Episode Notes

This episode is particularly close to my heart as I answer one of the most common questions from my clients: What foods should you avoid to boost fertility? The world of nutrition can be confusing, so stay tuned as I list five foods to steer clear of:

1. Trans Fats - Commonly found in processed and fried foods, trans fats can hinder ovulation and insulin sensitivity.
2. High-Mercury Fish - While fish is generally healthy, species like swordfish and king mackerel have high mercury levels that can affect fertility.
3. Excessive Caffeine - High caffeine intake can negatively impact fertility and increase the risk of miscarriage.
4. High-Sugar Foods and Beverages - These can lead to insulin resistance, especially detrimental for those with PCOS, impacting fertility.
5. Alcohol - High consumption can disrupt hormonal balance and affect sperm and egg quality.

Remember, navigating your dietary choices doesn't have to be overwhelming. Simple, sustainable changes can significantly enhance your fertility.
