The production of Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is regulated by a complex network within the brain, and mounting evidence suggests that nutritional status is a key modulator. A balanced diet, rich in specific vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats, can therefore significantly impact the overall function of the endocrine system.

Contrary to some popular health myths, research consistently shows that short-term nutritional deprivation can suppress the reproductive axis. So, **does fasting increase GnRH**? The scientific consensus is that significant caloric restriction, often seen in fasting, typically leads to a decrease in GnRH pulsatility and subsequent reproductive hormone levels.
