[TRANSCRIPT OF ANSWER]

Foods That Enhance Fertility

“People ask if there’s a specific diet or food that can enhance their fertility, and in many different traditions, in many cultures, there are foods that help enhance fertility. But these diets are specific for specific conditions. So there are foods that help with inflammation such as pineapple. People talk about their anti-inflammatory diets that help with the immune system, their diets that help one build blood to nourish the uterus.” 

Maintaining Balance of Carbs, Proteins, Fat

“One of the most important aspects of your diet, in my opinion, is to consume a lot of green leafy vegetables that help your body utilize their own endogenous estrogens, a high protein, low carb diet to balance one’s blood sugar, and a good quantity of healthy fats such as coconut oil, olive oil, and avocado oil.” 

“You have to remember that our body needs essential proteins, essential fatty acids, and amino acids. We do not need, or there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. So many times, it’s really important to make sure that you balance your blood sugar by low carb, high fat, high protein diet of healthy fats and healthy proteins.”
