Dr. Josh Axe: Healing Through Mindset, Thyroid Issues, Fertility, Hashimotos & PCOS

Mindset

The mindset surrounding fertility is crucial, as Josh Axe explains, emphasizing the importance of achieving a state of peace and purpose. He shares that ancient forms of medicine, such as Chinese and Ayurvedic, highlight the role of emotional states like fear and worry in impacting fertility. Mari Llewellyn resonates with this, noting how worry can overshadow her efforts in health and exercise 1.

If you can get your body into that state and your mind into that state, boom, your fertility just goes up dramatically according to these ancient forms of medicine.

Josh advises focusing on balancing cortisol and insulin levels to enhance fertility, suggesting that emotional well-being is more than half the battle 2.

   

Diet

Diet plays a significant role in fertility, with Josh Axe recommending warming and nourishing foods. He suggests incorporating foods like sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and grass-fed beef, which align with the principles of Chinese medicine to build blood and warm the body 3.

You want to do mostly, again, just chicken vegetable soup, beef stew, you know, things that are warming internally.

Additionally, Axe highlights the importance of balancing insulin through supplements like cinnamon and chromium picolinate, while also recommending acupuncture as a beneficial practice for fertility 3.
