We do test and then target treatment to try to get you to an optimal level.

But also omega-3 fatty acids are really important in your entire body, but especially in your reproductive years if you might get pregnant.

And I often recommend magnesium for most patients as well.

And then from a fertility standpoint, if you have infertility, there are studies that show that coenzyme Q10 can be highly beneficial when it comes to egg quality.

This is important in our mitochondrial health and for cancer.

the sake of the one question you asked.

Remember, we talked about eggs, we've got our genetic health, which is largely dependent on age, we have our metabolic health, the mitochondria from the egg controls all development for the embryo.

And in fact, the cellular functions for an embryo, the first three days of life solely come from the egg, the male genome doesn't even kick in until day three of embryo life.

So the function of the egg to be able to divide and

do normal cell functions is very important and sometimes we see that reduced in infertility patients and coenzyme q10 is an easy thing we can get over the counter doesn't appear to have any harmful side effects and has potential benefits in some subsets so my infertility patients i add that on wonder all things aging performance strength bone what is the supplement stack for for longevity

Essentially, it's anything in our world that is impacting your body and how it functions.

There's a few different types, right?

So we have endocrine disrupting chemicals.

These are actual toxins in the environment, in cosmetics, our kitchen, our food that change how our endocrine system works, our hormones.

There's also things like microplastics, like you mentioned, which are actually going to deposit in our body and can cause fibrosis even in our ovaries, therefore changing how an organ's

able to respond even if it is given normal hormone signals and then i also lump into this category behavioral toxins right things like alcohol marijuana cigarettes the the choices that are toxic in our world as well so that toxins is kind of a large category there are some toxins you can control you can try to filter your water you can learn what is in your water so that you can say i'm

You know, EWG, this is my zip code.

This is what's in my tap water.

What type of filter might I need to try to have healthier drinking water in my home?
