We stress eat, stress drink.

So many of us add to stress with a negative behavior that worsens inflammation and insulin resistance instead of thinking, okay, that meeting was terrible.

I feel the heart palpitations.

I know my body's gearing up for the bear.

I'm going to go do 10 squats really quickly.

And that will bring you back down to baseline and stop this cycle from happening.

And so these three components of building the muscle, getting enough sleep and learning to manage stress, you can't prevent all stress, but learning to manage it, that's the foundation for every single day that you're going to make a decision on that impacts inflammation levels in your body.

So one thing to understand that we have to break down is that it's really hard to study fertility.

There's many different outcomes.

Are you looking at a positive pregnancy test?

Are you looking at a live birth?

Are you looking at people trying to get pregnant with IVF?

What is the outcome?

So some of the best data we have are cohort studies, which means we're following a group of people.

And the life study is one of those and they followed their natural behavior.

So people who didn't have any known fertility problems who first started trying to get pregnant

and did a bunch of evaluation of lifestyle factors.

And in the life study, one thing they checked was looking at markers of stress, specifically salivary amylase, which hasn't something we routinely check in clinic, but seeing if patients were subjectively, did they report feeling stressed?

Did they have higher salivary amylase levels?

And those things were correlated.
