Feeling Anxious or Down During Your IVF Journey?

It’s important to nurture your mental health as you navigate this challenging time. Consider incorporating these mood-boosting foods into your diet: fresh fruits and veggies, fatty fish like wild salmon, whole grains, nuts, and probiotic-rich foods like kimchi. And don’t forget a little dark chocolate for a serotonin lift! 

Supplements like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, B-Complex, and magnesium can also support your mental well-being.

Additionally, exploring herbal options like ashwagandha, holy basil, chamomile, passionflower, valerian root, reishi mushroom and bacopa monnieri may help ease anxiety and promote relaxation.

💪Lifestyle matters too! Regular non-intense exercise, mindfulness practices like yoga, breathwork, somatic release and meditation, and prioritizing sleep can make a big difference. Stay connected with loved ones for emotional support, and try to limit processed foods. Get immersed into your favourite hobbies and art!

Remember to always consult a healthcare provider before starting any supplementation plan because everyone needs a personalized routine. You are not alone on this journey, and taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health .
