Nutritionist Discusses Issue That Women Have With Thyroid And Infertility
In her latest Instagram post, Loveneet Batra has explained that many women are unaware that ovulation can be disrupted by even minor thyroid-related issues, particularly subclinical hypothyroidism.
Despite eating a balanced diet and using the right health tracking techniques, she has addressed a common worry among women: irregular menstruation and difficulties in conceiving.
Loveneet Batra has mentioned that the reproductive hormones may not be coordinating properly, even though your periods appear to be regular enough.
'It's like your body is prepared... but the signal to release the egg isn't firing properly,' she said.

Many women think that their reproductive health can be maintained with just a healthy diet and vitamins. Even with these efforts, some women still experience irregular menstrual cycles.
This can occur without the typical signs of losing hair, weight increase, or exhaustion; thus, it often goes undetected because of no symptoms.
Nutritionist Loveneet Batra explained that your thyroid is a key player in your hormonal orchestra, and 'even the slightest off note can impact fertility.'
The thyroid gland controls energy levels, metabolism, and many other body processes, including reproductive health. Ovulation can be impeded and ovarian function adversely affected by even a mild thyroid imbalance.
Loveneet Batra has, thus, suggested undergoing certain tests if you are experiencing difficulties in conceiving and menstrual irregularities persist.
In addition to the standard Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) test, one should consider Free T3 and Free T4, Vitamin D (essential for hormonal balance), TPO antibodies (to check for autoimmune thyroid disorders), and Prolactin (high levels can suppress ovulation).
The nutritionist has advised that this information be shared with anyone who would find it useful to know how thyroid health and reproductive issues are related.
People can work towards improving their reproductive health and resolving irregular menstruation cycles by being aware of these connections and taking the necessary actions.

Cardiologist explains why even after eating healthy 90% people feel bloated, tired and aren't able to lose weight
Has it ever happened to you that you are doing everything right - exercising minimum 3 times a week, going on walks, and eating healthy food - but you are still not feeling okay? Well, one of the reasons behind it is that you are getting 'eating healthy' wrong. Nutrition isn't one-size-fits-all. It's data. It's biology. It's personal. (Shutterstock) Also Read | Cardiologist warns 'your blood tests don't tell the full story'; suggests 1 test that catches insulin resistance early In an Instagram post shared on July 14, Dr Sanjay Bhojraj, MD, functional medicine doctor and cardiologist, shared what '90 percent of people get wrong about healthy eating'. He explained why, even after 'eating right', many people still feel bloated, tired, and not able to lose weight. Let's find out what he said: Are you eating healthy? Sharing the reason behind why this happens with a lot of people even after they eat healthy, Dr Bhojraj asked, 'You're eating 'healthy'…so why do you still feel tired, bloated, or off?' The reason: per the cardiologist, most people are following food rules that were never built for them — passed down from trends, not tailored to biology. Why does this happen? He added, 'That's why the weight won't stay off, why your sleep is still off, and why your labs still don't look right. Nutrition isn't one-size-fits-all. It's data. It's biology. It's personal. At my clinic, my team and I help patients lose up to 30 pounds in 10 weeks — without losing muscle, risking side effects, or relying on quick-fix meds like Ozempic.' According to the specialist, following these rules is called precision nutrition, and it is grounded in functional practices. 'Better yet, it's a ripple effect: better energy, blood pressure, longevity, and the clarity your body's been craving,' he added. Lastly, he stressed, 'Your body isn't the problem. Your plan is.'

