I can't get pregnant.

Like all these little weird things.

So I took what I knew in fasting and I literally whiteboarded it in my office.

I put down everything I knew about estrogen, everything I knew about progesterone and testosterone.

I looked at it and I was like, oh, wait.

estrogen actually wants us, our glucose to be low.

Estrogen wants, you got to be insulin sensitive.

So the first thing on fertility that anybody struggling with fertility needs to know is if your hemoglobin A1C is high, if it's 5.5 or higher, you got to clean your metabolic system up because you won't make enough estrogen to be able to release an egg.

So you need glucose to be low, insulin to be low to make estrogen.

But the crazy thing is you need glucose to be high to make progesterone, which is why extreme athletes, extreme fasters, extreme dieters can't get pregnant because most of the time their blood sugar gets so low for too long, there's not enough glucose in the system to be able to make progesterone.

Okay, same woman.

Totally different, totally opposing theories.

So what I did is I was like, what if we took a woman that was struggling to get pregnant, we put her into more fasting at the front half of her cycle, and then the back half of her cycle, we didn't have her fast at all, and we actually had her eat healthy carbs, like fruits, vegetables, sweet potatoes, potatoes.

Would that work?

So I started with a member on my team who had a high BMI.

So she was overweight.

She had been trying to get pregnant for over a year.

And her doctor told her it was because she was overweight.

She was never going to get pregnant.

So I said, front half of your cycle, I want you to fast and go keto.
