Tips to Increase Fertility with Food and Exercise with Dr. Sasha Hakman

I'm so excited to have Dr. Sasha Hakman on the show today! She is a board-certified OBGYN and reproductive endocrinologist, and she brings a unique perspective to fertility because of her personal journey with PCOS, her athletic background, and her passion for lifestyle optimization. We talked about how strength training, nutrition, and exercise can support reproductive health, whether you're trying to conceive naturally, undergoing IUI or IVF, or managing PCOS. Sasha shares her expert advice, practical tips, and inspiration for staying consistent with your workouts and making meal planning easier — all while supporting your fertility and overall health.

During this episode, we cover the science behind exercise and fertility, why strength training is so important, how to safely incorporate movement while trying to conceive, meal planning strategies for busy women, plant-based protein sources, and how women with PCOS can optimize their lifestyle to improve reproductive outcomes. Sasha's personal story and professional guidance make this episode packed with actionable tips and motivation for anyone on a fertility journey.

Some of the questions we discussed:

How strength training and compound exercises can support reproductive health
The best ways to safely exercise during IUI, IVF, and pregnancy
