I probably sound like a broken record, but hey, if you didn't know, oxidative stress is a major player in men's infertility. And at the moment we have very expensive and limited ways to find out just how much it is affecting each man. It makes sense that supplements designed to combat oxidative stress would be the antidote. Right??!
Plot twist!
You'll need to listen to the end to hear all about which supplements we have researched, what the WHO recommends about male supplements, the risks of taking them when you don't need them, and some practical (and safe) changes we can make.

With a 50%-freaking-decrease in sperm count globally over the last 40 years, sperm health has never been a bigger issue in the realm of fertility.

Here to reduce your endo pain naturally? Join me as I explore the intricate relationship between estrogen dominance, inflammation, and certain types of fats, such as palmitic acid, which quite likely make things worse. You'll hear where things are at between endometriosis and red meat, alcohol, caffeine, and even environmental disruptors like pesticides and BPA. While some people with endometriosis find relief by cutting out certain foods like gluten and soy due to their potential inflammatory effects, you'll figure out if this is something YOU need to do, and how to go about it.
Are you on the lookout for a FODMAP dietitian near you? Here's a list of who specialises in this area.
TIMESTAMPS
01:29 Total fat, saturated fat and palmitic acid...and where to find them
04:39 Meat and endo
05:57 Alcohol and caffeine, not so bad?
07:27 EDC's - what, where, who?
09:32 FODMAPs, gluten & soy - do you need to level up?

In this episode, we're diving into the world of endometriosis and the dreaded "endo belly."
If you're not familiar, endo is when the uterine lining decides to go on a field trip outside the uterus, causing pain, scarring, and bloating that makes you question your clothing choices.

But fear not my fellow endo warriors, I've got a list of seven strategies to combat the belly, ranging from food tweaks to lifestyle changes. And if you're up for it, grab your handy resource with even more tips to bid farewell to your phantom pregnancy days. So let's say goodbye to bloating and hello to feeling fabulous.

Did you know that endometriosis affects around 10% of women? It's super common, yet the wide effect it has on the body is not always well appreciated. In a very general nutshell, endometriosis is a chronic pain condition that is caused when the cells that normally live within the uterus grow elsewhere in the body.
Chantelle shares her experience of living with endometriosis. Our hope in doing this episode is that you will grow in your appreciation of how endo affects those living with it (a la more than just bad period pain) and that if you are a person with the condition, you draw encouragement from the pain management options available to you, perhaps ones you hadn't considered.
