Harmful Toxins Cause Infertility
The purpose of a fertility detox is to assist the elimination of harmful toxins that have accumulated in your body over the years and that are affecting the functioning of your reproductive system.
During your life time you have undoubtedly been exposed to numerous chemicals, such as:
1. Hormones present in non-organically raised meat, milk, and eggs.
2. Pesticides present in non-organically grown fruits and vegetables.
3. Heavy metals like mercury present in dental fillings, certain type of fish, and even cosmetics.
4. Household cleaning products.
5. Pollutants in the environment, especially if you live in a large city.
6. Use of plastic containers to store food and water.
7. Use of microwave ovens.
8. Smoke, alcohol, prescription medications and other substances.
9. Use of birth control pill and synthetic hormones.
10. Immunization containing thymerosal, a mercury derivate, aluminum and other toxic adjuvants.
As a result of this, your liver, which is the body's primary elimination organ, has become overburden and incapable of eliminating all the toxins present in your body. When your liver is under-functioning, the toxins are not completely eliminated.
These toxins are stored in other organs, including your uterus, glands, muscles, fat tissue and ovaries, or worse they are re-introduced into your blood circulation causing more toxicity. This phenomenon is known in alternative medicine as central toxaemia and can only be eliminated through cleansing.
Now, let's have you take a look at how poor diet or unhealthy diet affects male & female fertility
HEALTHY DIET
A healthy diet is one that provides adequate levels of vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrate and healthy fats from a variety of foods.
UNHEALTHY DIET
An unhealthy diet (or poor diet), in contrast, is one that contains too much saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, sodium, added sugars and processed ingredients or contains too few nutrients.
Unhealthy diets result in a poor nutrient-to-calorie ratio, which can lead to weight gain and malnutrition as well as related health problems.
Whether you are trying to conceive naturally or through IVF / IUIs, BPA is a big problem.
Unfortunately, this is just another significant gap in modern fertility treatments and a clear example how sometimes state of the art medicine fails to go to the source of a problem and is masking / treating symptoms instead.
What is BPA?
BPA stands for Bisphenol A and it belongs to a family of chemical substances with very similar properties. I don’t mean to go into chemistry here, but you just need to know that the same way we are talking about Bisphenol A, there is also Bisphenol S, F etc.
Although most of our research is focused on BPA, it is the family of bisphenols that is the problem here, not only this specific member of the group. If you get this, then the whole BPA-free discussion at the end of this post will make A LOT more sense
⏩ BPA is a hormone disruptor because once it enters the body, it behaves like estrogen, it binds to cell receptors pretending it is estrogen and eventually messes up the natural estrogen production and hormone balance of our body.
⏩ In fact, we know that BPA also interferes with the activity of testosterone, thyroid hormones and even insulin, all hormones of prime importance for fertility. This causes numerous health problems, infertility being only one of them.
⏩ Women with PCOS have been found to have higher levels of BPA. Considering that this chemical affects insulin and is associated with insulin resistance, this relationship with PCOS is hardly a surprise. After all, according to a large study by the CDC in 2008, BPA exposure is linked to diabetes, heart disease and liver toxicity.
⏩ BPA decreases the production of estrogen in the ovaries and also blocks its ability to bind to its receptors, both very serious problems for ovulation and reproductive hormone regulation.
⏩ BPA affects egg quality and conception rates
Studies have shown that exposure to even small amounts of BPA in the final stages of egg maturation causes chromosomal abnormalities.
In 2008 one of the first-of-its-kind studies showed that women who didn’t achieve a pregnancy through IVF rounds had higher amounts of BPA in their blood.
More data in 2011 and 2012, showed that women with high BPA levels going through IVF cycles had less eggs retrieved and their eggs were less likely to get fertilized.
⏩ BPA affects embryos and early pregnancy
But this is not just about the number of eggs. According to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health women with above average BPA levels also had less 5-day old embryos available to transfer and their embryos were less likely to implant.
Women with the highest BPA exposure had almost twice the odds of implantation failure, compared to the women with the lowest exposure.
Harvard researchers speculate that BPA affects the environment in the uterus in a way that prevents implantation of the fertilized egg. And women with low ovarian reserve seem to be more sensitive to the effects of BPA.
But again, it’s not just that. BPA exposure is also linked to increased risk of miscarriage. A small study in Japan has showed that women who experience recurrent miscarriages had about three times higher BPA concentrations than the control group.
Evidence from the US is even scarier showing that women with the highest exposure to BPA had 80% risk of miscarriage, compared to the women with the lowest concentrations.

Unhealthy diets result in a poor nutrient-to-calorie ratio, which can lead to weight gain and malnutrition as well as related health problems.
EFFECTS OF UNHEALTHY DIETS
⏩ Nutrient Deficiency
A healthy diet provides the nutrition your body needs to grow, maintain itself and function properly. A variety of fresh, whole foods serve as an abundant source of nutrients.
However, the typical American diet often lacks adequate levels of key nutrients such as potassium, dietary fiber, calcium and vitamin D. Over time, failing to get enough calcium can cause bone loss, low levels of vitamin D can cause bone weakness and not getting the recommended levels of potassium can lead to fatigue and muscle weakness. Fiber helps keep your colon healthy and reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
⏩ Chronic Disease
A nutritious diet provides the nutrients that help your body ward off disease. Over time, a diet lacking in nutrients and high in fat, salt or sugar can result in the development of chronic conditions. Following an unhealthy diet increases your risk for cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer and osteoporosis, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010.
⏩ Extra Pounds
When it comes to preventing chronic disease, weight maintenance is of primary concern. Excess weight is one of the primary effects of an unhealthy diet.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines overweight as having a body mass index, or BMI, of 25 or higher. Factors that often contribute to a high BMI include insufficient fruits, vegetables and whole grains; diets high in meat and fried foods; consistent intake of high-calorie beverages like soda; and not getting enough physical activity.
⏩ The Domino Effect
Once your BMI reaches 30 or above, you are considered obese, and more than 35 percent of adults in America fall into this category, according to the CDC.
Obesity increases your risk of developing a host of health problems including heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, sleep apnea, diseases of the liver and gallbladder, osteoarthritis and gynecological problems including infertility.
