5 Fertility Superfoods You Should Know About
By hethir | August 8, 2008
If you have not found out yet, I am crazy about superfoods. Super foods are foods that are nutrient dense, have an abundance of minerals, vitamins, anitoxidants, and other beneficial ingredients in high amounts.
Superfoods should be a part of every couples fertility diet to help bridge the gap for proper nutrition, nourish the egg and the sperm, and help to balance hormones. Here is a rundown of 5 Fertility Superfoods your should know about:
Maca
Maca is a wonderful superfood from Peru which helps to balance the hormones, increase egg health, increase sperm count and sperm health while also being a tonic for the endocrine system. Maca also helps to increase progesterone if the body is low in this important hormone. Maca comes in capsules, powder and tincture. It can be taken everyday.
Royal Jelly
Royal jelly is another fertility specific superfood which may help to increase egg health, quality of egg, and genreal fertility. Royal jelly is the food that is fed to the queen bee which is what makes her the queen bee. She goes on to live 6 years and lays up to 2000 eggs per day. Most bees live less than two months.
Royal Jelly is rich in vitamins, A, B, C, D,and E. It is also contains minerals including calcium and iron, all of the essential amino acids plus antibacterial and immune stimulating properties.
Royal jelly comes in capsules or in a base of honey. It can be taken everyday.
Bee Propolis and Bee Pollen
Bee propollis and bee pollen are two more fertility super foods from our friends the bee. These foods are rich in nutrients. Bee pollen contains 50% more protein than beef and is rich in every vitamin and mineral. Bee Propolis is a powerful immune system stimulant and inflammation aid. It also helps women who have endometriosis.
Bee propolis and Bee Pollen are available in capsules or in a base of honey. They can be taken everyday. I like to take all three together in one product.
Whey protein powder
While we all know that protein is essential for a healthy diet, many women do not get enough protein in there diet daily. In the fertility diet it is essential to have protein with each meal so your blood sugar levels stay balanced. This can be hard in our daily lifestyles so I suggest for you to use a protein powder. But it can be hard to find a protein powder that is acceptable with a healthy fertility diet. All protein sources should be organic or raised without hormones and antibiotics, and the protein source should never be soy.
I have found one protein powder the is made from “clean” whey, which means it was made from cows milk that does not have any hormones or antibiotics. It is called True Whey. True Whey does not contain sugars, dyes, or artificial ingredients. This has been essential in many women sticking to there fertility diet.
Spirulina
Spirulina is a tiny aquatic plant has been eaten by humans since prehistoric times and is grown worldwide as a healthy food. Imagine a vegetable with more protein than soy, more Vitamin A than carrots, more iron than beef, profound source of protective phytochemicals, naturally low in fat, source of the essential fatty acid GLA and is easy to digest.
Spirulina makes it easy to get your greens every day. Spirulina is available in a powder form.

How To Get Your Period Back
By hethir | August 6, 2008
It can be quite frustrating if you are trying to get pregnant and yet have no period. having a healthy cycle is step one for boosting your fertility naturally and being able to get pregnant. There are a couple of reasons your cycle may be irregular such as stress, dietary deficiencies, low body weight, getting off of birth control pills, hormonal imbalance, or other underlying issues.
Since the lining of the uterus is not being shed, it is very important to clear out the old blood and establish a healthy cycle again. This can be done naturally and effectively with herbs and nutrition. I have talked with many clients who have been offered synthetic estrogens to get there periods going again… taking synthetic estrogen for this issue is like using a sledge hammer on a thumb tack.
Here are the steps you can take to get your period back:
1. Eat a healthy fertility diet. Diet is so important for a healthy menstrual cycle and reproductive system. What you eat impacts everything.
2. Take a whole food multivitamin. Iron deficiency is one of the major factors for women not having a menstrual cycle and lack of ovulation. Other nutritional deficiencies can cause the menstruation to cease.
3. Use herbs to help clear the stagnant blood and increase circulation to the uterus while balancing the hormones.
The best Herbs for amenorrhea (lack of menstruation)
Dong Quai
This is the main herb for this issue. Dong Quai works by promoting blood flow to the pelvis where it will stimulate an absant or scanty period. It also nourishes the blood (it is in nearly all chinese herbal blood-building formulas). Treats iron deficiency and anemia. One of the best uses is it helps women who are not menstruating to invite there menstruation back. The increased circulation also helps to stregthen and balance the uterus.
Vitex
Vitex is another great herb for amenorrhea due to hormonal imbalance. It helps to balance the hormones while not containing any hormones within the herb.
If you have not had a menstrual cycle for two or months you may want to do a Fertility Cleanse. The Fertility Cleanse helps to cleanse the uterus of old blood and tissues while helping the liver to get rid of excess hormones.
Be patient, the body needs time to establish a cycle and hormone balance. Be gentle with yourself and your body will come back into balance.

