Here's why your "healthy lifestyle" isn't paying off when it comes to getting pregnant
Here's why your "healthy lifestyle" isn't paying off when it comes to getting pregnant π«
You’re drinking green smoothies π₯¬, hitting the gym at 5 AM to do a high-intensity workout ποΈβοΈ, eating all the chicken breast and brown rice π... yet, you're still not pregnant.
Sound familiar? π€
The truth is—what’s healthy for the average person isn't always healthy for fertility.
In fact, some of these habits might be working against you:
β¨ Intermittent fasting – Going too long without eating can tank blood sugar, increase stress hormones, and disrupt ovulation.
β¨ Green smoothies – Too much raw, cold food can stress digestion and impact nutrient absorption.
β¨ Kale salads – Cruciferous veggies are great, but too much, especially raw can mess with your nutrient stores and thyroid function.
β¨ Low-sugar or sugar-free everything – Restrictive diets and artificial sweeteners can disrupt your hormones.
β¨ 5 AM Cycling or HIIT classes – Intense workouts can spike cortisol and throw off your cycle.
β¨ Cold therapy – It might boost metabolism, but it can also signal stress to your body.
“Healthy”-looking, fit ≠ fertile
Here's the thing—most couples get pregnant within 3-6 months of trying. If you're past that point and still following the same routine, it’s time to reevaluate. π
Because the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. π
Instead of pushing harder, it’s time to work smarter when it comes to fertility. π‘
