Hello and welcome to the Fertility in Focus Podcast! I'm your host, Dr. Christina Burns, Doctor of Eastern Medicine and holistic fertility expert. In today's nutritional session, we are focusing on fats – the right kind, the wrong kind, and how they impact your fertility. Fats are a vital dietary component, but not all fats are created equal.

We'll explore how trans fats can harm your reproductive health, contributing to ovulation disorders, insulin resistance, and inflammation. I'll also highlight the beneficial effects of healthy fats, like Omega-3s, which can enhance egg quality, support hormone balance, and improve overall fertility. Understanding the types of fats you consume and making informed dietary choices can significantly boost your chances of conception.

In this episode, you will learn:

• The importance of fats in your diet and how they impact fertility.
• The detrimental effects of trans fats on reproductive health and ovulation.
• Research findings on the link between trans fats and fertility issues.
• The benefits of incorporating healthy fats like Omega-3s into your diet.
• Practical tips for reducing bad fats and increasing good fats to support your fertility journey.
