Is Sugar Bad for Your Fertility?
In this episode we dive into a common fertility myth: that sugar is inherently bad for fertility. I share why this all-or-nothing mindset around sugar is not only unhelpful but can actually add unnecessary stress and guilt during an already challenging fertility journey.
You’ll learn:
-
Why demonizing sugar oversimplifies the science behind nutrition and reproductive health
-
How blood sugar spikes and insulin play a role in inflammation and hormone balance
-
The power of strategic eating—pairing carbs with protein and fat
-
Why consistency in daily habits matters more than occasional indulgences
-
How restrictive diets can backfire and even reduce your nutrient intake
This episode is all about realistic, flexible, and evidence-based nutrition—so you can nourish your body without fear, guilt, or overwhelm.
🎧 Takeaway:
You don’t need to eliminate sugar to boost fertility or have a successful IVF cycle. What matters most is how you consistently fuel your body—with balance, not restriction.
