Infertility is a condition characterized by inability of women to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term. Male infertility is the inability of a man to achieve pregnancy in a fertile female partner after actively trying for a year or more without contraception.
Fertility care encompasses a range of medical, psychological, and lifestyle interventions with the foundation of balanced fertility pro diet plans aimed at assisting individuals or couples in achieving pregnancy.

What causes fertility problems:

  • Age: As women and men reach their late 30s and 40s, they decrease in fertility and have fewer and lower quality eggs and sperm.
  • Health Conditions: PCOS, endometriosis, STIs, thyroid problems, and diabetes can affect women’s ability to conceive. In men, erectile dysfunction and genetic disorders can cause fertility problems.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, drug use, obesity, poor diet, and lack of exercise can all affect fertility in both men and women.
  • Environmental Factors: Exposure to pesticides, heavy metals, radiation, and other environmental pollutants may impair reproductive function.
  • Stress: High levels of stress may affect ovulation in women and sperm production in men, reducing the likelihood of conception.
  • Genetic Factors: Genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities can affect reproductive health and fertility in both men and women.

  • Genetic Predisposition: Having a family history of diabetes increases the likelihood of developing the disease and poor lifestyle certainly worsens the prognosis.

  • Obesity and Sedentary Lifestyle: Excess body weight, particularly fat on the abdomen and physical inactivity are major contributors to type 2 diabetes. Adipose tissue ie visceral fat increases inflammation impairing insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.

  • Insulin Resistance: Insulin resistance occurs when the body’s cells become less responsive to the effects of insulin, a hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. This resistance forces the pancreas to produce more insulin to compensate, leading to elevated blood sugar levels over time. This reaction often leads to dark skin pigmentation seen on neck-underarms -acanthosis nigricans.

  • Poor Diet: A diet high in refined carbohydrates, sugars, unhealthy fats, and processed foods can contribute to insulin resistance and weight gain, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes.

  • Gestational Factors: Gestational diabetes can develop during pregnancy due to hormonal changes that affect insulin sensitivity. Women who develop gestational diabetes have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life, as do their children.

  • Physical Inactivity: Lack of regular physical activity can contribute to obesity, insulin resistance, and poor blood sugar control. Regular exercise helps improve insulin sensitivity, promotes weight loss or maintenance, and reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

  • Stress: Chronic stress can elevate cortisol levels, leading to increased blood sugar levels and insulin resistance. Stress management techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation exercises can help mitigate the impact of stress on diabetes risk.

  • Sleep Disorders: Poor sleep quality, sleep deprivation, and untreated sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea can disrupt hormonal balance, increase insulin resistance, and raise the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
