These are root cause interventions that can really shift fertility outcomes, even when your regular traditional workup looks normal.
Now, I mentioned PCOS earlier, or polycystic ovarian syndrome.
This is a common problem.
It causes a lot of issues.
It causes irregular menstrual cycles, heavy bleeding, can link to obesity, facial hair, loss of scalp hair, acne.
It can be kind of bad.
And it's fundamentally a metabolic problem, an issue of insulin resistance, inflammation, and all these things will affect your hormones.
So the key is basically following what I just said, which is get your blood sugar balanced, get rid of starchy sugar, exercise, strength train, vitamin D, omega-3s.
And there's a particular compound called inositol, particularly D-chironositol or myonositol also can be very helpful in improving.
This is published, I read this 30 years ago in the New England Journal of Medicine.
So well-validated natural compound, you can get it online.
And it's really important.
And I think, you know, getting your blood sugar balance is such a key thing.
And I think we've talked about that a lot already, so I won't go over it, but that's really the fundamental issue here.
Now, when you start getting metabolic health,
then guess what happens?
You start ovulating normally.
You start having more regular cycles.
You can do well.
So I don't have to be cursed with this problem that's forever with PCOS.
