The Hormone Everyone Overlooks (But Shouldn’t)

When fertility isn’t going as planned, the usual suspects get the spotlight: FSH, AMH, estrogen, progesterone. But cortisol? That one often gets ignored - even though it’s the hormone that sets the entire stage.

Here’s what you need to know:

Chronic cortisol elevation diverts resources away from reproductive function - it’s your body choosing survival over conception.

High cortisol suppresses ovulation, destabilizes blood sugar, disrupts sleep, and taxes your thyroid - all crucial for hormone balance.

What's worse, daily rhythms like high intensity exercising, multitasking, or running on caffeine, can keep cortisol stuck in overdrive.

In Chinese Medicine, this is reflected in Liver Qi stagnation or Spleen Qi deficiency - patterns that create a mismatch between how much energy you're spending and how much you're restoring.

At Infinite Fertility, we reverse this pattern not with quick fixes - but with systems-level restoration. This includes:

-    Stabilizing your nutrition

-    Supporting your circadian rhythm and rest rituals

-    Harmonizing your stress and mindset routines

The key here is making sure your body no longer feels under siege, so it can open again to creation.

This is what most fertility clinics miss. And it’s why your whole system needs care, not just your uterus.
