Description

A complete fertility diet program for women seeking a healthy pregnancy—with expert advice, nutritional guidance, and over 100 recipes from certified RDNs

Struggling with infertility can be one of the most frustrating experiences for women looking to conceive. Rather than juggle multiple prescription medications all while scheduling an endless series of doctors’ visits, Fertility Foods helps you to seek better results—just by changing your diet.

As you prepare to enter one of the most significant times in your life, you owe it to yourself and your future children to make sure that your body has absolutely everything it needs, at the proper times and in the proper quantities. Fertility Foods includes:

• Over 100 nutritious, satisfying dishes to boost your fertility
• Dietary breakdowns to help you understand what will help your body conceive, and why
• Tips on managing stress and other lifestyle factors
• Heartfelt support and guidance from women who have struggled with infertility
• A how-to guide on putting together a healthy kitchen

Fertility Foods is more than just a diet plan or cookbook. It’s a companion—a constant support system that will provide you with the information you need to ensure you receive proper nutrition before conception.

Praise for Fertility Foods: 100+ Recipes to Nourish Your Body While Trying to Conceive

"In my years in practice as a Reproductive Endocrinologist, one consistent question asked by both women and men is 'What can I (we) do to improve chances to conceive?' Although a thorough medical evaluation is essential, many patients seek opportunities where they themselves can affect positive change. Engaging in a healthy diet and lifestyle is something patients can have control over to improve fertility. Knowing what changes to make, however, is difficult, and that is where Fertility Foods comes in! Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Haas, both registered dietitian nutritionists, present scientifically-supported information in which readers can feel confident, and they present it in a friendly and readable manner. They take the mystery out of what to eat, how to eat and most importantly, why to eat a nutrient-dense diet to optimize fertility. And as a budding foodie myself, I can attest that the recipes are delicious!"
—Wendy B. Shelly, MD, FACOG, Fertility Specialists Medical Group

"I wholeheartedly believe in practicing medicine with Mind, Body and Soul in mind, and I love how that Fertility Foods incorporates nutrition into making your mind, body and soul whole. This book can be for anyone looking to feel great inside and out. Easy to read and learn new concepts. Get ready to take on a yummy, nutritional, wholesome way of life."
—Angelica Neison, MD, Sharp Rees-Stealy Mira Mesa

"...an impressive compendium of more than 100 recipes for dishes that are unfailingly palate pleasing, appetite satisfying, and conducive to enhancing and fortifying fertility. Profusely and beautifully illustrated throughout, [...] a unique and unreservedly recommended addition to family and community library cookbook collections."
