Episode 135 - How Endometriosis affects your egg quality and what you can do
The Endometriosis Nutritionist PodcastShow Notes
If you’re living with Endometriosis and want to start or grow your family, you may be worried about your fertility. You might have heard that Endometriosis can make it harder to conceive—but what often goes unmentioned is the impact it can have on egg quality. Egg quality isn’t about how many eggs you have—it’sabout how healthy those eggs are and how capable they are of being fertilised, developing into a healthy embryo, and leading to a successful pregnancy. In this episode I explain how Endometriosis influences egg quality and,importantly, what you can do to improve it.
I also have a free guide you can download explaining how you can use diet and supplements to help improve your fertility. It’s called “5 strategies to improve your fertility naturally“ and you can download it here: https://www.subscribepage.com/5strategiesimprovefertilitynaturally.
