Fertility

Are you in the preconception period and have questions about how to nourish yourself? Are you experiencing difficulties conceiving and want to maximize your chances? A registered dietitian from ABC Health Clinic is here to help!

Nutrition plays a crucial role in fertility and preconception. Many factors related to nutrition can impact fertility in both men and women. Moreover, a woman’s nutritional and overall health before pregnancy has significant repercussions on fetal development. Nutrition appointments will provide you with a better understanding of the effect of certain nutrients on fertility, empowering you to make informed dietary choices. If you have questions about prenatal supplements, fertility diets, or foods that promote fertility, your registered dietitian is here to answer them!

The link between weight and fertility is well-known. However, it is easy to get lost in the misinformation surrounding weight found on the internet. Meeting with a registered dietitian can help you navigate through this information overload. Together, you can establish a realistic weight modification goal and implement strategies that allow you to achieve it in a healthy, safe, and sustainable way.

Several physical and mental health conditions related to nutrition can have a negative impact on fertility. For example, when poorly managed, conditions such as diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), celiac disease, and anorexia nervosa can all make conception more challenging. Nutrition appointments can assist you in adapting your diet to your specific health condition, aiming to reduce any negative impact it may have on your fertility.

Whether it’s better managing a health condition, modifying your weight, or ensuring that your diet provides all the necessary nutrients for a healthy pregnancy, your registered dietitian will be delighted to support you in achieving your goals.
