so so true, various key things helped me to get pregnant, I defied all odds was told I was never supossed to have any children with stage 3 endo and the damage it had done to my body, but I got my miracle daughter, she is 13 now. I am truly blessed sending love to all those on a fertility journey xx
If I don’t get pregnant this month I’m doing everything I possibly can so my body is healthy and fertile. As well as getting my s/o vitamins and trying to get him to eat a little healthier. I just want to be pregnant more than anything. Especially after having an ectopic pregnancy I need to make sure my body is beyond healthy.
@@maiagrace7765 thanks but no thanks. Manifestation is from the devil and doesn’t work. Has brought nothing but bad luck toward my way. And recently when I let Jesus into my life things started to go as planned. Only God knows when my time to be a mother will come. God Bless.
Your channel is honestly a breath of fresh air! You explain things in such a thorough and detailed way, without confusing the audience with complicated medical jargon. Thank you!
You are the BEST. I had a chemical nearly 10 years ago and then I got pregnant and had a mc at 6 weeks to the day. Devastated barely touches how I felt. I was unable to concieve for YEARS. You are such a ray of hope for me. I'm 37 and am seeing a doctor next week to look deeper into my fertility. I am primarily vegetarian, but was vegan for 6 years. I was eating complete crap for the last few years and gained 30 pounds. I am now on a weight loss fertility journey and I am going back to my wfpb self and it feels so good. I'm trying not to lose hope in this journey as I am nearing 38 in March 2025. Thank you for discussing diet. Your videos are so insightful and I am so grateful to have come across your channel.
I'm sorry for your loss. I've had a few mc before. The best advice I can give is to get checked out, lose weight, eat well, and don't think about it. It will only stress you out.
@missink1728 aw thank you so much for that. I have a lot 30 lbs. to lose and you just gave me that extra push..truly I appreciate your kind words.❤️ I’m sorry for your losses too.

