from Strong with Julie · host Julie

In this episode, I break down what the research SO FAR actually says about strength training and fertility, including:• Why fertility is a whole-system issue, not just an ovulation issue• How muscle and insulin sensitivity indirectly support reproductive health• What studies show about physical activity, IVF, and conception outcomes• Why high volumes of vigorous exercise may work against fertility for some women• The difference between cycle syncing and evidence based auto-regulation• How to structure strength training, cardio, and recovery when fertility is the priorityThis episode is for you if you’re trying to conceive, navigating PCOS or irregular cycles, preparing for IVF, or you simply want to protect your future fertility while staying strong.This is educational, not medical advice, and everything discussed should be personalized with your physician or fertility team!!!!!
