infertility focuses for men and for
women eight solutions that will help you
out of that that actually work so
fertility we're going to talk about how
do we boost it today uh for both men and
for women that this affects one out of
every three cup one of every six couples
excuse me and of those a third of them
are due to the men so we can't forget
about that but 66 of the time it's for
the women so I'm gonna give solutions
they overlap quite a bit for men and for
women today on understanding infertility
not able to conceive very painful very
emotional process with it I know this
personally when the beautiful nurse
living good and I decided okay we have
we've had a head doctor and head nurse
in a clinic and start that from the
ground up that was our baby for a while
and then we realized all right we want
to start a family and you just think
sometimes you can just flip the switch
and you're just going to do that
especially for very uh you know
go-getter people like we are but that
was not the case you can't just flip a
switch especially if you know a lot of
women and nurse live a good when when we
met we we made this transition and she
was not on any like birth control or
anything like that uh and so but there's
some women that you're intentionally
trying to break that machine for a good
chunk of your youthfulness your younger
years right maybe 20s and maybe 30s
you're taking birth control and some of
you I know are taking it trying to
control a menstrual cycle but you are
literally damaging the machine trying to
shut the machine down and then there's a
lot of people that jump from that come
off the birth control and then say okay
now I want to use the machine for what
it's used for and there could be a lot
of negative a lot of side effects from
that a lot of hormone imbalances uh your
system's just not primed to produce what
it's designed to produce and so we
learned this say a bit of the hard way
we had about a two-year process so a lot
of frustrations we really really had to
take a good look we were pretty healthy
people at that point but I totally tell
you it helped us take it up a notch with
our health and I'm going to share some
of the key things that we found that
actually worked and got us to the point
where uh we had gotten through losing a
child and then finally having what we
now know as Sullivan quickly followed by
London quickly follow followed by
Ireland so we got the machine working I
don't think she probably shouldn't call
it a machine but we got the baby
producer going and men and women are
both bald to that two-thirds of the time
women one-third of the time men and so
we're gonna go through the things that
we found actually worked do they work
for everybody every time of course not
you got to understand these factors and
I think there's a lot you can
proactively do and we've helped a lot of
people clinically do this so men primary
causes lack of libido we've got to talk
about this the sex drive has to
obviously be there and I think some men
get stuck in a very you know work mode
stress mode there's a lot of factors
there so we're gonna talk about that uh
also affected by uh Ed so performance
issues sperm counts what a fun topic to
start the show motility and testosterone
levels and so these are all impacts the
ability to be able to be fertile
yourself men now risk factors involved
with these these are the things that
drive a lot of those problems obesity
this is a massive one we're going to
touch on this in some of the research in
a moment alcohol over consumption of it
smoking your age just getting older of
course then that system is less and less
likely to be needed the body starts to
shut it down so the older you are it
works against you but it doesn't mean
you can't autoimmune conditions this is
a huge problem hormone imbalances men
specifically with testosterone and
estrogen men that might be sneaking up
on you as well as just lifestyle in
general we're going to break those down
women the problems created or what it's
caused by is either an issue with
ovulation an issue with fertilization so
releasing the egg fertilizing the egg or
implanting the Egg one of those three
steps is gonna now of course hormone
imbalances and some of the things we
talked about so age big factor the older
the eggs get you only have so many of
them we're going to talk about a couple
of specific things to protect your eggs
women interesting stuff smoking alcohol
use just the same obesity very very big
with women especially for insulin we're
going to talk about that what it does to
the hormones STDs PCOS hormone
imbalances pelvic inflammatory disease
PID
um endometriosis fibroids and then scar
scarring of the tubes of the environment
where implantation has to happen so
those are some of the predictors so
those are the main things that are
driving it so we just got to reverse
engineer the cause we got to undiagnose
some of these things the best we can if
there is a PCOS or a pelvic inflammatory
disease how do we undo the inflammation
or balance out the hormones if there is
a motility issue what can you give your
body to help the motility issue with
sperm then what do you do if there is a
libido problem or a stress issue how do
we undo these problems so eight
solutions that we actually focused on
that work ready here we go number one
medications gotta go we didn't have a
problem with this one if you're
listening to Dr living good I hope your
