And stay tuned.

I'm doing a podcast with Stanford urologist Michael Eisenberg coming up soon.

That's going to go deep into the problems with sperm and sperm quality in society today and how that's contributing to infertility.

And we're going to get into that.

But right now, we're going to talk about how to help improve your metabolic health, because that's a really important factor.

The fertility diet is an example, but I would go even further.

People can go on the blood sugar solution, 10-day detox diet.

You go to 10daydetox.com.

It's the best way to reset your metabolic health.

And of course, I created it, but it's out of my own practice and experience.

And, you know, what I've learned with patients, I simply write about, I talk about

and I teach about because I want not just my patients to have the benefit, I want everybody to have the benefit.

So balancing your blood sugar is key, getting rid of the starch and sugar, having more protein, having more good fats, having more fiber, lots of phytochemicals, getting your insulin stable, exercising, building muscle, all those things make a profound difference.

And even small changes can make great improvement in ovulation hormone balance.

And PCOS is the most important example of this where women have a lot of infertility when they have polycystic ovarian syndrome, but it's not an ovarian problem.

It's a nutritional problem.

They call it ovarian syndrome, but it's actually nutritional syndrome because it's related to the starch and sugar in our diet.

Okay, so again, not everybody, some small subset of people with PCOS are thin and healthy, but still have this problem.

But for the majority, it's because of our starch and sugar diet.

So what else can you do to improve your quality of eggs, to improve your likelihood of having pregnancy that comes to term?
