“Just lose weight.”
“Don't worry until you've been trying for over year."
”Don't stress so much”
“Nutrition doesn't affect sperm quality.”
Have you been struggling to conceive naturally or have received unhelpful advice like this?
“Just take a prenatal, you’ll be fine.”
“cut out all processed foods & gluten ”
"You're born with all of the eggs you'll ever have, there's nothing you can do to improve your chances."
Statements like these are incredibly invalidating and unhelpful.
I want you to be able to stop spending late nights stressing out while googling your questions and and have a trusted & qualified nutrition professional to be there to answer your questions.
There are evidence-based changes that we can make to improve fertility for all genders without restrictive diets. You can conceive and have a healthy pregnancy in any size body. As a body positive fertility dietitian, I take an intuitive & holistic approach to help my clients have a healthy relationship with food, nourish their bodies, and support a healthy pregnancy.
We offer an inclusive space & specialize in helping LGBTQIA+ individuals & couples who are trying to conceive.
Whether you have been trying to get pregnant without success, or are simply trying to improve your chances for conception and a healthy pregnancy, contacting a fertility dietitian is a great first step!
With so much conflicting information on the internet, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by where to begin or how to implement these changes in your own life. While many factors regarding fertility may be out of your control, your nutrition is one that you can take back control over.
Optimizing nutrition has been shown to improve fertility by almost 70%, and can reduce the risks of allergies, eczema, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes for your future child.
We help those:
-
Who have been trying to conceive for at least 6 months with no luck
-
Who have been told that you have unexplained infertility
-
Who have irregular or heavy periods
-
Who have been diagnosed with PCOS or another reproductive disorder
-
Who are considering or undergoing IVF
-
Who want to improve their chances of success and having a healthy baby
-
Who are overwhelmed with all the fertility nutrition information out there and need an expert who can give them evidence-based advice on how to conceive & grow a healthy baby
We can also help even if you are not trying to become pregnant, but simply want to optimize your reproductive health!
