big muscles in your body, are metabolically active.
So when you activate your skeletal muscle, glucose can enter the muscle, go into the cell without needing insulin, and you can lower blood glucose levels.
It makes your cells what we call more insulin sensitive, meaning will respond to lower insulin levels when you both have more skeletal muscle and you use it.
So most women I know need to pick up weights at least three times per week.
It's not that any other form of exercise is, quote, bad, but we always need to bring more muscle building into it because it improves our hormonal health and can fight against insulin resistance.
So build muscle.
So we're going to sleep and we're going to build muscle.
Next, we have a journal.
The journal's here about stress.
And stress is really nuanced, right?
And many times when I bring up stress, people will sit across from me and they'll say, oh, well, my doctor told me not to stress about being stressed.
And there's certainly things about infertility that are stressful.
We have to acknowledge the stress of questioning your future, how you saw yourself, your identity, if you identified with being a mom one day, to have that questioned, of course, is stressful.
But there are stressors that we have every single day, right?
Whether it's social media, the news, politics, financial stress, business stress, interpersonal stress, and all of these stressors add up.
So it's not about Maggie, avoid all stress because that advice is really not very helpful.
I want to put it in twofold bucket.
One is to say, you will experience stress today.
You will.
