I do have patients who eat it every day.

And so we want to really leverage other protein-based sources.

We already talked about plant-based protein, but fish is underutilized, even in Texas, right?

It has a lot of a great omega-3 fatty acids in it.

It doesn't have some of the trans fats that we see and the saturated fat and some of the other animal products.

So swapping out some of that red meat for fish, if we like to consume animal-based meats, can be one way that we can get to those protein goals in a more nutritious way.

Let's talk about toxins.

Mary Claire, when I was in my fellowship, still going through my infertility, I started meeting with my program director about my fellowship project.

And we have to have a thesis.

So you have to be published in a journal and you have to defend it at your REI oral boards.

So just like you have to go through your surgical cases and your others, you get an entire hour and a half to talk about your research project.

And most people do an IVF project.

And I wanted to do something that related to natural fertility, why some people get pregnant and why others don't.

And I started studying endocrine disrupting chemicals with the EPA.

looking at ovarian reserve, time to get pregnancy, and thyroid levels, and diving into the data, looking at endocrine disruptors, chemicals that either mimic or block or change.

Essentially, they're interfering with the walkie-talkies one way or another, and many of them impact your gut health and cause inflammation directly.

what they do to your fertility.

This was well over 10 years ago, and I was alarmed by what I was reading.

Not just suggestive data, but things like PFCs, perfluorinated chemicals, forever chemicals that come out of plants, leach into our soil and our water.
