Episode 93: Pregnancy Myths, Busted: What You Can Actually Eat, Do, and Stop Worrying About

Up to 80% of pregnant people receive advice that directly contradicts current medical evidence — this episode cuts through the noise.In This Episode, We Answer:<ul><li>Can I drink coffee while pregnant?</li><li>Is it safe to have sex during pregnancy?</li><li>Should I be exercising while pregnant?</li><li>Am I really eating for two?</li><li>Do I need to "bounce back" after having a baby?</li></ul>Key Takeaways:<ol><li>Up to 200 milligrams of caffeine per day is safe during pregnancy according to current guidelines. That is roughly one 12-ounce cup of brewed coffee or two shots of espresso. Matcha is about 40 to 60 milligrams per cup.</li><li>Exercise during pregnancy is not only safe, it is recommended. The 140 beats per minute heart rate cap has been removed. Canada's 2019 guidelines recommend working up to 150 minutes per week at moderate intensity, and research shows blood flow to the baby is protected even during high-intensity exercise.</li><li>"Bounce back" is not a health goal. Your brain, your body, and your physiology have been reprogrammed in pregnancy to optimize your new role. Postpartum recovery involves your pelvic floor, your core, your hormones, your mental health, and your energy — not just what you see in the mirror.</li></ol>Quick Answers (FAQ):Q: Can I drink coffee while pregnant? A: Yes, in moderation. Current guidelines recommend staying under 200 milligrams of caffeine per day. That is one 12-ounce brewed coffee or two espresso shots. Matcha is lower at 40 to 60 milligrams per cup. We go deeper into this at 03:45.Q: Is sex safe during pregnancy? A: Yes, for most pregnancies. There are specific medical conditions like placenta previa, cervical insufficiency, and preterm premature rupture of membranes where pelvic rest is prescribed, and your provider will tell you if that applies to you. Otherwise there is no contraindication. We go deeper into this at 05:30.Q: Should I be exercising while pregnant? A: Yes. The old 140 beats per minute heart rate cap has been removed. Canada's 2019 guidelines recommend 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity activity. Research using fetal heart rate monitoring during exercise has shown that blood flow to the baby is protected, even at high intensities. We go deeper into this at 10:15.Q: How much extra food do I actually need during pregnancy? A: Almost none in the first trimester. A modest increase in the second trimester and a bit more in the third. "Eating for two adults" is not what the evidence supports. We go deeper into this at 15:00.Resources Mentioned:<ul><li>Canada's 2019 Pregnancy-Specific Physical Activity Guidelines (free access online)</li></ul>Related Episodes:<ul><li>Fertility Masterclass Part 1: Are You Actually Ovulating?</li><li>Fertility Masterclass Part 2: The Immune System's Role in Getting and Staying Pregnant</li><li>Coming next in the fertility series: circulation and structural fertility</li></ul>Connect With Us:<ul><li>Website: <a href="http://advancedwomenshealth.ca/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">advancedwomenshealth.ca</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/drsarah_nd" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@drsarah_nd</a> | <a href="https://instagram.com/advancedwomenshealth" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@advancedwomenshealth</a></li><li>Book an appointment: <a href="http://advancedwomenshealth.ca/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">advancedwomenshealth.ca</a></li></ul>Leave a review: wherever you're listening, it helps other women find this episode

Episode 91: Fertility Masterclass: Are You Actually Ovulating? What Your Period, AMH, and FSH Results Really Mean

