Well done IVFAustralia and Virtus Health, a great study to hear about after the IVF pause during the coronavirus crisis.

Australian fertility experts have embarked on a trial to test the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence technique that could improve the odds of a successful IVF pregnancy.

Intermittent Fasting (IF). It covers a broad class of interventions that alternate periods of eating and extended fasting.

Fasting for at least 14 hours per day reduces body weight, improves glycemic control, lowers insulin and blood pressure. It is even reported to increase lifespan, even when food intake is matched to the control group.

This study indicates the differences in eating times. When participants ate early or in the middle of the day only, cardiometabolic health benefited compared to eating later in the day.

Worth a try? We all love a good dinner feast, but perhaps isolation times allow us to be more flexible with our meal hours to create a healthier habit for longevity.

Time-restricted feeding (TRF) is a form of intermittent fasting that involves having a longer daily fasting period. Preliminary studies report that TRF improves cardiometabolic health in rodents and humans. Here, we performed the first study to determine ...

This 7000 patient study assessed patient improvement using validated quality of life scales over six and 12 months. Rather than look at specific interventions, they compared the results of a Functional Medicine approach with a conventional approach.

At both six and 12 months, improvements in the patients treated with Functional Medicine were significantly larger than those in patients treated with conventional medicine, what a great outcome! This validates that our society needs to encourage a wider adoption of complementary medicine.

An Australian study in today’s paper. We dig deep with male health when working with fertility patients, and this supports underpinning research.

“The results were far stronger than we thought they would be. What we found was that male age always has a negative effect on fertility, even if men partner with younger women”

Men, don’t leave it too late! x

Monash University research finds male fertility sharply declines at 40, affecting IVF success irrespective of the age of the woman.
