Here are some tips on how to pick the healthiest apple cider:
🍎 Choose raw, unfiltered, and unpasteurized apple cider for the most nutrients and beneficial bacteria.
🍎 Opt for cider made from organic apples to avoid pesticides and herbicides. Your hormones will thank you!
🍎 Steer clear of cider with added sugar or artificial sweeteners, which can contribute to excess calorie intake.
🍎 Carefully review the label to ensure the cider is free of artificial ingredients and preservatives.
🍎 For a richer flavor and nutrient profile, look for cider made from a blend of apple varieties.
🍎 Once opened, store the cider in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.

On World Diabetes Day, we raise awareness about insulin resistance and its impact on overall health, including fertility.

Insulin resistance can lead to increased HbA1c, which is a key indicator of blood sugar control.

For those trying to conceive, managing insulin levels is crucial, as it can affect hormone balance and ovulation. Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole foods, regular physical activity, and stress management to support your journey.

Let’s prioritize our health together! If you have questions about nutrition and fertility, don’t hesitate to reach out. 💙

It's football season... which means nachos!

Tortilla chips can be a crunchy and tasty snack, but not all are created equal.

Siete: Typically made with almond flour and cassava flours, Siete chips are gluten-free, paleo-friendly, and lower in carbs than traditional tortilla chips. They also offer a good source of fiber and protein.

Tostitos: While Tostitos chips are a popular choice, they're typically made with refined grains, unhealthy fats, and added sodium.

Remember, even though some brands may be a healthier option, they're still chips and should be portioned to avoid overeating. Enjoy them in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

🗳️ Election Day is here, and it can stir up all kinds of emotions! Here are 3 tips to help you curb emotional eating while you stay informed:

Stay Mindful: Take a moment to check in with your feelings before reaching for snacks. Are you really hungry, or just stressed?

Snack Smart: Keep healthy snacks on hand! Fresh fruit, veggies with hummus, or nuts can satisfy cravings without derailing your day.

Take Breaks: Step away from the news! Take a walk or practice deep breathing to clear your mind and reduce stress.

Halloween is a time for fun, costumes, and candy! But if you're trying to conceive (TTC), it's important to make mindful choices when it comes to sugary treats. Let's compare Reese's and Skittles to see which one is a better option.

Reese's:
Pros: Contains some protein from the peanut butter.
Cons: High in sugar and unhealthy fats.

Skittles:
Pros: Smaller size, which might lead to eating fewer.
Cons: Extremely high in sugar and artificial colors and flavors.

Better Candy Choices for TTC:
Dark chocolate: Contains antioxidants and can be a healthier option.
Trail mix: Offers a mix of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits for protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
Raisins: A natural and nutritious snack that can satisfy your sweet tooth.

Remember, moderation is key. It's okay to indulge in some Halloween candy, but try to balance it with healthier choices!

Oatmeal is a nutritious and delicious breakfast option that can support your fertility. If you're short on time in the morning, try making overnight oats for a quick and easy on-the-go treat.

Starting your day with protein and fiber is essential for fertility. Oatmeal is a great source of both, making it a perfect choice for a nourishing breakfast.

Did you know that stress can interfere with our HPA (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal) and HPG (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal) axes? 🤯 These are essential systems in our bodies that play a significant role in regulating hormones and, yes, fertility! 🤰🌟

When we're constantly stressed, our HPA axis can go into overdrive, releasing too much cortisol (the stress hormone). 📈 This can disrupt the balance of hormones like estrogen and progesterone in our HPG axis, making it harder to conceive. 🙅‍♀️💔

But here's the good news: Recognizing and managing stress can make a world of difference! 🌈 Whether it's through mindfulness, yoga, meditation, or talking to a therapist, finding ways to relax and reduce stress can positively impact your fertility journey. 🧘‍♀️🌱

Remember, you're not alone in this. ❤️ Share your experiences and insights to support others who might be going through the same challenges. Visit our Women's Fertility Group on the first and third Thursdays of the month at Library 21C from 6-7 pm.
