Fertility and Nutrition with Rachelle Mallik
How many old wives’ tales have you heard about nutrition and fertility? More importantly, how often have doctors told you that intentional weight loss will miraculously improve your IVF outcomes? If you’re even slightly “overweight” and experiencing fertility issues, it’s common for doctors to subtly (or not so subtly) suggest you “lose a little weight” as a solution. However, this outdated advice is based on research that isn’t clear-cut. Intentional weight loss isn’t the magic solution for better IVF outcomes. Who knew? More nuanced food and movement changes (if any at all) might actually be more beneficial. But hey, why have clarity when you can have mixed messages?

It’s like there’s an invisible line, and folks tend to stick to their side, often mocking the other without really engaging in meaningful dialogue. But reality isn’t that black and white. It’s not just about choosing between nutrition science and having a peaceful relationship with food.
