In this insightful episode of Fertile Talks, Dr. Famuyiwa takes a closer look at the growing use of adaptogenic supplements—specifically ashwagandha and rhodiola—in managing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and supporting fertility. While these plant-based compounds promise stress relief and hormone balance, Dr. Famuyiwa explores why caution is key, especially for women with PCOS, thyroid issues, or those taking common medications like metformin or oral contraceptives.
She breaks down the potential benefits, risks, and gaps in the research, offering clear guidance on when and how these supplements might be safely considered—and when to steer clear. Plus, she touches on preliminary data about ashwagandha’s effects on male fertility.
Whether you're managing PCOS or exploring fertility-friendly supplements, this episode delivers essential information to help you make safe, informed choices.
