I subbed after hearing you are pushing Plant Based. I was diagnosed 28 years ago with PCOS when it was Super New, and my Gyno was up on the latest info.. I did the low carb thing with weights for 10 years, lost weight, hair stopped falling out, facial hair remained, but my period was black. I switched eventually over time to Plant based, and my period at 48 is beautiful, and if I start eating meat regular, my hair pulls out again and I get huge PMS! Great channel, thanks!

I have PCOS. I was lacto vegetarian for 35 years. And mostly plant based as an adult. Lots of vegan friends etc. I had a child in my early 20’s but my PCOS progressed and became very severe. My mental health deteriorated. I have recently included some chicken and fish. Which is taboo and against my religion but I haven’t felt this good in my life. At first it caused euphoria even. I am just giving it a go, it’s really tough, I love lots of fruits and vegetables but I feel like these isn’t much support for people like me coming from a plant based upbringing to make the opposite changes. It really can help paradoxically.

Thank you so much for making fertility information more accessible to all of us. Thank you. I have a comment/question. Fertility doctors all agree that maternal age is, hands down, the main factor affecting embryo/egg quality. Stanford just released a very interesting twin study on nutrition. They compared a healthy vegan diet to a healthy omnivore diet (similar to a Mediterranean diet). After only 8 weeks, the vegans had decreased their biological age while the omnivores continued to age as usual (as measured by the size of the telomeres at the end of the DNA strands). Am I the only one thinking this is an incredible AMAZING finding?!!! If we can decrease our biological age in any way, would that not have an impact on the quality of our eggs? Eggs are cells in our bodies after all, maybe we can, to some extent of course, make our eggs behave like younger eggs by eating even healthier? I know this is all theoretical, but it sure made me feel empowered and gave me a lot of hope when I heard about this amazing, measured, result of decreased biological age after just 8 weeks eating this way. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

I think over all people are forgetting that if we do not eat a well-balanced or well-rounded diet then there is a high chance we are not getting all the essential nutrients we need. For instance, Vit. D is very important in fertility, right? Well, whole dairy sources and grass-fed beef (or products like butter or milk) are great sources for that. Honestly, I am striving to balance my diet out more and increase more veggies but avoid cutting out too much meat because I know it serves a purpose. The real question is how much is too much, I think.

Hi friend! (I listen to you so much that I feel that you are one!) You mentioned that we should take at least 1000iu of Vit D. My gynae recommended 5000iu, do you think that's too much? Thank you!

If your doctor recommends more - then do more! Minimum 1000 for my patients (then some need more)

Thank you so much for this! I have a question about vitamin A as a vegan.. I am a 33 year old vegan TTC for 3 months... I was just reading that veganism could have a negative impact on fertility and fetal develop because of possible vitamin deficiencies. Most that were mentioned are covered by my prenatal which includes vitamin D and Iodine. I also take a B12 supplement. However, the study I was reading was stating that Vitamin A deficiencies could be very harmful and that the only real way to remedy them is to eat animal products as it is harmful to supplement vitamin A during pregnancy! Thoughts?? Thank you so much!!

@nancylombera978 Ай бұрын

I’m not a doctor but I have done my research and folic acid is technically the synthetic form of Folate. Folate is the nature and best form we should all be taking especially if one has a gene in their genetic makeup that is hard to chelate and break down the synthetic Folic acid. I would encourage you to look up this information yourself 😊. Knowledge is power. Best wishes to you.
