Basic spa day will include: Yoga on the Beach Check your basal body temperature. Eat less carbohydrates. Take your medicine. Exercise more. Fertility can create a list of things to do that is so long...who you are gets lost in the process. The focal point of this couples day is to get back to BEING. To learn how when you take care of simple things...the complicated things start to take care of themselves without medical micromanaging. What better place to simplify than in the fresh air of a beautiful beach setting?
Introduction For the Women Nutrition is the foundation for fertility. Without it, hormones and reproduction do not have the environment or the proper energy to do their job. But did you know that well-intended, but incomplete nutrition strategies can actually interfere with fertility? Susan Dopart, MS, RD, a dietitian well respected by infertility specialists in Los Angeles, will share her knowledge and experience in this area.
For the Men What's happening to my wife? What can I do to fix this problem? Men have a different way of viewing problems and also using information to solve those problems. Jeffrey Batchelor, an organizational and stress management consultant, will share his thoughts and experiences about how the male psyche can be capitalized on when dealing with something as frustrating as uncooperative physiology. Monika M. Woolsey, MS, RD, will provide the scientific part of this session.
Healthy Lunch: (to be posted--it will be healthy carb, healthy fat, and gluten-free) Far too many women out there are starving themselves in the name of fertility. We like to believe that history is on your side! Women have been conceiving for centuries without counting carbohydrates. We plan on fixing you a beautiful, delicious, and healthy lunch that goes back to the basics without feeling "dietful". Detoxifying Your Home
Did you know that there are many chemicals in common household products that can interfere with hormone balance? Nadereh Afsharmaneh, Ph.D., has been researching this issue for much of her career. She will be sharing some ideas for creating a home environment that is safe for your hormones.
Aromatherapy and Skin Care
Infertility on its own is a challenge to accept. So it's a complete bother to have to deal with some of the appearance changes hormones can create at a time when it's important to feel attractive to your partner. Sandie West has created a line of all-natural and hormone friendly products that we will be experiencing. There's nothing like a little bit of pampering to help lift the mood!
Couples Stretching
A connected couple is a less-stressed couple. Infertility treatments, because of their expense, their physical demand, and their time commitment, can pull apart the very bond that should be the foundation of the goal. We'll wind down our day with Sandie, in a simple, gentle exercise that you can take home and use whenever you feel that connection being challenged. Cost of basic spa day: $350 per couple
