10% of women have challenges conceiving

Infertility rates seem to be rising, and this can bring about magnitudes of stress and depression in both partners and their relationship. 

There are many factors which can contribute to the risk of experiencing this challenge, with most focused around the womans health and environment. But…. if was dependent on healthy lifestyles alone, why can some “unhealthy” women get pregnant?

There is a pandemic of sleep and airway issues that is not being addressed. It presents as needing braces for crowded teeth and/or sleep issues- which are initially expressed as ADHD in children, and fatigue, infertility or high blood pressure in adults.

Feel like you have tried everything, and still not having success conceiving?

When I started Mind Body Mouth, I realized I had connected a huge aspect of health that was being overlooked by medical and dental professionals alike. And as my journey continued I found even more compelling evidence as to why we need to add the mouth to the equation when we started to uncover contributing factors to our declining health and fertility outcomes.

Despite having more and more science/evidence to support the effect of poor facial development and airway health on many aspects of our life, most health professionals continue to be ignorant or are unaware of its importance to overall health, let alone have the ability to detect the signs and symptoms. Many disregard this newer science because of a previous belief or understanding, many others have not even heard of how impactful it is to overall health, others do not know enough- that they simply will not even discuss it with their patients as their own ego is threatened.

My question to you…..What if your health care provider has missed the root cause of your infertility?

Here are some signs and symptoms to consider:

* Teeth grinding/Clenching

* TMJ disorder (jaw & headaches/sore neck)

* Snoring/Sleep Apnea/Night-time Waking (more than once)

* Morning Breath/Dry Mouth

* Grooves on Tongue

* Teeth extractions for Braces/Orthodontic Relapse 

* Unexplainable Gum Disease/Cavities

*Poor Posture (forward head posture)

* Stress/Anxiety

* High Blood Pressure/Poor Glucose Regulation

* Acid Reflux

These signs and symptoms can have many origins and causes that do not relate to oral health, but what if they were?

Without addressing oral function, you could be in constant state of perceived stress! Your body will not be able to utilize the healthy habits your are enforcing, and safe enough to support your reproductive function. 

Book a consult or assessment to determine if this might be the root cause to your infertility challenges.
