Description

Struggling with infertility is hard enough on its own, but being told to lose weight also, with no clear idea of what to actually do next can feel particularly defeating. Weight Loss for Fertility is the only podcast around that helps guide you when you're having a rough start to motherhood and have been told that weight loss could help with your fertility. On this podcast, your internist turned weight loss expert, Stephanie Fein MD, helps navigate the vulnerable world of infertility and weight loss with compassion and experience. Insulin, inflammation, hormones, and diet mentality make weight loss tricky for those TTC. Understanding and improving each will clear the way for successful ovulation, IVF, or ICSI. Listen in to find tools and resources that’ll help you along this path while being guided with love and compassion. Be sure to share the podcast with anyone who could benefit and follow so you don’t miss an episode!
