Ep 28 Is my weight really the cause of my fertility problems with Ellen Louise Naturopath

Part 5 of the fertility series we explore the crucial link between weight and fertility. 🏋️‍♀️🤰

Many people are told by their doctors that their weight is the reason they are not falling pregnant, but what does this really mean? And is it actually true?

In this episode, I outline essential hormonal tests and nutritional assessments, and provide practical tips for healthy weight for pregnancy.

We delve into the impact of: 💓 both overweight and underweight conditions on hormonal balance and reproductive health 🐣 highlighting how body fat influences oestrogen production and ovulation. 🌸 We discuss the connection between excess body fat, insulin resistance, and PCOS, and how hormonal imbalances can lead to ovulation problems. 🌱 Additionally, we cover hypothalamic amenorrhea, a condition caused by low body fat and extreme dieting or excessive intense exercise, which disrupts hormonal production and ovulation. Please remember as always - proper testing is ESSENTIAL! Do not take the advice that weight is causing your fertility issues if you have had no testing done!!!

You may end up wasting a lot of time and money and effort with no results.

Tune in to learn how to enhance your fertility journey with accurate diagnosis and professional guidance.
