Episode notes
Use Sleep Stress And Movement To Lower Insulin
- Improve insulin sensitivity with lifestyle: prioritize sleep, manage stress, and build muscle through regular movement.
- Skeletal muscle uses glucose via insulin-independent pathways, lowering blood glucose and reducing insulin resistance.
Prioritize Fruits Vegetables And Eat The Rainbow
- Eat abundant fruits and vegetables and 'eat the rainbow' to supply fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, and lower inflammation.
- Higher fruit intake was associated with shorter time to pregnancy in studies, so include berries and bananas regularly.
Choose Plant Proteins And Limit Red Meat
- Favor plant-based protein sources like legumes, lentils, beans, and tofu to improve ovulation and fertility odds.
- Limit red meat to about one serving per week and fish to under three times weekly because of AGEs and mercury concerns.