Thank you so much for making fertility information more accessible to all of us. Thank you. I have a comment/question. Fertility doctors all agree that maternal age is, hands down, the main factor affecting embryo/egg quality. Stanford just released a very interesting twin study on nutrition. They compared a healthy vegan diet to a healthy omnivore diet (similar to a Mediterranean diet). After only 8 weeks, the vegans had decreased their biological age while the omnivores continued to age as usual (as measured by the size of the telomeres at the end of the DNA strands). Am I the only one thinking this is an incredible AMAZING finding?!!! If we can decrease our biological age in any way, would that not have an impact on the quality of our eggs? Eggs are cells in our bodies after all, maybe we can, to some extent of course, make our eggs behave like younger eggs by eating even healthier? I know this is all theoretical, but it sure made me feel empowered and gave me a lot of hope when I heard about this amazing, measured, result of decreased biological age after just 8 weeks eating this way. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
"There's nothing shocking in here" applies to a lot of things in life. Personal finance, spend less than you earn. Weight loss, eat less calories than you expend. Pregnancy lifestyle, what's good for the body is good for the egg.
I subbed after hearing you are pushing Plant Based. I was diagnosed 28 years ago with PCOS when it was Super New, and my Gyno was up on the latest info.. I did the low carb thing with weights for 10 years, lost weight, hair stopped falling out, facial hair remained, but my period was black. I switched eventually over time to Plant based, and my period at 48 is beautiful, and if I start eating meat regular, my hair pulls out again and I get huge PMS! Great channel, thanks!
she is so smart. Loved listneing to her. Not trying to get pregnant btw. Good stuff that MDs are hopping on yt and helping ordinary people for free. Cheers to that
Awesome video! Thank you so much Dr. Crawford. This is the most incredible information I have ever received on fertility. I have seen a few in recent years. You were able to cover so many topics and answered most of my questions in one video. I really appreciate it.
I was vegan for 5 years before I got pregnant. I had the easiest pregnancy ever, legit zero complications/negative symptoms. My son was 90th percentile! I think eating so healthy made me feel great during my pregnancy.
Quite often see unhealthy looking, often smoking, overweight undernourished people/couples with loads of children and seemingly no problem with fertility.. Many often low income families or those on some monetry support ... What if the stress of working is the issue?
I had a high school sweetheart/fiancé that I lived with from age 21-27. IObviously a very fertile time.. however never got preggo even though I’m only 125lbs, plant based & exercise. I got preggo when I increased my milk intake. I drank at least 8oz full fat milk either alone & cereal. Hope this helps someone.
I think over all people are forgetting that if we do not eat a well-balanced or well-rounded diet then there is a high chance we are not getting all the essential nutrients we need. For instance, Vit. D is very important in fertility, right? Well, whole dairy sources and grass-fed beef (or products like butter or milk) are great sources for that. Honestly, I am striving to balance my diet out more and increase more veggies but avoid cutting out too much meat because I know it serves a purpose. The real question is how much is too much, I think.
I’m on a low-histamine diet after my Mast Cell Activation Syndrome diagnosis. I noticed that when I went on this diet, not only did my allergies drastically improve but so did my cycles! And I started noticing clear ovulation! My husband and I are TTC our first baby after 7 years of marriage. I’m 38 and he’s 53. On our first month of trying, (January 2022) I got pregnant straight away! Unfortunately, I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks. But here we are on month 2 and TTC, again! Hope this helps someone especially if you have inflammation in your body. I’m also on Low Dose Naltrexone. If you’ve had previous miscarriages, I highly recommend you looking into this medication! You’ll be able to find research on RUclips also.
Also lost my baby at 6 weeks last week and will start trying again in two weeks, let's update each other if one of us gets pregnant first lol the challenge is on fingers crossed, pray for us people
@@Loveandkindness33 thank you very much, I never thought that a miscarriage will make me feel so lonely and sad but it really did especially when I went to the market last week and bought a cute overall and had to give it away, it was tough
@@Loveandkindness33 I'd love to know what Naltrexone does for you! I'm on it for other reasons, but I'm curious what it's doing for you before/during pregnancy? All I can find is use for opiod use disorder (I previously used it for weight loss).
Thank-you so much for your life-changing content Dr. Crawford! I was wondering how much protein a plant-based PCOS woman should eat/day for optimal fertility?
I have pcos and a couple years ago went plant based. I got pregnant for the first time and have birth to a healthy baby girl. My lifestyle changes really helped me with weight and conceiving
@@maddiejcollie7708 before I got pregnant I ate a vegetarian diet. Mostly veggies, fruits, tea, water, no meat or seafood for over a year, occasional coffee, less sugar too
What a waste of time this video was… gives tons of recommendations based on epidemiological data, redefines what ‘plant-based’ means, recommends against eating red meat (iron, hello???), totally forgoes mentioning choline, and recommends plant-based protein sources over animal based, even though from a DIAAS perspective, micronutrient, perspective, and total protein quantity perspective, plant-based protein sources are inferior.
