👉 Did you know that breathwork can boost your fertility? Think to a time that you were feeling stressed and to how you were breathing at that time. Were you breathing deeply or did your chest feel constricted and were you breathing shallowly? ⁠
⁠
🫁 Breathing consciously (and deeply) can have a profound affect on many things including mood regulation, stress reduction, energy, cardiovascular health, and improved sleep which are all directly linked to fertility. ⁠
⁠
☝️ So take a few 'breath breaks' throughout your day and see how your body, mind, and spirit shift. ⁠

👉 In this interview, the founder of the Vancouver Butterfly Run, Kim Lockhart, shares her story of loss and how The Butterfly Run came to be as a result.⁠
⁠
👉 The Butterfly Run is a walk/run event held for those who have experienced infertility, miscarriage, or infant loss. Its fundamental belief is rooted in the idea that a bereaved parent is a path that no one should walk alone. This run exists to support those who have experienced infertility, pregnancy loss, and infant loss by organizing a Memorial Run to create community, raise awareness, and fundraise for supporting programs.⁠
⁠
👉 This year, the Butterfly Run will be held on October 2nd, 2021. To listen to Kim's story, learn more about the Butterfly Run, and to register visit the links in my bio! ⁠

👉 The WHO has said that climate change is the 21st century’s greatest threat to public health. Recent polls in Canada also indicate that climate change is the defining issue of this election. We need to hear what our political leaders’ plans are for addressing the climate emergency. To this end, I am joining leaders across the country to call on David Johnston, head of the Leaders Debate Commission, to schedule a climate emergency debate in advance of the coming election on September 20, 2021.⁠

👏 You. Deserve. Rest 👏⁠
⁠
I talk to all my clients about the need to prioritize sleep and to rewire their brains from thinking that they do not have time or deserve to have rest. ⁠
⁠
I received this email and knew I needed to share it with all of you:⁠
⁠
'Dr Pentland, what kind of Harry Potter spell did you put on me?!? I slept 10.75 hours last night!!! That hasn’t happened in years. Maybe it was the realization that I do need it and correcting the belief that just because I have cognitive hacks to make it through the day, my biological function does indeed suffer. There was also a moment when I told myself, “just sleep; you deserve it.” I wasn’t aware that I felt undeserving of rest and recovery.'⁠

👉 There are many ways that you can influence and optimize your menstrual cycle (and therefore your fertility), and a good place to start is gaining a deeper understanding of your cycle and what is happening in each unique phase so that you can align with your cycle.

👉 Once you understand the characteristics and timing of the different phases of your cycle, you can begin to implement simple concepts and habits into your life that help you align with your natural cycle. The result; optimized hormones, emotions, health, and fertility.

👉 In this episode of The Conception Channel, I talk to Angie, @hormonehacker . Angie is super passionate about empowering woman through a deeper understanding of their hormones, menstrual cycle, and fertility. Her breakdown of the 4 phases of the cycle, what is happening, and how a woman can better connect and ‘hack’ potential issues is fresh and fun while at the same time being backed by solid science (both current and empirical).

📚 Book Recommendation 📚⁠
⁠
'Healing with Whole Foods' by Paul Pitchford is one of my most recommended books to cultivate wellness. ⁠
⁠
This book is used by acupuncturists and is a guide to the theory, Chinese Medicine, and the healing power of food to support you. ⁠
⁠
It is the bible of all things food and a great coffee table reference book. ⁠

💥 One of my favourite complete ab exercises, hanging leg raises with alternating kicks right to the bar.⁠
⁠
💥 Having a strong core is important to keep your back safe while lifting weights and will help improve your posture, subsequently allowing you to breathe better. ⁠
⁠
💥 Lifting weights and breathing are not only good for general health but also your fertility. They help to increase testosterone, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce stress/anxiety. ⁠
⁠
💥 So, don't ignore your core - it supports your bodies ability to improve your fertility! ⁠
