Can Gut Health Affect Fertility? | Cultivate Fertility
What does your gut have to do with getting pregnant or having a healthy baby? More than you think! Let’s start with the basics... The microbiome is basically all the bacteria that live on and inside your body. In the digestive system alone there are 100 trillion of them. The number of bacterial cells actually outnumber our body’s own cells! We are, in fact, more bacteria than human. Most of these microbes are great, they do a lot for our health. But, some of them are not. Regardless, the microbiome influences almost every aspect of your overall health and metabolism. They can impact: – Digestive health: gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea. – Body weight – Energy levels – Risk of autoimmune disease – Immune system function – Inflammation or risk of chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes – Ability to absorb nutrients from food – Skin health – How well you manage stress – Allergies The problem is that many of us have an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in our microbiome, which is called “dysbiosis”, and we don’t even know it. Most of us just think if we don’t have digestive problems we are ok, but the symptoms are much more than that. The imbalance doesn’t just influence your own health, it can impact pregnancy outcomes and the long-term health of your baby. The good news is that you can restore the balance and improve your microbiome and overall gut health prior to pregnancy (and maintain the balance during pregnancy) with some key strategies. We’ll talk about these strategies a bit later, but let’s take a look at the connection between the microbiome and a healthy pregnancy. #GutHealth #FertilitySupport #HealthyGutHealthyYou #NaturalFertility #HormoneBalance #Inflammation #FertilityJourney #CultivateFertility #TTC #ReproductiveHealth If you're trying to get pregnant or simply looking to improve your overall wellness, this channel, provided by Cultivate Fertility and Cultivate Foundations, is here to guide you with natural fertility tips, hormone-balancing advice, and practical women’s health strategies.
