Leah Hechtman - The Domino Effect: Conception and the Endocrine System - Symposium 2021

In our modern world of fast paced lives; high demands; and busyness being a badge of honour our internal and external pressures are higher than ever before. It is no wonder our endocrine system is negatively impacted and subsequent effects to fertility seen in a clinical context. The rule of the endocrine domino effect has never been more apparent. As our mental health requires greater neurological, hormonal and chemical support our endocrine system adapts, modulates and modifies to accommodate. The subsequent impact to our ability to procreate substantiates our current declining fertility statistics. The human body will shut down and prevent conception unless it is considered ’safe’. It will adapt hormonal control to ensure fertility is delayed until the body is more balanced, rested and secure. We cannot expect our treatments to work without this consideration. We cannot expect the human body to create life when the parents'' wellbeing is compromised.
