Let’s bust some myths 👇🏽

❌Myth: Carbs cause weight gain.

✅Fact: Not one nutrient, food, or food group causes weight gain.

A healthy diet should include many foods with carbs, because they are our body’s preferred energy source.The key is choose carbohydrates that offer other nutrients, including fiber, vitamins, and minerals—especially when it comes to fertility!

Plus, complex carbohydrates with fiber digest and absorb more slowly than simple carbohydrates, so they can control glucose spikes 🙌🏼

My go-to high quality carbs are:
✔️Whole grains
✔️Organic fruit + vegetables
✔️Beans + lentils

It’s hard to sort nutrition facts from fiction— on social media everyone is an “expert,” but one of the best things you can do is focus on information from credentialed professionals. 🙋🏽‍♀️

Are you afraid of carbs? 👇🏽

You can’t talk about fertility without talking a

You can’t talk about fertility without talking about h20!

Water makes up 50-70% of your body weight, 85% of your blood, 80% of your muscles, and 75% of your brain. It keeps all of your reproductive cells and organs functioning optimally.

➡️ Not drinking enough water results in:

+ Poor egg health. If you are dehydrated your egg won’t have the watery environment it needs to ovulate. 🥚

+ Decreased cervical mucus secretion. This means the you won't have enough mucus to allow the sperm swim towards the egg for fertilization. 🏊

+ Less likelihood of implantation. Hydration is necessary for healthy cell division and metabolism and the cells of the uterine wall must be healthy for the embryo to implant. 💦

There’s some hydration caveats:
👉 Not all water is created equal! Conventional water has heavy metals and environmental toxins 🙅🏽‍♀️For fertility friendly water opt for filtered water — a whole house water filter is a worthwhile investment!

👉Drink half your body weight in ounces but don’t forget to add extra for coffee and tea consumption!

Did you know…

Your gut and brain are very connected to each other? This means HOW you eat can elevate your moods, improve your brain functions, and support mental health.

➡️The goal: eat a high-fiber, more plant-based diet and avoid red-meat + sugar

✨Iron and vitamin deficiencies are big culprits of brain fog, so prioritize nutrient dense veggies like leafy greens! Even just one serving of leafy green vegetables a day can slow the rate of cognitive decline 🧠.

✨ Ever notice how walnuts look like tiny brains? They have a high concentration of DHA, which helps to maintain healthy brain function. A lot of nuts are good sources of antioxidants!

✨Complex carbohydrates, like cracked wheat, chickpeas, & lentils, are preferred brain foods because they provide a slow, sustained supply of glucose. They take longer to metabolize and also are high in the memory-boosting B vitamin, folate!

✨ Probiotic-rich foods like live cultured yogurt and sauerkraut, support your gut health— and gut health is intricately tied to brain function!

Which of these foods are you going to eat more of? 👇🏻
