TW: This episode discusses disordered eating and eating disorders. If this is something that may affect you when listening, please skip this episode and listen to another episode of Fertility Friendly Food.

We have all seen the rise in popularity of low-carb diets, keto, and paleo diets for health and particularly weight loss in recent years... but are they problematic for our fertility?

I step you through the facts, the benefits and risks, and the current research on low-carb diets and their impact on important factors such as egg quality, sperm quality, and general fertility. I also cover chronic conditions like PCOS and what I recommend as a fertility dietitian (and spoiler alert - it's not "going paleo" !)