If you have a regular period and assume that means you are ovulating, this episode will change how you understand your cycle, your hormones, and your fertility.In This Episode, We Answer:<ul><li>How do I know if I'm actually ovulating?</li><li>What does AMH actually mean and is mine too low?</li><li>Can I have a regular period and still not ovulate?</li><li>Why does it take so long to get a fertility diagnosis?</li><li>What blood tests should I ask for if I'm trying to conceive?</li></ul> Key Takeaways:<ol><li>Having a regular period does not mean you are ovulating. A bleed can occur without ovulation, and the only way to confirm ovulation is by tracking LH, progesterone, and estrogen through the cycle. Not just on day 2 or 3.</li><li>AMH is a useful marker of ovarian reserve but it is not the complete picture. Primordial follicle pools do not contribute to AMH. A low AMH with a normal antral follicle count can indicate ovarian inflammation, stress, or follicles stuck in arrest, not necessarily permanent diminished reserve.</li><li>Not ovulating has consequences far beyond fertility. Progesterone and estrogen affect the immune system, brain health, glucose metabolism, muscle development, sleep quality, and inflammation. If you are not ovulating at any age, it is worth understanding why.</li></ol>Quick Answers (FAQ):Q: How do I know if I'm actually ovulating?A: A period alone does not confirm ovulation. You need to track LH and progesterone across your full cycle. At-home urinary hormone monitors like Mira can show you the full picture. Blood work on cycle day 2 to 4 (FSH, LH, estradiol) plus a progesterone test 7 days after ovulation gives a clearer view. We go deeper into this at 07:00.Q: What does AMH actually mean and is mine too low?A: AMH (anti-Mullerian hormone) is a marker of how many follicles are actively developing, not a direct count of all your eggs. Primordial follicles, which are eggs in reserve, do not contribute to AMH. A low AMH does not necessarily mean you have no eggs. It can mean your follicles are stuck and not being recruited due to inflammation or stress. We go deeper into this at 18:00.Q: Can I have a regular period and still not ovulate?A: Yes. Dr. Sarah describes a patient who bled every 30 to 40 days but had no evidence of ovulation on cycle monitoring. The bleed was not a true period because no egg had been released and no progesterone had been made. We go deeper into this at 09:30.Q: What blood tests should I ask for if I'm trying to conceive?A: At minimum: FSH, LH, and estradiol on cycle day 2 to 4. AMH. Progesterone 7 days post-ovulation. Prolactin. Thyroid (TSH, T3, T4, anti-TPO, anti-TG). Two-hour insulin and glucose challenge test. Inflammatory markers (ESR, CRP). HbA1c, vitamin D, iron, ferritin. If PMOS or PCOS is suspected, add testosterone and DHEA. We go deeper into this at 49:00.Resources Mentioned:<ul><li>Mira: at-home urinary hormone monitor used at AWH for cycle tracking</li><li>AWH Fertility Fellowship: advanced fertility training for AWH practitioners</li><li>Nature article referenced: "Anti-Mullerian Hormone as an Ovarian Reserve Marker in Primary Ovarian Insufficiency"</li><li>Book a fertility consult: <a href="http://advancedwomenshealth.ca">advancedwomenshealth.ca</a></li><li>Email the team: <a href="mailto:info@advancedwomenshealth.ca">info@advancedwomenshealth.ca</a></li><li>Advanced Men's Health (sperm-side fertility): <a href="http://advancedmenshealth.ca">advancedmenshealth.ca</a></li></ul>Related Episodes:<ul><li>Episode 81: PCOS is now PMOS, what does it mean for you</li><li>Episode 86: Metabolic Rehab Type 1, insulin and insulin resistance</li></ul> Connect With Us:<ul><li>Website: <a href="http://advancedwomenshealth.ca">advancedwomenshealth.ca</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/drsarah_nd">@drsarah_nd</a> | <a href="https://instagram.com/advancedwomenshealth">@advancedwomenshealth</a></li><li>Book a fertility consult: <a href="http://advancedwomenshealth.ca">advancedwomenshealth.ca</a></li><li>Email: <a href="mailto:info@advancedwomenshealth.ca">info@advancedwomenshealth.ca</a></li></ul> Leave a review: wherever you're listening, it helps other women find this episode

Episode 90: Ask Dr. Sarah: Muscle, Protein, Probiotics, and Gut Health Myths

If you have been wondering why your supplements and fitness routine are not moving the needle, Dr. Sarah is answering the questions patients are actually asking in clinic.In This Episode, We Answer:<ul><li>Is muscle mass really that important for inflammation and metabolism?</li><li>How much protein do I actually need to build muscle?</li><li>Does my protein intake change if I have insulin resistance?</li><li>Are probiotics actually worth taking?</li><li>Do I need to worry about pre- and post-workout nutrition before fixing my basics?</li></ul>Key Takeaways:<ol><li>Muscle is not just for strength. It is your main glucose disposal site, a source of immune-signaling compounds called myokines, and a key factor in bone health, insulin sensitivity, and longevity. Building and preserving it is one of the highest-yield things you can do for your health at any age.</li><li>Your protein requirements depend on your metabolic state. A metabolically healthy person and someone with insulin resistance need different amounts and types of protein to stimulate muscle growth. One gram per pound is a reference for healthy people, not a universal prescription.</li><li>Most people do not need a probiotic. In many cases, gut symptoms come from too many bacteria, not too few. Adding a probiotic to an already-overgrown environment can make symptoms worse. The more important question is why the terrain allowed those bugs to overgrow in the first place.</li></ol>Quick Answers (FAQ):Q: Is muscle mass really that important for inflammation and metabolism? A: Yes. Muscle is your main glucose disposal site, produces immune-signaling compounds called myokines, supports bone density, and plays a direct role in regulating inflammation. The research shows low muscle mass and high inflammation are closely correlated, though the causation runs both ways. We go deeper into this at 03:45.Q: How much protein do I actually need to build muscle? A: For metabolically healthy people eating animal-based protein, 25 to 30 grams per meal is enough to trigger muscle protein synthesis via leucine. But this number changes significantly if you have insulin resistance, high inflammation, or are older. There is no universal answer without knowing your metabolic state. We go deeper into this at 10:45.Q: Are probiotics actually worth taking? A: Sometimes, but most people do not need them. Many gut symptoms come from bacterial overgrowth, not bacterial deficiency. Adding more bacteria to an overloaded environment worsens symptoms. The goal is to understand why the terrain allowed the overgrowth and fix that, rather than use a probiotic as a long-term fix. We go deeper into this at 25:00.Q: Do I need to worry about pre and post-workout nutrition before fixing my basics? A: No. If you are dealing with insulin resistance, the priority is getting your general daily meals right first: protein at every meal, stable blood sugar, consistent timing. Micromanaging your post-workout protein shake while eating a chocolate chip muffin for breakfast is backwards. We go deeper into this at 19:30.Resources Mentioned:<ul><li>Advanced Metabolic Rehab program: <a href="http://advancedwomenshealth.ca/">advancedwomenshealth.ca</a></li><li>Clinically guided programs: <a href="mailto:info@advancedwomenshealth.ca">info@advancedwomenshealth.ca</a></li><li>Advanced Men's Health: <a href="http://advancedmenshealth.ca/">advancedmenshealth.ca</a></li><li>Dr. Sam: Dr. Samantha Maloney, ND, AWH Brooklyn/Whitby location</li></ul>
