We have all seen the rise in popularity of low-carb diets, keto, and paleo diets for health and particularly weight loss in recent years... but are they problematic for our fertility?
I step you through the facts, the benefits and risks, and the current research on low-carb diets and their impact on important factors such as egg quality, sperm quality, and general fertility. I also cover chronic conditions like PCOS and what I recommend as a fertility dietitian (and spoiler alert - it's not "going paleo" !)
