In this episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, Michelle Oravitz, shares the only fasting approach she recommends for those trying to conceive, and why most intermittent fasting methods can actually harm fertility. Drawing from both modern research and Ayurvedic principles, Michelle explains how to sync your eating habits with your body's natural circadian rhythm to support balanced hormones, stable blood sugar, and optimal digestion.

She breaks down how to determine if fasting is right for you (hint: it depends on insulin resistance and PCOS type), the best time of day to eat your biggest meal, and how the ProLon fasting-mimicking diet can help restore metabolic balance without depleting your energy or fertility.

If you've ever wondered whether fasting could fit into your fertility journey, this episode offers a grounded, fertility-safe way to approach it.

Key Takeaways:

  • Not all fasting methods are fertility-friendly, skipping breakfast can increase stress hormones and harm reproductive balance.
  • Those with insulin resistance or insulin-resistant PCOS may benefit from specific, gentle fasting approaches.
  • Your largest meal should align with your body's strongest digestion period (midday, when the sun is highest).
  • Finishing dinner 2–4 hours before bed supports better sleep, hormone repair, and digestive rest.
  • ProLon's fasting-mimicking protocol can enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce stubborn weight safely.
  • Always test, not guess, consult your healthcare provider before starting any fasting or supplement plan.
