We’re stressed out, right? Well, the increased cortisol produced by stress makes us hungry - hungry for carbs, sugar and fat (and not the good kinds, okay?). If we follow suit and eat like this all the time we start to feel fatigued (and in desperately hoping for a caffeine boost), moody and may even start to find that we don’t think as clearly (some will call this ‘brain fog’). And stress forces our body to utilize a significant amount of nutrients to produce the energy we need to respond - even if our stress is created by sitting in front of a computer all day.

What To Consider When Thinking About Male Fertility
Time and time again, infertility problems are often primarily thought of as a female issue. Male infertility is talked about significantly less, and in my own clinical and personal experience, more commonly overlooked. Men considering their own fertility may feel isolated, and even undervalued in their own contribution to the process. So, let’s talk about it.

What is the vaginal microbiome and how does it relate to vaginal health?

Probiotics - Quality >/< Quantity?
Probiotics contain microorganisms, and most of these little microorganisms are similar to the naturally-occurring, beneficial bacteria of the human gut. Probiotics often contain a variety of strains, including those of the Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Saccharomyces species.
