Brandy Buskow joins us this week as we\\u2019re digging into low carb and keto and how this can help when you are TTC.

There is a lot of information regarding combining a low-carb diet and keto diet.

It can help with craving less junk food, fat loss, and increased energy.

But is this approach right for you when you are on the fertility journey?

We break down the top myths so that you can determine if this approach is right for your body.

In this episode you\'ll learn:

1) How low carb/keto diet impact leptin, LH hormone, thyroid, and why this matters for the menstrual cycle

2) When is the best time to start the low carb/keto diet if you are TTC (hint there are specific times in the menstrual cycle)

3) What to do about impulsive eating and why it\\u2019s not your fault

4) Why under fueling is a stress on the body and how to determine the right amount of food for you

5) Go to snacks and easy meals you can start with right now
