'Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show' Episode 84: Talking Low-Carb Living And Fertility With Dr. Gil Wilshire
Dr. Gil Wilshire says PCOS is a growing fertility concern for women
In Episode 84 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore," we hear from reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Gil Wilshire at the Columbia, Missouri-based Mid-Missouri Reproductive Medicine & Surgery Clinic discuss polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), obesity, and infertility to see how livin' la vida low-carb is part of the solution to these health issues.

Dr. Wilshire is one of the leading physicians in the field of fertility, but one of only a handful nationwide who actually implores a controlled-carbohydrate approach (or "nutrient-dense" as he likes to refer to it) with his mostly overweight patients who are having trouble getting pregnant. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have a spouse who just happens to be the most popular low-carb blogger on the planet living under the same roof, too (she even brags on hubby today in this blog post about my interview with him)!

Dr. Wilshire is certainly on the cutting edge of the latest scientific data regarding carbohydrate-restriction as it relates to the child-bearing health of his patients. Why do you think low-carb living hasn't caught on yet among his colleagues and do you think there will be more people like Dr. Gil Wilshire turning to this healthy nutritional approach in the future of reproductive care? Tell me what you think about treating PCOS, obesity, and infertility with a low-carb diet.

Good luck Jimmy and Christine! Jimmy low carb has been good to you so far, maybe it will bless you with one more success, or three or four.
Ironically, it was my PCOS that first lead me to low carb living about 10 years ago. Team of experts #1 diagnosed me with a minor case of PCOS at age 31, Team of experts #2 put me on Metformin about a year later (which was dreadful) but they also suggested that there was a connection between insulin resistance and PCOS. At that time a low carb diet stabilized my cycles somewhat but ultimately it was IVF (with the help of Team of Experts #3!) that turned me into a mother of twins 6 years ago.
I cannot help but believe there is a connection between my PCOS, Insulin Resistance and my inability to get pregnant without modern technology. And it may be more widely accepted now but it certainly wasn't when I was in the thick of things. In fact the use of Metformin to treat me was considered "experimental" by a top Reproductive Endocrinologist at a major NYC hospital
Thank goodness for the advances of modern medicine and Drs who think a little outside the box.
