What’s the link between Mental Health and Fertility? with Psychologist Alisha Polsen | Episode 35

Can stress and mental health struggles contribute to fertility complications? And, in turn, can fertility struggles compromise your mental health?

It’s a chicken-and-egg scenario, but it’s clear to see: there’s a strong link between mental health and fertility outcomes.

Today I’m joined by psychologist Alisha Polsen, to dive into the link between physical and mental health, and the importance of developing proactive strategies to improve our mental health and fertility outcomes.
