Fertility and Diet
A solely plant-based diet may not support optimal fertility for everyone, as certain nutrients are crucial for conception. While some individuals thrive on a plant-based approach, introducing animal products like eggs or seafood can be beneficial for many. Understanding nutrient density, particularly choline, is vital, especially for those who may face irreversible deficiencies before conception.In this clip

How do plant-based diets affect fertility?
Can being vegetarian and not getting enough protein accelerate fertility as discussed in the episode 73. The Link Between Digestive Wellness & Fertility - with Brooke Boskovich and the clip Nutrient Density Matters?
I have a question about this episode 125. Food Foundations for Life with Dr. Tyler Jean and this Nutrition and Performance. I'm in a dilemma. I have been on a plant-based diet for almost a year and just started incorporating eggs and cheese. In the first few months of my diet change, I lost about 20 lbs, but then I started gaining weight back, even though I worked out 3-4 days a week. I know for sure I am eating very low protein. I got labs done recently and found out that I am releasing protein in my urine. Also, I have low T; my T dropped considerably over the past couple of years, going from 560 to 235. I started TRT in pellet form back in March 2023, and my T shot up to 1015, but by October 2024, my T levels are around 350. I feel like crap and am lost and hopeless because I want to eat animal-based protein again, but I also have a hereditary issue with my cholesterol. I'm willing to jump back on TRT and eat animal-based protein, but I do not want it to affect my cholesterol levels. They have improved since I went plant-based. What should I do?
