A seed holds the memory of its season: the weather, the soil, what we fed the ground.đź«›
While drying my Thai beans between patients today, I kept thinking about Jing - essence. In Chinese medicine, our essence is shaped by what we inherit and by how we live: how we eat, when we sleep, how we meet stress.
The eggs a woman is born with mature in the environment we create for them.
A few habits that support ovarian health and egg quality:
· Regular, nourishing meals
· Consistent, sufficient sleep
· Finishing dinner earlier. Melatonin rises after sunset, and digestion and insulin sensitivity are less efficient in the evening
Fertility has many variables, and these are small and easy ways to support it.
Save this for the days you need the reminder, and send it to someone who is preparing for pregnancy.
What is one habit you are working on right now?
