Together, they explore one of the most common myths in reproductive health: the belief that people simply need to \"relax\" in order to conceive. \nDrawing on decades of research, Jacky explains what the evidence really tells us about stress and fertility, why infertility can be emotionally challenging, and how the fertility journey can affect individuals and relationships. \nThe conversation explores the psychological impact of fertility treatment, the value of counselling and peer support, and practical strategies for maintaining wellbeing while navigating uncertainty. \nThe episode also examines the growing influence of social media on fertility information, the importance of evidence-based advice, and how patients can make informed decisions about treatment options. This insightful and compassionate discussion offers reassurance, understanding, and practical guidance for anyone trying to conceive or supporting someone on their fertility journey.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ywam8AkLwuwu4CUE0fT-dlzadyAnVRdpIFExRRsNORM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lMjhi/YzgxOGUzOWY0MWYx/ZDI4MzU0ZGYzY2Qw/YzkwMy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