goal is to not have to have those use
those leases possible and realize that
oftentimes that's the only solution
you're given when there's a lot of other
things that could be but the specific
drugs actually affect fertility
antidepressants shown in studies to
impact fertility issues men and women
calcium channel blockers especially in
men these are often used for blood
pressure calcium channel blockers can
affect infertility chemo oh of course
right your eggs the reproductive organ
sperm of course steroids men can throw
off that estrogen testosterone balance
um marijuana cocaine that you just Clump
them all in the same category sometimes
you look at those last ones with
judgment when you're taking calcium
channel blockers that are almost as
equally as toxic right so all of these
though impacting so the less use of them
and have you looked into if you are
taking a medication especially if you're
dealing with infertility issues does
this create infertility problems you go
to a drug interaction Checker or a drug
Checker and you start reading through
the side effects there will be a section
on reproductive organs does that drug
impact reproductive work it's worth
checking out especially if you're going
down a road of spending tens of
thousands of dollars slow down a second
and let's look at or if you're going to
take a bunch of medications to try to
get pregnant let's look at are the drugs
you're currently taking messing that up
so work from the inside out not the
outside in that's a good one number two
stress this is massive this is massive
this is living good and I working hard
we're focused on thousands of people we
have to help with the largest health
clinics of its type in the world so we
are going hard to help in the name of
people but then realizing wow we're
carrying a lot of Burden ourselves and
so we've got to develop some of the
techniques that you now know and
understand today breathing techniques
and things of this nature to say hey we
got to control stress several studies
showing that women's libido women this
is huge for you significantly decreases
with stress and depression stress and
depression so I've ran these studies and
shown if you are stressed women I should
say this to men men if if your woman is
stressed not happening or less likely to
or there won't be the drive there so fun
topic for the morning right so but we
got to talk about this because stress
got to be controlled what can you do for
it uh one of the my favorite herbs for
this is ashwagandha to control stress
levels this is found in our de-stress
supplement ashwagandha increased libido
and in men increased by lowering
cortisol and in Men actually increased
sperm count 167 percent so that would be
one to look at adaptogenic herb to
control stress also would highly
recommend their breathing techniques
that were taught in the living good
daily challenge as a part of the living
a daily lifestyle they can be done in a
couple minutes a day to control the
stress doubles number three so we got
drugs we got stress hormones okay
hormones hormones uh the main obviously
this is what we start focusing on we
start giving chemicals to what's your
opinion on this drug Dr living good
what's your opinion in this one before
we go trying to play what I would call
God in your body and these hormones are
very powerful and very sensitive let's
just try to get yours back in check
right so the main one to look at here
when anyone asks me about hormones
they're dealing with endometriosis or
PCOS or scarring or ovulation issues or
any uh men dealing with Ed or
performance issues I always go back to
is there excess weight on the system if
there there is the driving force of that
is insulin if you've ever seen a type 1
diabetic this would be pictures from the
old days we don't see this very much
anymore we're a type 1 diabetic that
can't produce their own insulin right if
they do not get insulin what happens to
them they become deathly frail deathly
skinny can take their life so type 1
diabetes is is the sickness and the
disease diabetes of the skinny type 2 is
diabetes of the other direction of the
Obesity so what that shows you is you
have to have this balance of insulin
inside of your body and you need proper
amounts of it but if you get too much of
it too much insulin is going to make you
fat too little insulin in the case of
type 1 diabetes would make you deathly
skinny so too much insulin adds in there
now why am I talking about this right
now because insulin's the bully on the
playground that is going to dictate all
the other ones case in point insulin
creates fat fat creates estrogen and
women if you have too much or too little
of estrogen if it's out of balance
problem with the fertility issues men if
you have too much estrogen going on
that's going to take your testosterone
levels and you're going to have
performance issues you're you're gonna
have sperm count issues you're going to
have so too much belly fat actually
drives this problem so men and women we
both have to address this estrogen
imbalance and the main way to do it is
look at insulin and then get the Obesity
weight or overweight under control in
the body even if you well I'm not too
bad you know there's always another
level of you may be not too bad as far
as you're not over fat to over fat
syndrome is carrying around too much fat
but you still have a density and you
don't have much muscle so the more we