Thank you so much for this video! I’m whole food plant-based, and you’ve corroborated my research! So many books, physicians, and experts push meat, dairy, and eggs for fertility. I make sure to get all the vitamins and nutrients I need, and I include soy 😊. I love your content so much! I appreciate your research!!
I’ve always wanted a baby, a child, to be a parent, to experience nurturing a persons growth and having a family that laughs and plays and has real talks and takes vacations and has healthy boundaries and good jobs and values and doggies and some kind of Christmas party where everyone and anyone we can get our hands on comes and we just blow the house down for Jesus (I’m Wiccan but you know). Anyway, I’m 30 and I’m thinking back on my life and I wonder If I’ve always been infertile and I am so worried now
@ it’s literally all I eat . Look up Dr. Anthony Chafee and Dr. Ken Berry. It’s a thing and it’s an amazing way to eat. I’m trying to get pregnant with my fourth and if I do I plan to eat this way during pregnancy
Im a pescatarian and am trying to get pregnant. I eat fish everyday-do you not recommend this in trying to get pregnant naturally? (not IVF) I’m open to switching to adding chicken if you believe this will help in getting pregnant.
thank you! I am vegan for 4 years now and have idiopathic infertility. We are trying to get pregnant for 2 years now and I really started to think that maybe my diet is the problem, even though I eat a wole food vegan diet, with normal fat intake (mostly healthy fats) and take zinc, b12, D3, Foliate and Iron supplements. you really calmed me
Hi friend! (I listen to you so much that I feel that you are one!) You mentioned that we should take at least 1000iu of Vit D. My gynae recommended 5000iu, do you think that's too much? Thank you!
Great video, thank you. Could you maybe talk about weight and pregnancy correlation. I lost a few kg actually involuntary due to increase in exercising. My doctor commented on me being underweight according to my BMI but my body fat still seems fine according to him. Sould I try to put on some kilos to improve my fertility? Or is the body fat ratio more important? Most sources I found online talk about being overweight and trying to conceive.
Hi there! I currently take Ancestral Supplements - I interchange b/w their desiccated liver supplement and iron supplement with blood and desiccated organs. You mentioned red meat isn't ideal for fertility, so does this mean these supps should also be avoided?
Hi! I was taking a very low dose of Vit D and then had labs drawn and my level was 117. I don't think there is a pre-natal vitamin that does not contain Vit D. What do you recommend in this situation?
Could you please talk about PMDD and what to expect when pregnant if you have it ? I have been diagnosed for years and I just started trying to conceive and I have no idea what to expect. Thank you for the amazing helpful content ❤️
PCOS (i feel) is not helpful with plant-based diets. Hungry an hour later or 2. I will be mindful to eat more salmon and chicken now. I feel that bone-in ribeye does not inflame me. It seems to all be about what oils these meat products are being cooked/prepared in. No problems eating beef if I use coconut, avocado, or olive oil.
I have PCOS and have to eat vegetarian (I have a condition that makes me over-absorb iron so I avoid heme iron) I had the opposite problem. There's so much fiber in a vegetarian diet that I struggle to get enough calories in. I'm on metformin now and that actually seems to help make me hungrier so I can get enough calories, but still I have like 2 meals a day and a small snack and I'm usually satisfied 🤷🏼♀️
Taking advice from people who have that same condition and still are suffering from it seems a bit crazy. Nothing that they have tried has cured them but they are willing to share their failure. Forget about everything you have learned from the liars who took money from the plant and sugar producers and go to a meat based diet. It will be painful at first because you have to kick out the gut bacteria that's responsible for all the inflammation and PCOS. Your gut,skin and joints will thank you within a few months. The changes to all your organs and being able to sleep soundly will amaze you. Then slowly the brain fog will start to lift and you will get angry. I know,the anger I had and still am experiencing.Not so hard to understand because they made themselves rich and prosperous at the expense of so many lost lives and suffering .You will realize that all the pain and suffering these liars have caused to humans around the world for the last century is continuing to this day.All these diseases could not happen without a concerted effort from the processed foods in coherts with the drug and medical organizations. When the American Diabetes Ass. recommends a lot of sugar and sugar inducing foods you know that they are not really trying to get anyone cured. This doctor is just a small cog in a giant machine put together to keep everyone on the drug merrygo round. Keep eating that "ballanced diet" and us doctors will give you drugs for that pain and obesity and later that diabetes,heart disease and cancer.
Very helpful! I've been taking Vitamin D3 + K2 for more than 3 months and my result is still at the minimum level, it hasn't increased at all. What could be the reason, what should I do? I am with Hashimoto's
I don't have a gallbladder and let me tell you, Keto was a WRECK for me! I should've never tried it. I ended up gaining 18 lbs, *in a little over a month* such a mistake lol! Never again. Low card, Paleo ish/ Anti-inflammatory diet is my absolute favorite. And limiting wine.
Great Video as always..Thank you so much Natalie. I'm 37 TTC and battling Fibroids..I switched to vegan diet completely after my Gyno said my uterus has to be removed as my 2 fivroids are 14 cm...I chose a natural approach instead :)
