Whether you're facing fertility challenges or simply curious about how your metabolism affects your health beyond the numbers on the scale, this compelling conversation unraveling the intricate ties between metabolism and fertility is a must-listen!   Joined by Andrea Taylor and Mark Wright, Dr. Emily Cooper explains how stress, nutrition, and even exercise habits can impact fertility—and not just for women. (Men, take note: your sperm count and motility could be at stake with that next grueling workout or high-stress project deadline.)  They also dive into the complex world of hormones, discussing how endocrine disruptors and broken sleep throw your metabolic rhythm — and your chances of conception — off balance.   Throughout it all, our fact-finding hosts bust myths and underscore thorough health evaluations over quick-fix fertility treatments, offering hope and holistic insights to those facing these intimate challenges.  Resources from the episode: Learn more about Fat Science here.   Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedIn.
