opinion yeah there's just
13:58
so much to learn in all of these layers individually but then how they interact is the biggest part Because when we experience stress from an early age, maybe even before that, like our we were a part of our mother's genome before we were born as an egg when she was in her mother's womb.
14:17
So like we are living as an experience of generations that we have been built upon like before us.
14:26
And so as we encounter those stress patterns generationally, that is going to drain our minerals.
14:34
So magnesium is going to get used up a whole lot.
14:36
It's going to get used up a whole lot.
14:39
These stress patterns like guilt and shame and anger.

And so, yeah, I want to make sure we have enough time for you to go through what the four pillars are and give us all of the information that we can actually implement into our own lives.
15:49
And so if somebody feels like, wow, I'm not a p- in a position, I'm not in the appropriate environment, um, maybe I'm in a busy city, maybe I have like a stressful job, like how can they start to make these everyday decisions that support their health and their fertility?
16:05
Mm-hmm.
16:07
Yeah.
16:07
There's a few things that we need to be doing every single day, and like I said, like not as like a chore, but because these are gonna be the things that we do and prioritize for the rest of our lives because we know how important and valuable they are to us.
16:21
So there's, I mean, a lot of them are like free and available to us very readily, like breathwork, um, and sunlight, and, and some of these seemingly like almost too simple kind of things, but we always need to be coming back to the basics because the breath is one of the manual controls that we have over our nervous system in, in specific moments, and, and being able to move our body how it needs to be able to process information.
16:51
And, and so knowing in the moment what to do is really where the value of understanding how this all works.
16:57
And, and there's specific practices that we kind of do for each pillar to, to optimize each of them.

So I'm curious, what are your thoughts on people who are considering, uh, freezing their eggs or, like, going through IVF? Um, you know, and like, what do you wish that they knew?
