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.
