State of the Art Fertility Treatment Episode 5: Lifestyle

We all have our habits and daily routines. Some of these lifestyle factors are more or less supportive and constructive for our health. Yet, changing habits, no matter how destructive they may be, is incredibly challenging. It takes time, perseverance, patience, willingness, and acceptance to make adjustments. When facing infertility, lifestyle factors, as do physical, and mental factors play their role in the puzzle. It is important to look at the individual and the couple from a holistic perspective, seeing the individuals and their needs, in order to start any treatments. As helpless, paralyzed one can feel with regard to the medical components, one area we can all impact is our lifestyle.   Lifestyle benefits: Reduce chronic stress. Live a balanced healthy everyday life, no need to give up all your pleasures, coffee, sweets, and daily treats, as long as in balance, and not medically counter indicated. Routines: Take time for yourself each day. Ritual implementation: 15min fully devoted to yourself everyday. Nutrition: Eat well, live well. Take benefit of accessing wellness treatments for body mind connection. Stay romantic, even in the midst of IVF hormone injections, doctors visits, and all the emotional and physical symptoms it comes with. @unesurcent @drschwank @optimalperformancezurich
