Stress is a phenomenon of modern life, but it’s not something that should be accepted as normal. Long-term stress produces an excess of stress hormones, like cortisol and adrenaline, and muscular tension that produces a physical state of acidity, both of which are extremely detrimental to the physical and psychological well-being of any individual.
This can affect other functions in turn, disrupting, for example, the overall hormonal balance of the body, which can lead to fertility problems. Stress may start with an emotional response to life, but the impact on the physical body is often underestimated. Here at the Clinic we pay particular attention to the emotional life of our clients, because of the mind/body link, and because stress can disrupt some of the finely tuned functions of the body that can tip the balance, and make conception difficult.