Dr. C Do you have advice please on ALA such as flaxseeds for Omega-3? …I learned some people process and absorb it better than others but other than it being possibly inefficient gains, does it do any harm for inflammation and fertility or help to have ALA seed oils? …your thoughts? :-)
organic blackstrap molasses has helped me with my iron levels a lot! 1 tbl spoon every morning. Does not taste that great but you will get used to it :)
Hi Natalie me and partner are desperate to conceive, I’m currently 41 and partner is 44. We are due to do our 2nd round of ivf, I take a prenatal and vit D, partner takes zinc and vit D, are these ok jelly gummie form for him… are they just as effective as tablets. Please 🙏 help.
Hi mam gone through misgarrage 6months back now again we are trying it is not happening...now am start intermittent fasting is it good or not please suggest
Thank you so much for this! I have a question about vitamin A as a vegan.. I am a 33 year old vegan TTC for 3 months... I was just reading that veganism could have a negative impact on fertility and fetal develop because of possible vitamin deficiencies. Most that were mentioned are covered by my prenatal which includes vitamin D and Iodine. I also take a B12 supplement. However, the study I was reading was stating that Vitamin A deficiencies could be very harmful and that the only real way to remedy them is to eat animal products as it is harmful to supplement vitamin A during pregnancy! Thoughts?? Thank you so much!!
Hello Doctor, I have PCOS, do you recommend to try innositol and d-chiro? I listened to your podcast and I know that you don’t recommend vitex. Thank You for your content.
@@NatalieCrawfordMD mam I am from India i was pregnant for the first time 2 years ago..but i didn't want baby so i ate unwanted kit medicine...next time i can get pregnant
I agree great info, but some parts of the video almost sounds like you were in rewind mode literally, just really difficult to understand what you were saying at some points during the video
I’m not a doctor but I have done my research and folic acid is technically the synthetic form of Folate. Folate is the nature and best form we should all be taking especially if one has a gene in their genetic makeup that is hard to chelate and break down the synthetic Folic acid. I would encourage you to look up this information yourself 😊. Knowledge is power. Best wishes to you.
I have PCOS. I was lacto vegetarian for 35 years. And mostly plant based as an adult. Lots of vegan friends etc. I had a child in my early 20’s but my PCOS progressed and became very severe. My mental health deteriorated. I have recently included some chicken and fish. Which is taboo and against my religion but I haven’t felt this good in my life. At first it caused euphoria even. I am just giving it a go, it’s really tough, I love lots of fruits and vegetables but I feel like these isn’t much support for people like me coming from a plant based upbringing to make the opposite changes. It really can help paradoxically.
Mental illness is the first step in founding a religion it would appear. Eating nothing but plants will anchor that mental illness and keep the converts dumb and compliant.
This is a fantastic video! I just recently got diagnosed with PCOS at 26 and so this video as well as your PCOS video have been great for my research! How many grams of fish and dairy would you recommend in a week?
I'm O+ as well Having RH positive blood type is Great thing you won't need a shot when you get pregnant. That's only for woman with RH Negative blood type. Blood type does not affect fertility it's just woman with RH Negative have to get a shot so their blood doesn't harm the baby.
Just a note about soy: It's estrogenic. If you have endometriosis, soy is not good for endo. It could possibly cause it to run amok. I have endometriosis and soy always caused me stomach pain so I avoid it. I was still able to conceive naturally at 31 and 33. I'm now 43 and hoping to have one more baby soonish with a new husband.
You know, I'm starting to wonder if there are studies that show a difference in overall or optimal health for people that ate with their actual ancestors ate. Not the caveman diet or paleo or whatever, but instead foods that our family thrived on. If they were healthy, that is. I have a hard time thinking that everyone does well on a plant-based diet. If you consider that there are some communities that eat almost only animal products and they are seemingly healthy. Does the gut microbiome have something to do with that? We know there is a genetic component to our microbiome and that it has a large role in breaking down and processing the foods we ingest. For instance, people who grew up eating rice for generations as a staple being told to stop eating rice and start eating sweet potatoes as a replacement may not process the potatoes as well as they processed the rice. IDK. There seems like there would be some merit to that.
Golly gosh you speak quickly!! So if I were to make all of these changes today, how long would it be before l would have an improvement in my fertility?
Great video, thank you! What about melatonin? I read a paper that said that melatonin can afect fertility, is it true? Again, thank you very much for your work here! 🍀🌟✨
That is correct. Melatonin can help if difficulty sleeping - but at doses of over 3 mg it can actually lead to difficulty ovulating! So take only if needed and not too much
@@maiagrace7765 Hey are you TTC? It seems like you’re looking for someone to reach out to, I’m TTC for 2 years now, I’m young and married but still having problems. What’s your story?
You cant go on size with fish, many keystone species look smaller than some "bottom of the food chain" fish. Know species-- most white fish are bottom feeders or else eat other bottom feeders (pollock, cod, halibut).
I agree with this. The estrogen disrupters and inflammatory substances she speaks of comes from bad quality red meat. Grass-fed red meat is very good for you

