#52 A Structural Approach to Fertility: Understanding Your Spine, Nervous System and Fascia with Danielle Ayres, DC

In episode 52, we interview chiropractor and women's health champion, Dr. Danielle Ayres, about how we can support fertility from a structural and neurological perspective. Dr. Danielle’s focus is on helping women improve their quality of life, reduce stress reactivity, and increase stress resilience through a unique combination of chiropractic tools. So many women struggling with fertility experience a massive increase in stress and, while stress may not cause infertility in the majority of cases, it certainly doesn’t help the situation and it can significantly reduce our ability to heal our bodies, recover our fertility, and just generally experience joy and happiness in our lives. Dr. Danielle talks about some of the reasons that we can get stuck in this constant fight or flight stress response and what we can do, both on our own and with professional help, to start to unwind it to support better health and a more fertile body. Today you'll learn:

The goal of traditional chiropractic care and how Dr. Danielle’s approach is both similar and different
The different types of nervous system signaling and how these affect whether our body is calm and relaxed or tense and on edge
What fascia is and how it impacts the tension in our bodies, as well as our neurological state
How all of this ties into fertility and how Dr. Danielle approaches care for women trying to conceive
Types of movement we can incorporate into our daily lives to bring more balance to the nervous system and turn down the stress response
How to seek out professional support, when necessary
