How to Fast for Fat Loss, Hormones, and Better Sex | Dr. Mindy Pelz
"If reproduction is a top priority for a female body, if you're under so much stress, the body is like, It's not safe to house a baby. The body's always doing the right thing at the right time."
Dr. Pelz explained that women struggling to conceive may be experiencing their body's protective response to stress and unsafe environments, including unresolved trauma and toxic thought patterns. She shared a story of a reproductive specialist who told a patient struggling for a year to simply stop doing so much and reduce stress, resulting in pregnancy within a month. Pelz argued that subconscious awareness of being in the wrong relationship could also prevent conception.
