10 Things to Avoid During the Implantation Period with Dr. Christina Burns
Thursday, 8 October, 2026
In this informative episode of Fertility in Focus, Dr. Christina Burns shares 10 things to avoid during the implantation period following an IVF transfer, IUI, or trying naturally to conceive. She explains why she calls these days “princess days”—a time to slow down, create white space, and allow yourself to be cared for rather than trying to accomplish more. Dr. Burns discusses avoiding unnecessary new supplements and protocols, cosmetic and chemical exposures, major bodywork, excessive sugar, intense exercise, heavy physical work, overcommitting, and unnecessary stress. She also shares guidance on nourishing foods, steady blood sugar, warm foods from an Eastern medicine perspective, and the importance of letting go of control and cultivating trust during the fertility journey.In This Episode, You’ll Learn:Why Dr. Christina calls the implantation period “princess days”Why less may be more when it comes to adding new supplements or protocolsWhich elective cosmetic and chemical exposures may be worth postponingWhy gentle bodywork is preferred during this timeHow to support steady blood sugar through balanced, nourishing mealsWhy intense exercise and overexertion may not be appropriate during the implantation windowWhy it’s okay to slow down and avoid heavy physical workHow setting boundaries and saying “not this week” can create more white spaceHow to reduce unnecessary stress without creating additional pressureThe Eastern medicine perspective on warm, nourishing foodsWhy letting go of control and cultivating trust can be an important part of the fertility journeyTimestamps:00:00 Introduction00:21 Welcome Back & Understanding the Implantation Period00:43 “Princess Days” — Creating Space to Rest and Slow Down02:13 #1: Don’t Treat Your Body Like a Project03:13 #2: Avoid Unnecessary Chemicals and Cosmetic Exposures04:16 #3: Be Gentle with Bodywork05:10 #4: Don’t Make Sugar a Major Part of Your Diet06:19 Fertility Formula & Herbal Spotlight07:06 #5: Don’t Over-Exercise08:30 #6: Don’t Lift, Haul, or Take on Extra Physical Work09:26 #7: Don’t Say Yes to Everything10:00 #8: Don’t Underestimate Stress10:39 #9: Don’t Live on Cold and Icy Foods11:35 #10: Let Go of Control & Trust the Process12:49 Podcast Closing MessageAbout Dr. Christina Burns:Dr. Christina Burns is the founder and Doctor of Chinese Medicine at the Naturna Institute.