can get your body into shape through
exercise through fasting and proper
nutrition then your body can utilize
insulin the sensitivity to insulin is
good so it's not impacting the hormones
and then we can crank up testosterone in
the body yes for women as well to help
to optimize so this is a really big game
changer especially high intensity
exercise for men you can increase it up
to 700 testosterone just by doing high
intensity exercises like our 10 minute
workouts so insulin drives it we can
crank up the testosterone by doing high
intensity exercise trans fats bad oils
that's why I teach on oils all the time
so sugar is going to drive up the
insulin we've got to control that
through our nutrition plans through
fasting okay workouts are going to
control testosterone and those hormones
we got to add that in and then we've got
to control healthy fats trans fats make
more insulin negative effect trans fat
so this is when you're asking about
peanut oil and canola oil and let alone
soybean and cotton seed and vegetable
all rancid oils they're going to trash
the hormones increase the fat toxify the
cells and ultimately are a contributor
to infertility now one more food that
should be avoided when it comes to
nutrition men especially soy men have to
stay away from soil struggle with
infertility issues soy is high in
natural estrogens and it can decrease
the concentration and the quality of
sperm for men research shows so avoiding
soy very important so their hormones are
most corrected by nutrition lowering the
sugars lowering the fats the unhealthy
fats fasting cutting back consumption
and then proper high intensity workouts
you nailed those you can do a really
good job with the hormones number four
timing timing this is huge in order to
optimize fertility men and women then
you line up the woman's cycle and the
egg is only good for about 24 hours
however sperm is good for about five or
six days so there is about a five day
window for a couple trying to conceive
during a 28 to 30 day period of time so
there's a five day window during this
period of time so timing that and
figuring that out might be sliding a
little bit each month you can do that by
temperature going or there's a lot of
apparatuses now that help you to start
to track that that would be very
important as some planning timing is
super important to figure that out
number five herbal teas herbal teas
especially green tea reduces oxidative
stress reducing oxidative stress greatly
helps women's fertility so it's that
mental stress that turns into oxidative
stress green tea is one good example
sample herbal teas altogether of
lowering that women it helps enhance
their fertility men it helps with the
concentration and motility of the sperm
number six maca root we actually have
this in our hormone metabolism support
maca root uh is a it helps support
healthy female hormones also helps with
the increasing sperm quantity macaroon
is some good studies on both of those
and a root that we add in you can use it
in that capsule form you could break it
open use it in a powder form in your
smoothies but that hormone metabolism
support is going to help optimize
insulin and is going to provide the maca
root so that's what we focus on that's
one of the herbs that we used vitamin D
there it is again 2019 study 18 studies
were reviewed for its effect on
fertility and it found that high vitamin
D levels increases fertility high
vitamin D increased fertility so make
sure the vitamin D levels are up why my
suspection is because vitamin D is the
precursor to all the hormones in your
body so if you're not producing or
balancing them enough vitamin D is that
precursor so make sure your levels are
above 50. omega-3 is the final one
number eight and listen to this women
omega-3 they there's a prominent study
that shows it protects a female's
reproductive lifespan as well as the egg
quality so if this is like speaking to
all the women out there taking birth
control and fighting not wanting to go
that route to protect egg quality
Omega-3s super important to lower the
inflammation and protect us for some
days when you might need them right or
if you're a woman you're getting older
and you're oh you're worried about it
you're still trying to have them I would
be making sure I get a high quality
omega-3 our Omega turmeric would be
perfect for that it's a high
concentration omega-3 to help protect
egg quality very interesting studies it
also shows significant improvements in
uh compared to men who didn't take it
much more likely to conceive for men
that do take omega threes eight
solutions for dealing with infertility
for men and for women very interesting
things we can all learn a little bit
there because there isn't a time when
we're not going to want to have balanced
hormones in our life or that we're not
going to want to optimize vitamin D
levels and just more benefits from some
of these things take the medications
away as much as possible you can
Implement these things for a healthy
lifestyle and hopefully
babies in your future if that is what
you're looking for we are not three of
them was enough but they are big old
blessings and I would pray for that or
wish for that anyone trying to go down
that road so all right there it is to
get more info and to help with the
lifestyle side of things check out the
living good daily book you can grab one
of those for free we'll send it to you

understanding the fasting the nutrition
