I subbed after hearing you are pushing Plant Based. I was diagnosed 28 years ago with PCOS when it was Super New, and my Gyno was up on the latest info.. I did the low carb thing with weights for 10 years, lost weight, hair stopped falling out, facial hair remained, but my period was black. I switched eventually over time to Plant based, and my period at 48 is beautiful, and if I start eating meat regular, my hair pulls out again and I get huge PMS! Great channel, thanks!

[Transformingyoutofertility]

so so true, various key things helped me to get pregnant, I defied all odds was told I was never supossed to have any children with stage 3 endo and the damage it had done to my body, but I got my miracle daughter, she is 13 now. I am truly blessed sending love to all those on a fertility journey xx

[lewamush]

Your channel is honestly a breath of fresh air! You explain things in such a thorough and detailed way, without confusing the audience with complicated medical jargon. Thank you!

[robyn]

I was vegan for 5 years before I got pregnant. I had the easiest pregnancy ever, legit zero complications/negative symptoms. My son was 90th percentile! I think eating so healthy made me feel great during my pregnancy.

[kirstenhallam]

Thank you for sharing. I took notes in my diary to try sort myself out for meal planning and grocery shopping to try succeed

[ModernLady]

Thank you for this! I’ve seen so many women recommending Keto for getting pregnant and it is so sad when the affect will be the opposite.

[adammagriffith]

Awesome video! Thank you so much Dr. Crawford. This is the most incredible information I have ever received on fertility. I have seen a few in recent years. You were able to cover so many topics and answered most of my questions in one video. I really appreciate it.

[lindseymae]

If I don’t get pregnant this month I’m doing everything I possibly can so my body is healthy and fertile. As well as getting my s/o vitamins and trying to get him to eat a little healthier. I just want to be pregnant more than anything. Especially after having an ectopic pregnancy I need to make sure my body is beyond healthy.

[skybluecrafts]

This is one of your best videos! Amazing information and you summarized A LOT into a short video. Much appreciated. 💛

[gezykah]

OK I'm sold, trying that new falafel recipe I've been wanting to make for dinner, LOL!

[hchan]

Happy belated Birthday Natalie!

[Amina-okhf]

I have PCOS. I was lacto vegetarian for 35 years. And mostly plant based as an adult. Lots of vegan friends etc. I had a child in my early 20’s but my PCOS progressed and became very severe. My mental health deteriorated. I have recently included some chicken and fish. Which is taboo and against my religion but I haven’t felt this good in my life. At first it caused euphoria even. I am just giving it a go, it’s really tough, I love lots of fruits and vegetables but I feel like these isn’t much support for people like me coming from a plant based upbringing to make the opposite changes. It really can help paradoxically.

[christinapaul]

Nice video.. Good info.. can make a video on diet for hypothyroidism.. thanks

[chrisdu]

Thank you for the information! I would love to have more information on choline. What's your take on it?

[MoneyGist]

"There's nothing shocking in here" applies to a lot of things in life.
Personal finance, spend less than you earn.
Weight loss, eat less calories than you expend.
Pregnancy lifestyle, what's good for the body is good for the egg.

[jaymiec]

this video is so helpful!!!! I am glad I found your channel!

[karenalvarez]

Watching ALL your videos because I'm about to start IVF (husband had a vasectomy) :D

[mandii]

Hi, is it ok to take 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar diluted in warm water in the morning everyday when TTC. Thank you

[KarenAlexandre]

Thank you so much for making fertility information more accessible to all of us. Thank you. I have a comment/question. Fertility doctors all agree that maternal age is, hands down, the main factor affecting embryo/egg quality. Stanford just released a very interesting twin study on nutrition. They compared a healthy vegan diet to a healthy omnivore diet (similar to a Mediterranean diet). After only 8 weeks, the vegans had decreased their biological age while the omnivores continued to age as usual (as measured by the size of the telomeres at the end of the DNA strands). Am I the only one thinking this is an incredible AMAZING finding?!!! If we can decrease our biological age in any way, would that not have an impact on the quality of our eggs? Eggs are cells in our bodies after all, maybe we can, to some extent of course, make our eggs behave like younger eggs by eating even healthier? I know this is all theoretical, but it sure made me feel empowered and gave me a lot of hope when I heard about this amazing, measured, result of decreased biological age after just 8 weeks eating this way. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
