The Truth About Diet, Weight & Fertility  While there are many factors that affect fertility, diet is one of the few things that we can modify. Various nutritious dietary patterns have been linked to improved natural conception and fertility treatment outcomes, and none of those diets restricts gluten, soy, dairy, or specific food groups. For those who are trying to conceive, or who are pregnant, postpartum, breastfeeding or managing conditions such as PCOS and endometriosis, dietary and lifestyle changes may help support healthy outcomes. But what does the research show about weight and fertility outcomes?  Tune into this episode to learn about: ·       Why nutrition for fertility matters ·       Research on weight and fertility outcomes ·       BMI cutoffs for egg retrieval procedures requiring anesthesia ·       Research on dietary patterns and fertility outcomes ·       Fertility and disordered eating ·       Benefits of a weight-inclusive approach ·       Why working with a dietitian with experience in fertility is important ·       Rachelle’s 1:1 services and online course Full shownotes, transcript and resources at: https://soundbitesrd.com/256
