What to Eat While Fertility Cleansing
by Hethir Rodriguez, MH, CMT
The Fertility Cleanse focuses on supporting and nourishing your body, so the first step is to remove all of the toxic foods from your kitchen. The second step is to create a fertile kitchen full of nourishing foods that make up a fertility diet. Always remember with lifestyle changes… be patient and gentle with yourself.
You can do the Fertility Cleanse regardless of what your diet looks like or what your diet philosophy is. Please do not wait to do this cleanse until you are eating perfect.

Im a vegan that blvs that soy products are very nutritious now just read that you suggest that soy products should not be consumed when one is trying to concieve will you please explain that for me.
Hi Lungiswa,
Soy is one of the hottest topics of debate in the health food world today. Why all the differing opinions? Is soy healthy and should we be consuming it like the next magical panacea?
Soy beans have been used to make everything from milk, cereal, and baby formula to burgers and butter. I wonder if most people even know what a real soy bean looks like.
When soy beans are made into these wide range of products it becomes a denatured, processed food. But that is not even the worst of it. There are so many studies out (bottom of article) that show soy is not a healthy food, they show it may in fact be dangerous…AND that it could negatively affect fertility.
This is an excerp from an article Hethir Rodriguez MH, CMT did on soy and it effects on fertility. Click here to read more about SOY.
Thanks for the question,
Dalene
can i consume the natural soy bean
Hi Rosemary,
Eating fresh raw soy beans or frozen ones is fine. Eating processed soy such as soy milk, ect. is not recommended.
Best Wishes,
Dalene
