Women's Bodies are Always Adapting | Dr. Mindy Pelz

Our bodies are always adapting to our environment. If we're restrictive too much with our calories, if we're too extreme with our exercise, if we're too extreme with our stress levels, whatever environment we're putting in, our hormones are like navigating that and adapting to that. And your cycle will change based on that. Your cycle will change based off of that. I'll give you a great example. I had a friend who had two kids and was trying to get pregnant with a third. and she waited a year to go to this reproductive specialist who had her filled out, fill out like, you know, mounds of paperwork. She goes, after a year of waiting, she sits down with this guy and he says, I'll tell you how you need to get pregnant. You need to stop doing so much. Wow. You need to stop stressing so much. And she was so upset, she left and she's like, I waited a year, I filled out all that paperwork, and that's what he told me. And she goes, and then I decided to try it. And within a month she was pregnant.
