Exercise & Body Image


In this encouraging and empowering video, Dr. Sterling unpacks one of the most misunderstood parts of the trying-to-conceive journey: how to approach exercise, movement, and body image with care, clarity, and compassion.

You’ll learn:

  • Why wellness—not weight loss—is the focus at Sterling Parents

  • How to shift the narrative away from scale obsession and toward strength, energy, mental clarity, and emotional well-being

  • The actual data on exercise and fertility—including how intensity and BMI may affect ovulation

  • Which movements support your body as you prepare for pregnancy (think: back strength, core stability, pelvic floor exercises)

  • When to consider pelvic floor therapy and how to know if your movement is serving your fertility goals

Plus, you’ll reflect on how body image is often impacted during the reproductive journey—and how to set a loving intention for your relationship with your body moving forward. Whether it’s “I want to listen more,” “I want to be less critical,” or simply, “Can I be 2% kinder to myself?”
