Foods to Avoid if you have Endometriosis
Red meat, coffee, alcohol, dairy, saturated and trans fats, gluten, sugar, soy
Insulin Resistance and PCOS
If you’re struggling to lose weight and you have PCOS the reason is insulin resistance!
Insulin resistance means that your body is no longer able to respond to insulin as it should. Insulin is great when it can actually do its job - when food is consumed and the blood glucose level rises, insulin increases to push glucose into the cells for storage and to make proteins and fats.
What’s the difference between Subfertility and Infertility?
Did you know that 1 in 8 couples are affected by infertility?
Infertility is defined as failure to conceive after 12 months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse under 35 years old, or after six months if over 35 years old.
Subfertility is less commonly discussed but affects almost 1 in 4 couples!
Subfertility is a period of reduced ability to get pregnant. It usually includes women under age 30 who aren't able to get pregnant after six cycles of unprotected sex.
