Episode notes
Folate for Fertility
- Prioritize folate-rich foods like beef liver, spinach, kale, and black-eyed peas for fertility.
- Consider supplementing with methylfolate for optimal DNA expression and methylation.
Omega-3s for Reproductive Health
- Consume omega-3 fats from sources like salmon, mackerel, sardines, and herring (the "smash" fish).
- Plant-based sources like walnuts and flax seeds are less effective, consider algae-based DHA for vegans.
Magnesium and Insulin Sensitivity
- Eat magnesium-rich foods for enzyme function, hormone balance, and insulin sensitivity.
- Correcting insulin resistance, often through diet, can significantly improve fertility, especially in PCOS cases.
