 Next question is from Yo-Yi Sotelo do resistance training and nutrition play a factor for women who want to conceive? totally and the rest of the question is Have to switch up her diet and training regimen to better her chances of conceiving. Yes. It makes a big difference She's gonna did all this stuff. So one of the okay, so so first off at being healthy Generally healthy overall healthy body fat percentage isn't too low, okay? Because being too low can actually negatively affect your ability to conceive and also being too too high So you want to have a healthy range of body fat and for women this can be this is typically For conception around between 20 to 25 percent not even leaner than 20 percent I've known women who have been in the 17% body fat range had to get their body fat up to 20 Before they can conceive so in that range general overall good health That's the best most the biggest impact you're gonna have on your ability to conceive now that being said Specifically if we were to break down, okay, general health everything looks good What's the form of exercise that's gonna contribute the most to a woman's ability to conceive? Resistance training always and the reason why is resistance training is anabolic. It's pro tissue. It's pro hormone balance it encourages a faster metabolism which allows you to eat more when your Metabolism is becoming really really really thrifty. You can run the risk of sending a signal to your body that says hey We're not getting much food. So Probably having a baby is not a good idea But when you're lifting weights like we talk about all the time You're able to eat more and because you're able to eat more and still maintain a healthy body fat percentage Sends a wonderful signal to the body now any form of exercise that's overdone is gonna damage or Negatively affect your ability to conceive. So what I mean by that is Even if you lift weights, but you just lift weights a lot and you're training like a maniac and you're pushing your body to the limit And you're always on the borderline of Overtraining probably not a good environment for conception. You want to be Generally in a good kind of relaxed state. It's funny. I don't know if you guys have had friends This happened to friends, but I've got several family members where they were trying, you know to conceive and then they're because they were trying They were stressed out about it. It's not working. It's not working Then they gave up and they just relaxed boom. Oh, yeah happens right away Now what are your thoughts on so let's say somebody just heard that statement you made about where percentage there You should be our ideal, right? Nothing's gonna make the greatest impact of being having your body in a healthy state And let's say somebody is listening to that and they want to get pregnant and they're like at thirty thirty two percent Which is not crazy, but they're at thirty two percent body fat And so they hear that and so they assume that if that's the best thing to do They start dieting to get down to twenty twenty five while they're also trying to consume and while they're dieting like that They may be running low calorie low low low fat intake What's your thoughts on that because that's it got to be essential to is to make sure that you are hitting your You know essential amount of fat and protein for the day I mean, I would think that makes a greater impact than actually getting that person's body fat percent Well, it depends why their body fat was in the 30s to begin with you know I'm saying if they're if they just become healthier and then the body fat percentage starts to drop Then they're probably gonna improve their their chances of conceiving typically if you take a woman from thirty three or thirty four percent And you do it the right way down to twenty seven twenty six percent Generally speaking your health is going to it's gonna improve But here's the thing really forget the body fat percentage stuff as I was saying it I know I was thinking to myself like I probably shouldn't communicate this because people are gonna take this wrong way Really, it's stay away from the extremes, right to to shredded and really really high That's when you'll have some negative effects the middle which is gonna be a big range You're probably gonna be okay, but if you like shredded I've done this now. Let me think I've had about five clients. I can think of off the top of my head that were hardcore fitness fanatic female clients trying to conceive and One of the factors that made them successful was taking their body fat from 12% which is shredded for a girl and gaining it up to 18 or 20 percent And I mean they were trying at the super shredded body fat for a long time and finally it was like look We got to get your body fat percentage up. You need to eat more food You got to send a signal to your body that this is okay to get pregnant and sure enough as they gain body fat They were able to to get pregnant little berry white doesn't hurt Well, you know the mental state Mental state makes a big difference like if you're if you're stressed out a lot If you even trying to conceive is stressing you out That remember your body doesn't want to put you aren't there certain foods and nutrients though too to have a for Ovulation and stuff like that. I believe I remember Katrina reading and she was eating certain foods that like she was supposed to help with Her ovulating like so aren't there things like that that they can be doing you want to you want to you don't want to be any new You don't have any nutrient deficiencies. So you want to be able to consume meats You want to have egg yolks are very very good A lot of the cold the kohlene that's present present present in yoke the cholesterol that's present in yoke Fish fish is also very important. That's also important throughout the whole pregnancy You you basically don't want to be deficient in anything. Oh Shellfish have nutrients that are vital to producing or to have a healthy, you know, healthy consumption Here's the other thing too. You don't want to like all of a sudden Try and hit new PRs and achieve new athletic Performance during this period. You don't want to challenge your body too hard with exercise while you're trying to conceive You want to that's what you do before, you know, I'm saying it's not like okay We're gonna try and have a baby simultaneously I'm trying to hit a new PR in a deadlift and I want to be able to run the mile faster than I remember when we were talking with Drew Canole about it Basically Organified producing more seminal volume. Oh, what did he say that no remember? There was a green juice I believe Tricking more green juice produces a higher seminal. I don't know. I haven't tested that yet You were the one that put yeah, you know on the podcast and then you draw I knew about that You dropped some study that had something to do with something that was in Organifi green juice It might be I don't remember what it was But it showed that you produce higher Volume of semen when you when you take this and I remember that we talked about that was one of the big Jokes when we first signed with organifi that we did this commercial around. I'm just I'm just trying to help you guys out Yeah, well there are supplements that the man but that's as I say that's for the guy though, right? Yeah Yeah, the guys I'm talking about. Yeah, there are certain supplements for the woman to make your husband drink the green juice You shellfish I'll drink green. I there are supplements that women can take to help But I won't recommend any because I don't want to recommend any unless a woman works with a doctor or functional medicine practitioner because some of the profertility Herbs that women can take can also reduce fertility if it's the if it's the wrong woman if she's taking it and it's not for her But for a man a man can take horny goatweed Tribulus terrestris he could supplement with zinc and then ashwagandha all of those have been shown to improve sperm Motility sperm number sperm health Those are all supplements I took when I was trying for my first two kids and you know it only took us a couple months or whatever And they tend to help but yeah for for women generally you want to be healthy and you don't want to go low in anything You're not trying to go no carb And you're not trying to go low fat You want to kind of have everything because you want your body to think things are ample.
