Are you unknowingly carrying stress and tension in your body, impacting your fertility and overall well-being?

Many people don’t realize how deeply stress can affect the nervous system, especially when it comes to fertility challenges and overall health. You may be addressing physical symptoms without considering the emotional, chemical, and even spiritual stressors that create tension patterns in your body.

In this episode, Dr. Shea, a chiropractor specializing in Network Spinal, shares her insights on how these stressors affect your health and fertility. She explains how this gentle technique helps release tension and align your body’s natural ability to heal.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• Why your body holds onto these patterns and how they impact your fertility.
• The role of Network Spinal in releasing tension and promoting healing.
• Practical ways to support your body’s natural ability to heal and regulate stress.

Fertility challenges can feel overwhelming, but by addressing the root causes of stress and tension in your nervous system, you can create a healthier, more supportive environment for both your body and mind.

BIO:
Dr. Shea Osuna has spent the last decade supporting woman navigate the highs and lows of life and motherhood. She is a Network Spinal chiropractor, focusing on light touch and attention to the nervous system to help her practice members unravel spinal cord tension, create more freedom in their body, and improve their ability to heal and thrive.

Her passion and dedication is helping women as they consider motherhood and support them through their unique journey, however that may look. After the loss of her daughter in 2018, Dr. Shea realized becoming a mother meant welcoming all the beauty and all the heart ache.

She currently has practices in the West Denver and Louisville, Colorado areas where she lives with her husband and two boys.

When it comes to embryo grading, there's a lot of confusion and outdated practices that could be standing in the way of your fertility journey. If you've ever felt overwhelmed or misled by the grading systems used by clinics, this episode is for you. Today, we’re breaking down the complexities of embryo grading with Dr. Greene, uncovering what these grades really mean and how they impact your chances of success.

Are you putting too much weight on embryo grades without understanding what they really represent?

Embryo grading can be a critical part of the IVF process, but many people are in the dark about its true significance. While it’s tempting to fixate on getting a perfect "AA" grade, the reality is that grading is just one piece of the puzzle. Misunderstanding or overvaluing these grades can lead to unnecessary stress and potentially misguided decisions.

The truth about embryo grading is more complex than you think.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll discover:

👉The real purpose of embryo grading and why it’s not the be-all and end-all of your IVF journey.

👉How the Gardner Classification, a system over 20 years old, is still in use today and what that means for you.

👉The difference between grading and genetic testing, and why the latter is often more critical.

👉Why not all "AA" embryos are created equal, and how to interpret your results with the help of your clinic.

Note: This conversation with Dr. Greene took place in August 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. We're resharing it now to provide you with insights that may still be relevant to your fertility journey. Keep in mind that these are Dr. Greene's personal opinions from that date, and the landscape of fertility treatments is always evolving.

Don’t let confusion or outdated practices dictate your fertility journey. By understanding the ins and outs of embryo grading, you can make more informed decisions that align with your unique circumstances.
