A client returned after being missing for 6 months. She came back and said
you were right. About what I responded? Well you told me that how I was starting my day was
possibly messing up my periods.
What happened was I was asking her how she
was starting her day. Piece of whole grain toast and eggs or some steel cut slow cooked oatmeal.
I said that was likely one of the culprits behind her irregular periods and difficulty conceiving.
I remember she kinda gave me a skeptical look and that’s when I didn’t see her for awhile.
I had explained to her that how we start our day sets up our bodies to run
efficiently or inefficiently. That means hormonally,
metabolically and whether we or not we are in an inflammatory state or not
This bothered her because no other doctor she had consulted had
ever been concerned about this-Most didn’t even question her diet and the one dietician
she went to praised her choices as being healthy and balanced.
Then there was me explaining why this was likely part of the issue and she started to question my
credibility but something made her stop and realize that maybe I was on to something.
I had sent her home with one of these… It’s an inexpensive
glucose meter or I like to call it your own biofeedback meter and I think invaluable when you
are looking to improve your menses, your hormonal balance, your fertility and your overall health.
I asked her to measure her blood sugar right before a meal and then 30-60 minutes
after the START of her meal. This is different then when you measure 2 hours after a meal-if
you are diabetic because that is to determine how much insulin you need. This instead is to help
guide you in making food choices that optimize your fertility and keep you hormonally balanced.
Anyways, out of curiosity, She checked her blood sugar
and then ate her slow cooked steel cut oatmeal. To it she added a splash of almond milk-unsweetened.
Her blood sugar shot up almost 100 points. That really surprised her.
Next she repeated it with gluten free whole grain toast and an egg. Yikes. That spiked it too.
Then she started testing before and after every meal.
She became obsessed and I get it many of us do when we start using one of these. Fortunately
and pretty quickly we don’t need to test anymore as we get what is going to cause these spikes.
In her case, Unless she was eating about 3 ounces of protein,
vegetables and a quality fat she was spiking.
Couple things happened. After the 2nd month she got her period 29 days after her first one
and didn’t have the typical PMS. Hmmm. This motivated to keep going. After the 5th month
she got her FSH levels retested and they had gone down. She was blown away.
What she was told was that her FSH levels were high because of her maternal age. She’s 38.
So did these diet changes turn back her age? You could say so.
It turned back her biological age-by reducing inflammation it turned back her cellular age.
And she dropped some horribly stubborn belly fat that seemed to always be there.
Step 1. Get one of these. Amazon or your local
pharmacy. Make sure to get the proper lancets and test strips to go along with them.
Step 2 and this is the fun part…start testing and based on your results
start tweaking your diet to make it support your fertility versus sabotage your fertility.
Simple is a clean, pasteur raised organic protein
the quantity of your palm. Cook this in a quality oil like coconut,
ghee, avocado add some vegetables. Eggs with avocado and sauteed spinach or
For something lighter You can make a batch of bone broth
and add cubes of avocado or add some coconut milk to it.
If you want more option get a cookbook to make delicious meals that help you take charge of
your fertility. I am really loving this cookbook. It was written by a mom that was diagnosed with
an autoimmune condition called ulcerative colitis. When she was first diagnosed the
first thing that she asked her doctor was, “will I be able to have children?”
She was able to have a child but her severe health challenges continued to where she was bedridden.
Eliminating grains, dairy, refined sugars allowed her to regain her life.
I would love to hear your comments. Could you ever make major dietary changes
if it meant it would help you conceive easier or are you skeptical it would make a difference?
