Roohi Jeelani: Is Modern Life Actually Making It Harder to Get Pregnant?
Roohi Jeelani, Chief Executive Officer and Founder at Onto Health, shared on LinkedIn:
“Is modern life actually making it harder to get pregnant?
As a reproductive endocrinologist, I get asked some version of this question all the time. And there isn’t one simple answer.
Fertility is influenced by factors we can’t change, like age and genetics.
But we also have growing research around the role that nutrition, chronic stress, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and other environmental exposures can play in reproductive health.
What I think is important, and often gets lost in this conversation, is perspective.
This isn’t about eliminating every plastic from your home, following the ‘perfect’ fertility diet, or adding more stress to an already stressful process.
It’s about understanding where the evidence is strongest, where we still have more to learn, and which small changes may actually be worth making.
Because when it comes to fertility, awareness can be empowering.
Perfection usually isn’t.
I explain the research and share practical tips for reducing everyday exposures and supporting reproductive health in my latest Substack article, ‘Is Modern Life Hurting Fertility?’
Read it here.”
