1. It reduces Cortisol Levels

   
   The hormone cortisol is stimulated mainly by stress. Cortisol is your body’s main fight-or-flight hormone and the presence of this hormone, more than the required amount, can create problems for the endocrine system. Cortisol is responsible for the decrease of the monthly surge of luteinizing hormone (LH), which triggers ovulation. Cortisol, however, increases prolactin levels, which is the hormone that prevents ovulation during breastfeeding. Meditation has shown remarkable results in reducing the cortisol level and has also shown to restore ovulation in 75-80% of the women experiencing functional hypothalamic amenorrhea.

2. It reduces Insulin Resistance

   
   Insulin resistance can impair ovulation and it is also responsible for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS makes up to almost 35% of the female infertility cases. Transcendental meditation has shown to work on reducing insulin resistance in its practitioners. Mediation works by affecting cortisol’s negative influence on glucose uptake during times of stress.

3. It Improves Sex Hormone Balance

   
   Cortisol is made from the same precursor as the progesterone. Progesterone is one of the major female reproductive hormones. When we are under stress our body has trouble producing the cortisol in demand. To make up, it steals this hormone from the amount stored for the progesterone production. Thus, as a result, your body ends up with high cortisol level and a low progesterone level. Low progesterone prevents an embryo from properly implanting in the uterine lining, resulting in early miscarriage. Meditation helps to reign in the stress and reduces the cortisol level, improving the progesterone production.
