I used to think regulating my cycle would mean expensive labs, supplements, or meds.

But the biggest changes didn’t come from what I bought, they came from how I lived.

✔️ I shifted to a hormone-supportive way of eating (more whole grains, leafy greens, healthy fats, less processed stuff)

✔️ I moved my body regularly, but didn’t push past my energy limits

✔️ I stopped obsessing over perfection and let go of the pressure to “do it all right”

✔️ I managed stress not by eliminating it, but by softening my nervous system and letting joy back in

Sometimes, it’s not the fancy things that change things, it’s the small, consistent choices rooted in what your body actually needs.

No strict plans. Just science-backed shifts that supported my hormones and gave my body space to recalibrate.

Thinking about trying something similar?

 You don’t need to do it all. Start with one small change, and go from there.

Red light therapy is having a moment, but is it worth it for fertility?

Here’s the quick take:

✨ There’s not great evidence.

✨ There are open questions about long-term safety.

✨ And most of the buzz? Comes from people profiting from the products. (Yikes.)

It’s marketed with science-y words like photobiomodulation and oxidative stress, but when we actually look at the research, it’s mostly animal studies, poor-quality trials, or papers written by people who literally sell red light machines. 

One paper (widely quoted) doesn’t even include a proper control group and was authored by a laser lab owner… who unsurprisingly concluded his treatment was effective. 😬

And let’s not forget: most blogs hyping this up also link you straight to an affiliate shop.
At Doveras, we’ll always cut through the noise and give you what’s science-based:

⚡ If you’re trying to reduce oxidative stress, there are better, safer, evidence-backed ways to do it.

⚡ And we’ll help you find the ones that actually work for you.

If you’ve ever typed “foods to avoid when TTC” into Google, you’ve probably seen someone say:

No sugar.
No bread.
No fruit.
No joy.

🍦The good news? You don’t have to cut out sugar completely. 

It’s about understanding how blood sugar and insulin impact your hormones, especially the ones that regulate ovulation and fertility.

✨ When your blood sugar spikes too often, your body produces more insulin.

✨ When that happens repeatedly, it can cause insulin resistance.

✨ And that can mess with your reproductive hormones, even if your labs look “normal.”

But, you don’t have to overhaul your entire diet. Small changes can go a long way. Here are 6 easy blood sugar hacks for fertility:

🥜 Eat protein or nuts before carbs

🥦 Save your carbs for last at meals

🥖 Swap white bread for whole grains

🚶‍♀️ Go for a walk after eating

🍇 Eat the whole fruit (don’t juice it)

📉 Minimize ultra-processed snacks

If you’re trying to support your fertility through food…

Here’s what I look for when I’m grocery shopping as a fertility expert:

🥬 Anti-inflammatory basics:

Leafy greens, cruciferous veggies, berries, omega-3s

Think: foods that calm the nervous system and support hormone regulation

🥑 Blood sugar stabilizers:

Protein sources (eggs, poultry, tofu)

High-fiber carbs (beans, oats, lentils, quinoa)

Healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, nuts)

🥩 Cycle-supportive nutrients:

Folate from leafy greens

Iron from lentils and red meat

Zinc and selenium from seafood (or pumpkin seeds if you’re plant-based)

🧅 Gut health staples:

Fermented foods like kefir, yogurt, kimchi, or sauerkraut
Prebiotic-rich veggies like onions, leeks, and asparagus

🍎 Low-tox swaps:

Organic if possible for the “Dirty Dozen”

Glass over plastic

Fewer additives, more whole ingredients

You don’t need to buy out the organic aisle or go 100% perfect. But small shifts in your cart = big shifts in your cycle.

🤍 Save this for your next grocery trip.

I ditched the juice cleanse and started doing this instead (Hint: It’s actually backed by science.)

🍋 Comment HORMONES and I’ll DM you our Hormone Cheat Sheet 

Let’s talk fertility “detoxes”, because despite what your feed says,

🚫 Liver cleanses

🚫 Fertility teas

🚫 Crash diets

…aren’t it.

True detoxification for fertility isn’t about extremes. It’s about reducing repeated chemical exposures,  the quiet, everyday ones that disrupt hormones over time.

Instead of buying into gimmicks, I started:

✔️ Swapping out empties for safer products
Want to understand what’s happening with your hormones while trying to conceive?

✔️ Prioritizing changes that I use daily

✔️ Using science-backed shortcuts like the EWG, Think Dirty, and Doveras recs

No quick fixes. Just small steps that actually work for my hormones (and future baby plans).
