How to take your basal body temperature (BBT)

BBT charting is an incredibly simple and useful tool in helping you (and us!) gain greater insight into the timing and quality of your menstrual cycle. The shifting of your hormones throughout your cycle is reflected in small changes in your body temperature, and BBT charting helps us to really see what is going on and what could be contributing to your health issues. For a smooth and healthy period, your body needs to be producing the right levels of the right hormones at the right times – not always an easy task in our chemical-filled, stressed out lives.

Let's talk about sperm

Do you really need to improve your sperm health? The answer is probably! Since 1989, there has been a 30% decrease in sperm count in the general male population and about one in twenty men has a fertility issue, even if they live a seemingly healthy lifestyle. Male fertility is a common reason people go to IVF with research showing that 40% of infertility cases are due to poor sperm quality. Even if your results came back in the okay range you can still improve your sperm-health even further, giving you the best chance of conceiving.

Podcast Recommendation

Podcasts accompany people during long commutes, workouts at the gym, and downtime in the bathtub, among other places. If you’re wondering if that’s a good thing, it may help you to know that podcasts interact with your brain in the same way stories do.

Accessing information via the human voice can generate activity in parts of the brain responsible for memory, sensory activity, and emotion.

Here’s a podcast suggestion for you with lots of interesting and scientific facts about health.

How to Improve a Thin Endometrium Naturally

The endometrium is the lining of the uterus. It is one of the few organs in the human body that changes in size every month throughout a person’s fertile years. Each month, as part of the menstrual cycle, the body prepares the endometrium to host an embryo. Endometrial thickness increases and decreases during the process.

What factors can cause an endometrial lining to be too thin?
