Lifestyle factors and fertility

Lifestyle choices, such as excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, obesity, and high stress levels can negatively impact fertility in men and women.   What can be done? It’s always easier said than done! Change is super tough!!   Ask yourself, which adjustments are feasible and sustainable. -Less is more. If you want to change a habit, start with a small change that you can maintained over a long period of time. -Do it as a team and support each other. Fertility treatments are super tough. You may therefore fall back into old habits. Don’t blame each other. -Meet each other with dignity, kindness, and respect.   Set yourself a goal, like the Everest camps. Start with base camp one, two, etc. nobody reaches the top within one day!   Keep living! Fertility treatments can take a longtime to succeed. Keep your daily life and especially important your social life going. It’s crustal for mental and physical well-being.   @drschwank @unesurcent @optimalperformancezurich
