Welcome back to the podcast! In today’s must-listen episode, Chantel sits down with Dr. Afrouz Demeri to dive into the world of fasting, fertility, and female hormones. Dr. Afrouz, Your Women’s Health Specialist, shares how her personal health journey led to a groundbreaking approach to preconception care. Together, she and Chantel explore the role of intermittent fasting in hormone health, egg quality, and infertility—especially for women in their 30s and 40s. They unpack the differences between intermittent, time-restricted, and prolonged fasting, and how each affects the female cycle, sleep, metabolism, and fertility. Dr. Afrouz also breaks down how fasting impacts progesterone production, PCOS, and pregnancy prep—and why many women might be unknowingly sabotaging their fertility with trendy diets. This is a must-watch for anyone looking to optimize their health naturally before pregnancy—or simply learn how to fast smarter as a woman. 📘 Learn more about Dr. Afrouz Demeri: https://drdemeri.com/🎧 Questions?
