How does weight impact fertility? In this episode of Fertile Talks, Dr. Oluyemisi Famuyiwa sits down with Dr. Stephanie Fein, an expert in weight loss for fertility, to uncover the powerful connection between body weight, hormone balance, and reproductive health.
They dive into:
🔹 How BMI extremes (both high and low) affect ovulation and conception
🔹 The role of insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormone imbalances in fertility struggles
🔹 Why just 5% weight loss can dramatically improve ovulation and pregnancy chances
🔹 The truth about popular diets (keto, intermittent fasting, Mediterranean) and fertility
🔹 How to reset hunger and satiety cues for long-term weight and hormone balance
If you’re trying to conceive and struggling with weight-related challenges, this episode is packed with expert insights and practical strategies to help you take control of your fertility journey.
