In their groundbreaking book, Fertility Foods, Dr. Jeremy Groll and Lorie Groll will provide infertile couples with well-substantiated hope that they can one day conceive. By prescribing a prescriptive program based on an insulin reducing diet, aerobic exercise, and emotional support this book will bring couples closer to that dream. Dr. Groll's specialized research has demonstrated a powerful link between a body's insulin resistance and fertility problems. High insulin levels, caused by resistance to insulin, stimulate the ovaries and adrenal glands, over-producing several hormones including testosterone. These hormonal changes hinder normal ovulation by either limiting the maturation process of the released egg or preventing ovulation all together. Insulin levels can also impact a new pregnancy's ability to attach to the uterus, leading to implantation failure and miscarriage. In fact, Dr. Groll's research indicates that women with insulin resistance problems are 4 to 5 times as likely than women with resistance to insulin to suffer miscarriages-meaning they have a 50% chance of miscarriage. By prescribing a diet that improves insulin resistance and helps to maintain positive insulin levels, couples can more than double rates of spontaneous ovulation and significantly increase the uterine environment to aid successful implementation. Dr. Groll also introduces new research related to the crucial role of weight management for women hoping to become pregnant and addresses the strategies needed to hit the target weight that will improve the chances for successful conception and delivery. Dr. Groll includes information on the foods that help to increase sperm count and the nutritional deficiencies that may negatively impact sperm count. His program can be used as an alternative to other fertility treatments or as an adjunct to fertility treatments in an effort to increase their effectiveness. The core of Dr. Groll's program is diet. He has created a more...