I make sure to get all the vitamins and nutrients I need, and I include soy 😊. I love your content so much! I appreciate your research!!

Thank you for the information! I would love to have more information on choline. What's your take on it?
Are you TTC ?
What fish should we eat to improve our egg quality?
I am diabetes trying to get pregnant.. it so hard..
Just now change my diet and workout
Try myo inositol + D-chiro inositol. Look up some videos on it for fertility
I’ve always wanted a baby, a child, to be a parent, to experience nurturing a persons growth and having a family that laughs and plays and has real talks and takes vacations and has healthy boundaries and good jobs and values and doggies and some kind of Christmas party where everyone and anyone we can get our hands on comes and we just blow the house down for Jesus (I’m Wiccan but you know).
Anyway, I’m 30 and I’m thinking back on my life and I wonder If I’ve always been infertile and I am so worried now
Y’all listen to her it works for real for me personally went completely plant based and lost 35lbs so far.. along with other medical benefits.
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!

Can you take folic acid and vitamins D together
Very helpful and informative!
Glad it was helpful!
You should go carnivore, preferably only beef, water, and salt. It helped me get pregnant with my last. I have three kids.
What do you mean only beef, water and salt? Like that’s all you eat ever? Or just for dinner?
@ it’s literally all I eat . Look up Dr. Anthony Chafee and Dr. Ken Berry. It’s a thing and it’s an amazing way to eat. I’m trying to get pregnant with my fourth and if I do I plan to eat this way during pregnancy
Wow thanks so much for the advice!!! My fertility Dr also recc’s carnivore. So this is reassuring.

Im a pescatarian and am trying to get pregnant. I eat fish everyday-do you not recommend this in trying to get pregnant naturally? (not IVF) I’m open to switching to adding chicken if you believe this will help in getting pregnant.
thank you! I am vegan for 4 years now and have idiopathic infertility. We are trying to get pregnant for 2 years now and I really started to think that maybe my diet is the problem, even though I eat a wole food vegan diet, with normal fat intake (mostly healthy fats) and take zinc, b12, D3, Foliate and Iron supplements. you really calmed me
what a shitty diet if you need supplements lmao. Malnutrition and toxic at its finest.
I had to vegan pregnancies at age 34 and 37. Normal deliveries, healthy beautiful babies. Your diet is fine!
This is some of the worst if not most dangerous advice given to women.
you are an amazing DR
Wow, thank you
Hi friend! (I listen to you so much that I feel that you are one!) You mentioned that we should take at least 1000iu of Vit D. My gynae recommended 5000iu, do you think that's too much? Thank you!
If your doctor recommends more - then do more! Minimum 1000 for my patients (then some need more)
Nice video.. Good info.. can make a video on diet for hypothyroidism.. thanks
Great video, thank you. Could you maybe talk about weight and pregnancy correlation. I lost a few kg actually involuntary due to increase in exercising. My doctor commented on me being underweight according to my BMI but my body fat still seems fine according to him. Sould I try to put on some kilos to improve my fertility? Or is the body fat ratio more important?
Most sources I found online talk about being overweight and trying to conceive.

