Did you know that your gut health can impact your fertility in a major way? In this episode on The Nutrient Dense Podcast, I dive deep into the many ways in which your gut health can influence your fertility (estrogen levels, ovulation, egg health, etc). I discuss the critical connection between the two — from the importance of regular bowel movements for estrogen regulation, to the ways your gut health influences various vital aspects of fertility. We'll dive into hormonal balance, nutrient absorption, thyroid function, blood sugar regulation, and gut infections and the role they might play in fertility issues. Optimizing your gut health can actually enhance your reproductive outcomes, so let's dive in!

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE:

• If you aren't pooping, you aren't clearing estrogen!
• If inflammation is the root cause of disease...where is it coming from? The gut!
• Poor gut health = poor nutrient absorption, which is crucial for reproductive health.
• Suboptimal thyroid function can cause fertility struggles, if if you labs look "normal"
• Blood sugar regulation is vital for hormonal balance and fertility (and overall health!).
• Gut infections can be linked to infertility issues.
• Dysbiosis can affect fertility-related endocrine disorders.
• Optimizing your gut health can improve fertility outcomes.
• Functional testing can help identify gut health issues affecting fertility.