By hethir | July 17, 2008
So many of you have written with questions about ovarian cysts lately that I felt that creating this guide would be of great help to any of you who are having trouble conceiving due to ovarian cysts.
I hope you enjoy this guide and find it helpful…
What is an Ovarian Cyst?
Ovarian cysts are the product of failed or disordered ovulation. One way an ovarian cyst is formed when the follicle does not release its egg and the follicle continues to grow forming a cyst.
Most ovarian cysts are normal and harmless but many women experience fertility issues if the cysts get too large, or are the symptom of a bigger issue such as PCOS.
Thankfully there are natural remedies that can help your body to rid itself of the cysts naturally and without surgery.

Q & A about Cysts
By hethir | July 4, 2008
Question:
Am 38 yrs old, i have been married for now 4 yrs but no children. I really would like to conceive but the problem is that i was recently diagnosed with a cyst and was told it will dissolve after medication. Am still feeling a bit of some pain on the same side. What should i do? I really want to conceive could the cyst limiting the chance of me conceiving?
Hethir’s Answer:
Hi,
If you are off of the medication you should look into Fertility Enzyme Therapy. It helps to dissolve cysts and adhesions. It may take a little bit of time but you will know it has worked when the pain leaves you.
Cysts can limit conception due to the irritating and rubbing against organs causing irritation, inflammation, and scar tissue. But can be turned around naturally.

Ovulation Caught on Camera
By hethir | June 21, 2008
Have you ever wondered what ovulation looks like?
Well I found these pictures of a woman ovulating. This is a rare opportunity.
And on top of that the woman is 45 years old and ovulation took about 15 minutes to happen, very different then the previously thought “ovulation burst”. So if you are feeling achy for 10 -15 minutes around ovulation time… you are probably right.
You can see the pictures here:

PCOS Diet Q&A
By hethir | June 5, 2008
Here is a recent PCOS diet coaching I did with a reader…
Karen:
I am a very picky eater so I try to stick with the things I like. I love veggies and fruits but I’m not sure what grains to eat and how.
breakfast: apple, orange or banana-2 of the 3
water 22 oz
lunch: large salad leafy greens tomatoes and cucumbers-salt and pepper
a small serving of steamed broccoli carrots and cauliflower
water 22 oz
snacks-plain peanuts or granola sometimes plain popcorn
dinner 4 oz of chicken or beef with red yellow and green peppers
water
Hethir:
Here are some pointers for making your diet PCOS friendly.
I am seeing in your list here that you are eating pretty healthy. Having the four meals is great. Ideally four to five meals a day is best. One of the major guidelines for eating for PCOS is to make your meals balanced with protein and carbohydrates. To begin with make sure you are eating protein at everymeal. That is important for keeping the blood sugar levels balanced.
So for example here is your food diary with my modifications (MOD):
breakfast: apple, orange or banana-2 of the 3
water 22 oz
MOD:add 1/2 C .oatmeal and 2 scrambled eggs
—
lunch: large salad leafy greens tomatoes and cucumbers-salt and pepper
a small serving of steamed broccoli carrots and cauliflower water 22 oz
MOD:add 4oz salmon and 1/2 Cup quinoa
—
snacks-plain peanuts or granola sometimes plain popcorn
MOD: add organic yogurt
—
dinner 4 oz of chicken or beef with red yellow and green peppers
water
MOD: none, great meal.
I hope that helps to make it clearer for everyone. To learn more about how to eat for boosting fertility with PCOS I have a PCOS Diet guide available here:
