Daily micro-protocols for the 90-day miracle window

🔬 Pre-Bump Biology  

When relationship stress ramps up, your body doesn’t just feel tense—it shifts your fertility biology. Elevated cortisol and adrenaline alter uterine contractility, disrupt endometrial receptivity genes, and even spike sperm DNA damage. The result: a measurable drop in implantation and live-birth odds, especially in IVF cycles. 

🧬 Protocol Drop  

Today’s 1-Step Protocol: 

Schedule a 10-minute nightly couple routine for conflict recovery and calm-down. No problem-solving—just listening, gratitude, and physical connection (e.g., a 20-second hug). This single step lowers sympathetic arousal before sleep, supporting uterine receptivity and sperm quality inside your 90-day fertility window.

Endometrial Receptivity: The short time during each cycle when the uterine lining is biologically ready for an embryo to implant. It depends on hormonal signals, immune balance, and gene activation. Stress hormones can throw this window off, making it harder for an embryo to attach. 

Tonight, try the 10-minute reset—then send this to your partner so you’re both on the same page. Fertility is a team sport.
P.S. Tomorrow Teaser
Scientists have just uncovered a budget-friendly fertility breakthrough: a common grocery store nutrient that supercharges ovarian mitochondria, reverses oxidative damage, and reactivates egg-quality genes. In just 90 days, women over 35 saw markers of “egg aging” plummet—without pricey supplements or invasive treatments.
