I probably sound like a broken record, but hey, if you didn't know, oxidative stress is a major player in men's infertility. And at the moment we have very expensive and limited ways to find out just how much it is affecting each man. It makes sense that supplements designed to combat oxidative stress would be the antidote. Right??!Plot twist!You'll need to listen to the end to hear all about which supplements we have researched, what the WHO recommends about male supplements, the risks of taking them when you don't need them, and some practical (and safe) changes we can make.TIMESTAMPS0:35 Sperm health is sooo important1:35 Why current sperm tests are letting us down3:29 Our current accessibility to testing oxidative damage5:14 The six supplements that possibly make a difference10:00 What the WHO recommends10:52 When taking supplements is a bad thing11:39 Three ways you can find out if you need supplements14:00 Summary of all of the aboveFertility Foods downloadable for men to tweak their diet.

Here to reduce your endo pain naturally? Join me as I explore the intricate relationship between estrogen dominance, inflammation, and certain types of fats, such as palmitic acid, which quite likely make things worse. You'll hear where things are at between endometriosis and red meat, alcohol, caffeine, and even environmental disruptors like pesticides and BPA. While some people with endometriosis find relief by cutting out certain foods like gluten and soy due to their potential inflammatory effects, you'll figure out if this is something YOU need to do, and how to go about it. Are you on the lookout for a FODMAP dietitian near you?

In this episode, we're diving into the world of endometriosis and the dreaded "endo belly." If you're not familiar, endo is when the uterine lining decides to go on a field trip outside the uterus, causing pain, scarring, and bloating that makes you question your clothing choices. We'll explore the reasons behind the endo belly, including inflammation, hormonal fluctuations, gut microbiome shenanigans, stress, sluggish guts, increased sensitivity, and diaphragm hijinks. But fear not my fellow endo warriors, I've got a list of seven strategies to combat the belly, ranging from food tweaks to lifestyle changes. And if you're up for it, grab your handy resource with even more tips to bid farewell to your phantom pregnancy days. So let's say goodbye to bloating and hello to feeling fabulous.
