Acai contains an amazing concentration of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids.

It’s considered one of nature’s best offerings to combat premature aging, thanks to its high monounsaturated oleic acid content. Oleic acid helps omega-3 fish oils pe*****te cell membranes, which helps to reduce inflammation and promote hormone balance.

Avoid acai berry preparations that are combined with agave syrup, as this does not promote health.

Increase your vitamin C intake, can restore the adrenal glands and support hormone balance.

Try to eat at least 2-3 serves of vitamin C-rich foods most days; try papaya, capsicum (pepper), broccoli, Brussels sprouts, strawberries, pineapple, oranges, kiwifruit and cauliflower.

When you start to plan conception, it’s a great idea to have a thorough health check to make sure you are in top shape for a healthy conception – remember, each of you is only donating one cell each to this potential baby! Get some bloods done and start to work on a healthy diet and lifestyle.

If you have been trying for more than 6 months, don’t worry (this is still VERY normal) but it might be time to get a few tests done (for BOTH partners) – better to check that your tubes are clear and that the s***m quality is good before it’s been too long.

A Fertility Naturopath can help you organise other tests at this time too.

I always recommend that you don’t resolve yourself to anything too extreme that you won’t be able to maintain for long but that you be realistic about your goals and what you can achieve.

Could this be the year that you start meditating? You could try to commit to ten minutes of guided meditation before bed

Do you need to move more? Start by checking your average daily step count on your phone and make a goal to increase it slowly each week. Maybe start a new exercise class by committing to 1-2 sessions per week (you are far more likely to still be doing it in 6-12 months from now if you start slowly!)

WATER- do you drink enough? Remember to aim for 30ml per kg of body weight!

A goal to bump up your veggie intake is also a great one – try to aim for 4-5 cups of salad/veggies most days.

As you can see, I am a big fan of focusing on what you want to achieve and not what you are trying to avoid – too much focus on things like “I won’t eat chocolate this year’ are harder to achieve but focusing on things you need to do is generally more effective!

Did you know that changing levels of the s*x hormones estrogen and testosterone can affect your social anxiety?

Some studies link too little testosterone with increased anxiety, while low levels of the female s*x hormones such as estrogen may also be linked to anxiety symptoms.

This may be why anxiety often peaks during times of hormonal change such as during puberty, at certain times of the menstrual cycle in women, and during menopause in women.

Stress and s*x hormones can also have a combined effect on anxiety. For example, when you experience stress, cortisol increases, which slows your body’s ability to make testosterone. The combined effect of increased cortisol and lowered testosterone may make you feel more anxious.

If that isn’t bad enough, testosterone has partial control of the release of cortisol, so when testosterone is lowered, cortisol is more likely to increase. You can see why anxiety is a cycle that feeds itself—and that breaking this cycle is key to overcoming your symptoms.