Can vaping cause cancer? Top NYC doctor responds
Vaping is increasingly becoming popular, especially among adolescents. Some consider it a safer alternative to conventional cigarettes. Its popularity among youngsters is raising concerns about its safety. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Whether vaping has any health risks, particularly if it has the potential to cause cancer, is a growing concern. Dr. Tim Tiutan, a New York City-based board-certified internal medicine physician who treats cancer patients, has weighed in on the issue. Before we dive into that, let's understand what vaping is. What is vaping Vaping involves inhaling an aerosol (not water vapor) produced by an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) or similar device called a vape. These devices heat a liquid, often called e-liquid or vape juice, which usually contains nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals, turning it into an aerosol that can be inhaled into the lungs. Vaping is similar to smoking a cigarette, but it does not involve burning tobacco. Vapes come in all shapes and sizes. These include e-pens, e-pipes, e-hookah, and e-cigars. Despite their variety, they contain the same basic components. Battery Heating element Place to hold e-liquid (such as a cartridge or pod) According to the American Lung Association, the following toxic chemicals and metals have all been found in e-cigarettes. Nicotine: It is a highly addictive substance that negatively affects adolescent brain development Propylene glycol: A common food additive, also used to make things like antifreeze, paint solvent, and artificial smoke in fog machines Carcinogens: These are chemicals known to cause cancer, including acetaldehyde and formaldehyde Acrolein: It is a herbicide primarily used to kill weeds. This chemical can cause irreversible lung damage Diacetyl: A chemical linked to a lung disease called bronchiolitis obliterans, aka 'popcorn lung' Diethylene glycol: A toxic chemical used in antifreeze that is linked to lung disease Heavy metals such as nickel, tin, lead Cadmium: A toxic metal found in traditional cigarettes that causes breathing problems and other illnesses Benzene: A volatile organic compound (VOC) found in car exhaust Ultrafine particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs So, it's not just vapor one is inhaling. Hidden dangers of vaping Though vaping is often assumed to be a safer alternative to traditional smoking, Dr. Tiutan warns that the substances used in it are far from harmless. 'I don't have to tell you that inhaling random unregulated substances can cause lung damage and heart disease,' the doctor said in a shared on Instagram. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He also quoted studies and added, 'Early studies also suggest vaping may increase cancer risk.' Vaping releases oxygen-free radicals that may cause DNA damage. He added that various compounds commonly found in vape liquid, like heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, can wreak havoc on health. 'I think there's so much more harm we've yet to discover so quit vaping,' he said. Top foods to prevent lung cancer A recent has found that vaping is more dangerous than traditional cigarettes. 'We found that these disposable devices have toxins already present in the e-liquid, or they're leaching quite extensively from their components into e-liquids and ultimately transferred to the smoke,' the researchers said. 'Our study highlights the hidden risk of these new and popular disposable electronic cigarettes — with hazardous levels of neurotoxic lead and carcinogenic nickel and antimony — which stresses the need for urgency in enforcement,' they confirmed.

How To Lose Belly Fat In Just 2 Weeks: This Fat-Burning Shot Might Actually Work
Looking for a natural way to fight bloating and stubborn belly fat? We found a drink (actually, a shot) that promises to burn fat quickly and also get rid of other health problems. Nutritionist Richa Gangani shared on Instagram her viral morning fat-burning shot - a 5-ingredient concoction that claims to fire up your metabolism, reduce inflammation, and help you shed inches from your waistline. "I had this every morning for 21 days, and trust me, my bloating was gone and I lost weight," Richa shared in her post, encouraging anyone struggling with bloating and sluggish digestion to give it a try. 5-Ingredient Morning Fat-Burning Shot For Belly Fat: Here's what goes into this simple yet powerful mix: 1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Juice of 1/2 lime A pinch of cinnamon + cayenne pepper Mix everything well and consume it on an empty stomach every morning. That's it. No fancy equipment, no supplements-just a shot glass of clean, natural ingredients. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Richa Gangani - Weightloss👉Thyroid👉PCOS Expert (@dieticianricha2095) Why These Ingredients Work For Weight Loss: 1. Benefits Of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) Often overlooked in weight loss journeys, EVOO is rich in healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. It helps reduce inflammation, improves digestion, and keeps you full for longer-making you less likely to snack unnecessarily. 2. Benefits Of Ginger: Ginger is a well-known digestive aid. It boosts metabolism, reduces bloating, and helps in fat breakdown. It also soothes the digestive tract and reduces water retention, which can often make you feel puffier than you are. 3. Benefits Of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV): ACV has been a long-time favourite in the wellness world. It's known to help regulate blood sugar levels, curb appetite, and improve gut health. Its acetic acid content plays a key role in breaking down body fat. 4. Benefits Of Lime Juice: Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, lime juice supports liver function and promotes detoxification. It also helps in the absorption of nutrients, especially iron, which is crucial for energy metabolism. 5. Benefits Of Cinnamon and Cayenne Pepper: This spice combo is a metabolism booster. While cinnamon helps regulate insulin and blood sugar levels, cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, which increases body heat and calorie burn- a process called thermogenesis. Does It Really Work? While no single shot can magically melt away belly fat, combining these ingredients with a balanced diet and regular movement can certainly support your wellness goals. The shot is anti-inflammatory, gut-friendly, and energising-factors that contribute to weight loss over time. The best part? It's natural, quick to prepare, and easily fits into any morning routine. So if bloating and stubborn belly fat have been bothering you, this 5-ingredient fat-burning shot might just be worth the 21-day experiment. As Richa puts it, "Do give this a try-you might be surprised by what your body can do with a little morning push." Disclaimer: Always consult your doctor or a registered dietitian before starting any new dietary routine, especially if you have underlying health conditions.
