If your body is out of balance due to inflammation, it uses a lot of resources to fight the inflammation.

Those resources are both about energy, but also about nutrients, which the body should have used to optimize your hormonal balance, your eggs and your general health.

If you e.g. taking some extra supplements to optimize your fertility, but your body is struggling with inflammation, it can be a bit like pouring water into a holey bucket.

You don’t get nearly as much out of what you invest as you otherwise would have. That’s why I always start by getting the holes in your bucket closed. Then you can get much more out of the nutrients you put in it. 

Once we have got the inflammation under control, the body begins to get the resources to build up again and get back into balance.

There is no more ‘hole in your bucket’ and your cells slowly start to become more efficient at producing energy and doing what they need to do.

For your eggs, this means that they are given the opportunity to produce the energy and have access to the hormones that they need to mature properly, and then produce enough energy to divide properly after fertilization.

Then there is also a much greater chance that the little sprout can take hold properly and turn into a healthy and strong little baby.

My approach to fertility is therefore also largely based on an evidence-based method to reduce inflammation in the body.
