When couples come into the office struggling with fertility, increased symptoms, or emotional stress, there’s often something interesting happening - they’re both carrying stress patterns that are affecting their nervous systems in ways they don’t realize.
Here’s what most people don’t know: a man’s fertility is just as dependent on his nervous system health as a woman’s!
Chronic stress doesn’t just make you feel overwhelmed - it literally shuts down testosterone production, affects s***m quality, and disrupts the communication between the brain and organs such as the reproductive system, digestive system, lymphatics, immune system, and has a direct impact on mental health.
When one partner is stressed, it creates a ripple effect that impacts the other partner’s nervous system too. This is called co-regulation, and it’s why we often see the most success when both partners receive chiropractic care. When the nervous system is functioning optimally, the body can shift out of survival mode and back into “growth and repair” mode - which is exactly where fertility thrives😌
Nervous system health isn’t just individual; it’s about creating the optimal environment for new life together. 🤎
