Men and women breathe differently!
For women, did you know that your breathing alters during your menstrual cycle in response to hormonal changes?
The same is true during pregnancy and menopause.
Breathing well is beneficial in moderating these hormone changes.
Whilst studies are needed to understand this more fully, it is helpful for women to know when both retraining and noticing any irregularities to their breathing.
Fertility is effected by a number of factors some of which are clear and others which are difficult to identify.
What is understood is that poor sleep is causal in infertility (referenced in full article ) and stress is a likely contributor to infertility just as infertility can cause stress. So far, talking therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy are usually recommended for those suffering from panic attacks, anxiety and infertility.
What we know at the Breathe Free Clinic is that breathing well will also support your body to be at its best by helping to calm the body, improving sleep and stress levels, circulation and oxygen delivery around the body.
It makes sense therefore that breathing functionally will at least be an indirect if not direct influence on fertility.