Does Hypothyrodism affect getting pregnant? What could we do about it?
Hi there! I currently take Ancestral Supplements - I interchange b/w their desiccated liver supplement and iron supplement with blood and desiccated organs. You mentioned red meat isn't ideal for fertility, so does this mean these supps should also be avoided?
Hi! I was taking a very low dose of Vit D and then had labs drawn and my level was 117. I don't think there is a pre-natal vitamin that does not contain Vit D. What do you recommend in this situation?
Could you please talk about PMDD and what to expect when pregnant if you have it ? I have been diagnosed for years and I just started trying to conceive and I have no idea what to expect.
Thank you for the amazing helpful content ❤️
Yes I have a few patients doing treatments just to try and minimize worsening PMDD during conception - great video idea!
Hi Natalie my name is Jessica I am having trouble getting pregnant I am taking CONCEPTION Capsule FOR HER
You said that you should stay away from fish and referenced tuna, is that consensus the same for trout or salmon?
PCOS (i feel) is not helpful with plant-based diets. Hungry an hour later or 2. I will be mindful to eat more salmon and chicken now. I feel that bone-in ribeye does not inflame me. It seems to all be about what oils these meat products are being cooked/prepared in. No problems eating beef if I use coconut, avocado, or olive oil.
I have PCOS and do not have this issue. I eat a lot of chickpeas and lentils. These always keep my full.
I have PCOS and have to eat vegetarian (I have a condition that makes me over-absorb iron so I avoid heme iron)
I had the opposite problem. There's so much fiber in a vegetarian diet that I struggle to get enough calories in. I'm on metformin now and that actually seems to help make me hungrier so I can get enough calories, but still I have like 2 meals a day and a small snack and I'm usually satisfied 🤷🏼♀️
Taking advice from people who have that same condition and still are suffering from it seems a bit crazy. Nothing that they have tried has cured them but they are willing to share their failure. Forget about everything you have learned from the liars who took money from the plant and sugar producers and go to a meat based diet. It will be painful at first because you have to kick out the gut bacteria that's responsible for all the inflammation and PCOS. Your gut,skin and joints will thank you within a few months. The changes to all your organs and being able to sleep soundly will amaze you. Then slowly the brain fog will start to lift and you will get angry. I know,the anger I had and still am experiencing.Not so hard to understand because they made themselves rich and prosperous at the expense of so many lost lives and suffering .You will realize that all the pain and suffering these liars have caused to humans around the world for the last century is continuing to this day.All these diseases could not happen without a concerted effort from the processed foods in coherts with the drug and medical organizations. When the American Diabetes Ass. recommends a lot of sugar and sugar inducing foods you know that they are not really trying to get anyone cured. This doctor is just a small cog in a giant machine put together to keep everyone on the drug merrygo round. Keep eating that "ballanced diet" and us doctors will give you drugs for that pain and obesity and later that diabetes,heart disease and cancer.
Thank you so much for doing this video. It’s one of the most informative I have found yet 🙏

What is a prenatal that has methylated folate?
I don't have a gallbladder and let me tell you, Keto was a WRECK for me! I should've never tried it. I ended up gaining 18 lbs, *in a little over a month* such a mistake lol! Never again. Low card, Paleo ish/ Anti-inflammatory diet is my absolute favorite. And limiting wine.
💯!! So excited a doctor who knows the proper info about nutrition! Love you!

Dr. C Do you have advice please on ALA such as flaxseeds for Omega-3? …I learned some people process and absorb it better than others but other than it being possibly inefficient gains, does it do any harm for inflammation and fertility or help to have ALA seed oils? …your thoughts? :-)
What if I always have a low feritin and iron levels, doctor told me to have more red meat and its not good for fertility😬
Beef lamb turkey and chicken is good also a egg in the morning.
organic blackstrap molasses has helped me with my iron levels a lot! 1 tbl spoon every morning. Does not taste that great but you will get used to it :)
Spirulina is the best and most absorbable protein and its plant based. It helps iron enormously 🤍
Is RED WINE good for increasing uterine lining? how much should a person drink?
😂 are you crazy? Alcohol is bad for pregnancy.
What about Brazil Nuts? 2-3 a day but can you use them after transfer too?

Thank you so much for this! I have a question about vitamin A as a vegan..
I am a 33 year old vegan TTC for 3 months... I was just reading that veganism could have a negative impact on fertility and fetal develop because of possible vitamin deficiencies. Most that were mentioned are covered by my prenatal which includes vitamin D and Iodine. I also take a B12 supplement. However, the study I was reading was stating that Vitamin A deficiencies could be very harmful and that the only real way to remedy them is to eat animal products as it is harmful to supplement vitamin A during pregnancy! Thoughts?? Thank you so much!!
Cant we eat lots of betcarotene? Like carrots, sweet potato, broccoli to get vitamin A?
Hello Doctor, I have PCOS, do you recommend to try innositol and d-chiro? I listened to your podcast and I know that you don’t recommend vitex. Thank You for your content.

