Fertility Boosting Supplement: Magnesium Glycinate
For today’s quickie, we begin with the nutrient superstar: Magnesium Glycinate. If you find yourself struggling with sleep, feeling anxious, or experiencing PMS symptoms like mood swings, headaches, or cramps, it might be a sign of magnesium deficiency—a common issue for many women trying to conceive. Sadly, even the general population is affected due to nutrient-depleted soil.

 

Magnesium Glycinate is my personal favorite because it calms the nervous system, encourages restful sleep, supports progesterone, and helps regulate blood sugar—all critical components for fertility. Myself and my clients have seen great results with this supplement, especially when taken at night. However, always check with your healthcare provider if you're on other medications.

Fertility Saboteur: The Afternoon Coffee Breakup
Now, don’t shoot the messenger, but it might be time to reconsider your 3:00 PM coffee ritual. Caffeine spikes cortisol, which can negatively affect your hormones, impact ovulation, and lower progesterone levels—definitely not ideal when you're trying to conceive. Even one cup of coffee in the afternoon can keep your nervous system in a fight or flight state longer than anticipated and negatively affect sleep.

 

If you're craving an afternoon pick-me-up, evaluate your diet first. A healthy dose of protein and remineralized water might be the energy boost you need. Instead of caffeine, try taking a brisk walk in nature or doing a minute of physical exercise like jumping jacks or squats for a healthier energy lift.

Quick Energetic Release: The 4-4-4 Box Breathing
To wrap up, let’s tap into a quick emotional reset with a 4-4-4 box breathing exercise. This simple practice can instantly shift your energy and calm your body. If possible, place one hand on your heart and the other on your womb as you inhale for four counts, hold for four, exhale for four, and hold again for four. Repeat as desired, and let the calming effects create a feeling of safety in your body—essential for supporting conception.

Closing Thoughts
Creating a safe environment within your body is imperative for conception. When your body is in survival mode, it’s less likely to prioritize pregnancy. With magnesium magic, cutting caffeine chaos, and connecting with your breath, you can return to a fertile state.

If this message resonates with you, please share it with a friend who needs a quick fertility shift. Remember, deep breaths and trust—your baby is closer than you think.
