Jenn, do you have any research material to support these statements, or is this something you have found based on personal experience? I have PCOS, and they have found a connection to insulin regulation that helps the symptoms. These points you make are really fascinating! My fertility specialist recommended the south beach diet, but can't really provide any supporting information other than "it seems to work the best for people with PCOS". Interesting that the #1 thing they are cutting out is simple carbs, sugars, white flour, white rice, etc...

In addition, my stepmother is studying to become an herbalist, and they recommend a liver cleanse to improve fertility.
