Link for free initial consult with my team! https://link.tcycoaching.com/widget/form/4jw1fq4XOV1ikqp9WBOI   If you’re trying to conceive (or you want to optimize your hormones), your diet can either work for you or against you. In this video, I’m sharing exactly what I’m eating right now while actively trying to conceive, and why my approach completely changed after years of low-calorie, low-fat dieting from a bodybuilding background. Here’s the truth: your body won’t prioritize reproduction if it doesn’t feel safe or resourced. Your sex hormones are built from the raw materials in your food, especially cholesterol and dietary fat. If you’re under-eating (especially fat and protein), overtraining, or living in chronic stress, your body can down-regulate ovulation and progesterone production even if your labs look “fine.” In this video we cover: Why dietary fat matters for hormone production, ovulation, and a healthy luteal phase My fertility staples right now (and why): grass-fed butter, avocados, salmon, sardines, eggs (yolks), and grass-fed beef Key fertility nutrients that get missed: choline, iodine, zinc, selenium, omega-3s, iron, and folate What I’m intentionally minimizing: seed oils, ultra-processed foods, alcohol, and extreme restriction Why men’s fertility matters too (sperm motility, morphology, DNA fragmentation) and what your husband/partner should focus on nutritionally Why food is powerful, but not the whole story: stress/cortisol, gut health, thyroid, nutrient absorption, and why functional testing can stop the guessing Disclaimer: I’m a Physician Assistant (PA), but this video is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.
