If you are trying to conceive, you should be eating a healthy, balanced fertility diet for optimum health.

A healthy lifestyle can improve your chances of conceiving by protecting your fertility.

You should eat a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables and reduce your intake of foods that can reduce fertility, such as alcohol and junk food. Healthy food can be delicious too.

Don't ignore your digestive health while working on your fertility.

Your digestive system is in charge of breaking down food, absorbing and producing nutrients, and eliminating toxins that affect fertility. A healthy digestive system ensures your body is assimilating crucial nutrients for reproductive health.

Your body can’t use what it doesn’t absorb!

Poor gut health and digestion is a common cause for nutrient deficiencies, mineral imbalance, and inflammation. Poor digestion can also impact your hormone levels.

Your absorption of fat is especially important for reproductive health. Essential fatty acids form the building blocks for hormone production and support the development of a normal inflammatory response in the body.

Additionally, poor digestion can decrease the elimination of harmful xenoestrogens or excess estrogen that can affect fertility. It can depress thyroid function, a known fertility blocker. Gut bacteria are involved in converting T4 to T3 for thyroid hormone synthesis.

How is your digestion?

We all suffer from occasional digestive upset from a day of poor food choices, high stress or minor illness. However, it’s important to take digestive symptoms seriously if they’re frequent or chronic.

The digestive system is home to 500 different species of bacteria (microbiome). The microbiome of the digestive system weighs around 3 pounds! It must maintain a very delicate balance of the right types of bacteria to ensure proper gut functioning.

A common question I get is how can I increase/decrease this specific hormone. I understand why this is such a common question because a test result comes back with a low or high hormone result. But by focusing on only the hormone, you can be missing the bigger picture and not addressing the underlying root cause.

For example, low progesterone is not always caused by a lack of progesterone in your body. It can be caused by excess estrogen, or lack of ovulation. It can also be caused by thyroid or endocrine imbalances.

That is why a holistic approach in view of fertility hormonal health is important. If you only focus on increasing your progesterone levels, you could still not be ovulating or addressing the thyroid issues which could keep you from getting pregnant or later affect your pregnancy when you do become pregnant.

It is important to have a plan, but don't let that be where you get stuck and never get started. The only plan you need is how you plan on getting started. From there you will gain feedback and insight from your body and can move forward from there.

My suggestion for the best place to start is with fertility charting.

My second suggestion it to book a consultation and have a plan created for you based on your personal needs.

My third suggestion is to start eating a whole foods diet, making sure to include the Important 5.

Fertility charting is one of the most important tools you have on your natural fertility journey. How can charting help you? For one, it can reveal imbalances such as:

▪️ Thyroid imbalance
▪️ When and if you ovulated
▪️ Length of follicular phase
▪️ Length of luteal phase
▪️ Progesterone health

To learn more about what fertility charting may reveal about your hormonal health and what each of these mean, click the link in my bio @naturalfertilityinfo to register for my Fertility Charting 101 class.