Hello. Please I just want to if flaxseed increases fibroids. Because am having infertility problems.
Just a question, how do carbohydrates have fatty acids?
Am planing to get pregnant can I start to take the folic acid en what type of folic acid I should take? thank doc.
I’m not a doctor but I have done my research and folic acid is technically the synthetic form of Folate. Folate is the nature and best form we should all be taking especially if one has a gene in their genetic makeup that is hard to chelate and break down the synthetic Folic acid. I would encourage you to look up this information yourself 😊. Knowledge is power. Best wishes to you.
I’m a diabetic I’m try get pregnant but my tubes are tired up can I do IVF or something else?
Is lower sugar oatmeal okay for breakfast?
I have PCOS. I was lacto vegetarian for 35 years. And mostly plant based as an adult. Lots of vegan friends etc. I had a child in my early 20’s but my PCOS progressed and became very severe. My mental health deteriorated. I have recently included some chicken and fish. Which is taboo and against my religion but I haven’t felt this good in my life. At first it caused euphoria even. I am just giving it a go, it’s really tough, I love lots of fruits and vegetables but I feel like these isn’t much support for people like me coming from a plant based upbringing to make the opposite changes. It really can help paradoxically.
Mental illness is the first step in founding a religion it would appear. Eating nothing but plants will anchor that mental illness and keep the converts dumb and compliant.

How do you know if it's in the prenatal?
Check the composition. Every components written there.
Can you please do a video about blood type and fertility? Is this a myth? So much conflicting research. I’m type O+.
I'm O+ as well Having RH positive blood type is Great thing you won't need a shot when you get pregnant. That's only for woman with RH Negative blood type. Blood type does not affect fertility it's just woman with RH Negative have to get a shot so their blood doesn't harm the baby.

Just a note about soy: It's estrogenic. If you have endometriosis, soy is not good for endo. It could possibly cause it to run amok. I have endometriosis and soy always caused me stomach pain so I avoid it. I was still able to conceive naturally at 31 and 33. I'm now 43 and hoping to have one more baby soonish with a new husband.
Wishing you all the best! I’m 36 and also desire to be pregnant. You’re comments gives me hope. Best wishes to you!❤

Hi, i love your videos. Could you please make some videos on uterine fibroids, how to prevent them to grow and treatment options for fertility? Thanks
Great idea. Will add to the list, thank you!!
You know, I'm starting to wonder if there are studies that show a difference in overall or optimal health for people that ate with their actual ancestors ate. Not the caveman diet or paleo or whatever, but instead foods that our family thrived on. If they were healthy, that is. I have a hard time thinking that everyone does well on a plant-based diet. If you consider that there are some communities that eat almost only animal products and they are seemingly healthy. Does the gut microbiome have something to do with that? We know there is a genetic component to our microbiome and that it has a large role in breaking down and processing the foods we ingest. For instance, people who grew up eating rice for generations as a staple being told to stop eating rice and start eating sweet potatoes as a replacement may not process the potatoes as well as they processed the rice. IDK. There seems like there would be some merit to that.
I have 2 children already youngest 8. Wanted more but found fibroids in uterus and affected my health.
Golly gosh you speak quickly!!
So if I were to make all of these changes today, how long would it be before l would have an improvement in my fertility?
Great video, thank you! What about melatonin? I read a paper that said that melatonin can afect fertility, is it true? Again, thank you very much for your work here! 🍀🌟✨
That is correct. Melatonin can help if difficulty sleeping - but at doses of over 3 mg it can actually lead to difficulty ovulating! So take only if needed and not too much

You cant go on size with fish, many keystone species look smaller than some "bottom of the food chain" fish. Know species-- most white fish are bottom feeders or else eat other bottom feeders (pollock, cod, halibut).
Red meat, makes a great difference if it's corn fed or mais fed :), not confinced of any research if it doesn't contain this detail.
I agree with this. The estrogen disrupters and inflammatory substances she speaks of comes from bad quality red meat. Grass-fed red meat is very good for you
