Blood Sugar and Egg Quality: The Fertility Link You Can't Ignore

We’re diving deep into hypervigilance, how this so-called superpower might actually be standing in the way of your fertility success. If you can’t stop researching, tracking, and worrying, this episode is for you. We’re talking about hypervigilance being on high alert all the time and how it’s interfering with your fertility. From disrupted hormone signaling to suppressed ovulation and declining egg quality, chronic stress changes how your body works at a fundamental level. Hypervigilance shows up as: Over-researching and second-guessing every decision Micromanaging protocols or switching supplements often Feeling like no matter how hard you try, it’s never enough This state may feel productive but it’s keeping your nervous system in survival mode. And when your body thinks it’s in danger, it prioritizes protection over reproduction. Fertility isn’t just about what you eat or which supplements you take, it’s also about how your body feels. And the truth is: your reproductive system needs calm to function optimally. Tune in to find out how stress affects egg quality and what to do next on your path to pregnancy. This episode is for you if: Constantly feel like you have to be “on” or in control of your fertility journey - researching, tracking, planning every detail. Struggle to relax or switch off, even when you're doing all the "right" things to support your hormones and egg quality. Have been told your AMH is low or you have diminished ovarian reserve, and you're wondering if stress is playing a bigger role than you thought. In this episode we'll cover: Why chronic stress and hypervigilance disrupt ovulation and hormone balance How high cortisol impacts AMH, egg quality, and IVF outcomes The role of mitochondrial health in egg development and how stress gets in the way Simple somatic practices to calm the nervous system and restore reproductive function How to shift from over-control to trust without losing your sense of agency --- RESOURCES How Perfectionism Affects Fertility and Egg Quality - And What to Do About It:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/is-perfectionism-affecting-your-fertility-how-to-let-go-and-support-egg-health-naturally?_pos=1&_sid=d6bf4d95b&_ss=r IVF Prep with Low AMH: Boosting Your Chances for Success: https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/ivf-prep-with-low-amh-boosting-your-chances-for-success-1?_pos=1&_sid=462c4eac8&_ss=r AMH Diet – Start This Today to Support Fertility & Get Pregnant This Year:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/amh-diet-start-this-today-to-support-fertility-get-pregnant-this-year?_pos=4&_sid=b64c3e6f1&_ss=r Success Story: POI at 27 and Pregnant:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/education/success-story-poi-at-27-and-pregnant?_pos=1&_sid=125e01ba3&_ss=r Our favorite fertility tracker (use code FABFERTILE15 to save 15) - https://www.inito.com/en-us/?srsltid=AfmBOoo85sXu_esmFN5Kz6iysaTkBKgYl35Jubv-BaLkkxXVggdk6nes Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/ Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii Not sure where to start?

We’re diving into the oral microbiome and how your mouth could be impacting both egg and sperm quality. Could what’s happening in your mouth be impacting your fertility? In this episode, we dive into the surprising connection between your oral microbiome and reproductive health. From silent gum inflammation to the role of mouth breathing, you’ll learn how your oral health can influence everything from egg quality and implantation to gut balance and sperm DNA. We’re breaking down practical steps—like dental cleanings, gentle oral care, and smart toothpaste swaps—that can make a real difference on your fertility journey. If you’re trying to conceive and looking for overlooked but powerful strategies, this one’s for you. 💫 This episode is for you: 💔 You’ve experienced canceled cycles, poor egg quality, or miscarriage and no one’s given you a clear explanation why. 📈 You’re preparing for your next egg retrieval or transfer and want to make sure you’re doing everything you can to optimize your chances of success. 🦷 You have bleeding gums, recurring cavities, or gingivitis—and you’re wondering what that has to do with egg quality and fertility. In this episode you'll learn: Why oral inflammation is often silent—but still disrupts fertility How male fertility is also impacted by oral bacteria Practical (and gentle!) oral care strategies that support reproductive health The surprising link between mouth breathing, sleep quality, and hormone signaling --- RESOURCES 1. Oral Health and Male Fertility Study: "Periodontal disease and semen quality in infertile men" (2016) Findings: This study demonstrated a significant association between periodontal disease and poor semen quality, including lower sperm count, motility, and morphology. The study suggests that inflammation from oral infections can negatively impact male fertility. Reference: Journal of Periodontology (2016), DOI: 10.1902/jop.2016.160118. Study: "The association between periodontal disease and male infertility: A systematic review" (2019) Findings: This systematic review concluded that there is a significant correlation between periodontal disease and male infertility, with findings indicating that gum disease can impact sperm quality and DNA fragmentation. Reference: Human Reproduction Update (2019), DOI: 10.1093/humupd/dmz009. 2. Oral Health and Female Fertility Study: "Periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis" (2010) Findings: This meta-analysis found that periodontal disease is associated with an increased risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, and miscarriage. The study suggested that periodontal treatment could reduce these risks in pregnant women. Reference: American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology (2010), DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2010.01.020. Study: "Periodontal disease and pregnancy: A review" (2013) Findings: This review explored how oral bacteria can contribute to preterm birth and other pregnancy complications, emphasizing the need for better oral health care during pregnancy to optimize outcomes. Reference: Journal of the American Dental Association (2013), DOI: 10.14219/jada.archive.2013.0187. 3. Oral Pathogens and Systemic Inflammation Study: "Oral bacteria in seminal fluid and male infertility" (2019) Findings: This study found that oral pathogens like Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum can be detected in seminal fluid, suggesting that these bacteria can travel from the mouth to the reproductive system and affect sperm quality. Reference: Journal of Clinical Periodontology (2019), DOI: 10.1111/jcpe.13199. 4. Oral Microbiome and Gut Health Study: "The oral microbiome and its impact on systemic disease: A review" (2018) Findings: This review examined how oral dysbiosis (imbalance of oral bacteria) contributes to systemic inflammation, which could negatively affect gut health, immune function, and fertility.
