How to Create A Healthy Foundation For Fertility

Hethir Rodriguez - Certified Herbalist and Nutritionist
July 25, 2021
Reviewed by Christine Traxler, MD

Think of your fertility health in the same way you would a garden — before planting the seeds, you first prepare the soil, making sure it is rich with nutrients and all the components needed to help the seeds grow into healthy, fertile plants. You can build a healthy foundation for your fertility by supplying the body with key nutrients on a daily basis!

What you are consuming day in and day out has an effect on the health of every cell in your body, including your reproductive organs, eggs and sperm, which matters when it comes to being able to conceive naturally, carry a pregnancy and the health of your baby.

Are you wondering how to get started? In this guide, you will learn key areas of focus and the steps to take to create a natural fertility program. We find that on average it takes at a minimum of 3-6 months to prepare the body for pregnancy, so keep that in mind as you begin your journey to conception.

Step 1: Nutrition and Lifestyle

Eating a fertility diet in preparation for pregnancy and to boost fertility is one of the most powerful health changes you can make! Numerous studies have shown that specific changes to the diet can improve fertility, prevent recurrent miscarriage and support a healthy pregnancy.

Although we generally recommend beginning your journey to a healthy pregnancy with a fertility cleanse to remove excess toxins from a poor diet and lifestyle, nutrition plays a vital role when it comes to having a healthy body and reproductive system. The building blocks for hormones are found in the foods we eat.

So, please take time to learn about The Natural Fertility Diet: How to Eat for Optimal Fertility.

Also be sure to:

  • Take a whole food women’s multivitamin like Fertile Woman One Daily – Whole Food Multivitamin.
  • Get enough good essential fatty acids daily.
  • Eat Your Greens Daily for Fertility and Health!
  • Get your copy of The 21 Day Fertility Diet Challenge eBook, which is a great companion to help you get started.

See the NEW Fertility Foundation Kit here… It contains Fertile Woman One Daily – Whole Food Multivitamin, FertilicaTM Cod Liver Oil, FertilicaTM Choice Antioxidants and FertilicaTM Vitamin D-3 & K-2.

Step 2: Foundational Cleansing

The time while you are preparing for conception is one of the most important times to create a healthy body in preparation for pregnancy. It is also the best time to do a fertility cleanse. Fertility cleansing is a way to support the body in preparation for conception by cleansing the uterus and liver. A fertility cleanse encourages the liver to cleanse the body of toxins and excess hormones. It also supports the uterus to cleanse itself of old stagnant blood and increases circulation to the uterus while tonifying the uterine tissues.

While cleansing is beneficial, not just any cleanse is going to be beneficial for fertility. A fertility cleanse is specific to the reproductive system and assists the body in eliminating the additional burden of substances not good for fertility. Performing a one-month Fertility Cleanse is one of the best first steps you can take in preparation for conception and support normal hormonal balance.

Step 3: Choose Herbs and Nutrients Specific to Your Fertility Health

Each of us is a unique individual with different, specific health needs. Here at the Natural Fertility Shop, we provide a wide array of world-class nutritional supplements and herbal formulas to support a wide range of reproductive health concerns. With Steps 1 & 2 in place, you will have a solid foundation to build upon by adding in specific nutrients and herbs focused on key aspects of reproductive health. This stage of the journey is more of a tailored one. Choosing nutritional supplements and herbs for your particular needs is essential to the outcome.

Building a healthy foundation is going to help give your child the best possible start in life. We consider these foundational products the most important for couples to start off with. These products are best taken on a daily basis in preparation for conception and to promote overall reproductive well-being.

  • Foundational nutritional supplements for optimal fertility…

Step 4. Circulation

Promoting circulation to the uterus is crucial for improving uterine health and for pregnancy preparation. The best way to get nutrients and oxygen-rich blood to your uterus can be done through; daily moderate-intensity exercise – walking and Fertility Yoga are great; Self Fertility MassageTM with Castor Oil Packs.

I absolutely love the direct connection to uterine health that takes place with Self Fertility MassageTM and Castor Oil Packs. There is really no other weekly practice that is so effective at increasing circulation to the uterus as these two natural therapies are.

Learn more about Self Fertility MassageTM here… and Castor Oil Therapy here…

Step 5. Build a Mind and Body Practice For Stress Management

This step rounds out your fertility journey through enhanced quality of life by teaching you how to manage stress. Stress has a huge impact on fertility by altering hormone balance. We know that trying for a baby isn’t a-walk-in-the-park for everyone. Let’s face it, trying to conceive can, at times, be really stressful. Implementing a daily mind and body practice is going to help you stay calm and focused, so you can achieve your goals in a more connected and meaningful way, all the while promoting hormonal harmony. Mind and Body Practices we know have helped many couples are shared in our guide Top 10 Mind and Body Therapies to Help With Fertility Stress.

Still not sure exactly what products are right for you?

We can offer personalized guidance through our Fertility Consultations. Our Fertility Consultations provide you with personalized guidance from one of our Master Herbalists, based on your specific health needs. We have helped thousands of women through this program!

A Fertility Consultation provides you with a guide to the best diet tips, natural therapies, herbs and supplements for your unique fertility needs. Within the written guide is an organized layout of a detailed 3-6 month plan to help get you going on improving your fertility health. You will also receive an audio recording of your herbalist, or a phone call with your herbalist, explaining every step of the guide in detail with additional tips and answers to your questions.

You can learn more about our Fertility Consultations here…

You Can Change Your Health!

The reproductive organs are part of an intricate system of communication within the body, if they aren’t as healthy as they can be, all of you suffers, not just your fertility. Regardless of whether you are here because you want to have a baby or if you just want to help heal your reproductive system, you have come to the right place. You matter your health matters. We truly believe that all people have the capacity to change their circumstances and that when given the right tools and support they can achieve their goals. Our goal is to help you improve your reproductive health, so you can go on to have the baby of your dreams, or to just feel better every day of your life.

🥚 In the past, a common belief was that the only factor which determines ovarian and egg health was age. 

Based on new studies, we now know that this may not be true. 🤯

There are many factors that can have an impact on the health of the ovaries and eggs including environmental factors, hormones in the diet, and stress, just to name a few.

In addition, having healthy fertility is based on many additional aspects to consider, including:
➡️ Proper circulation
➡️ A healthy fertility cycle
➡️ Balanced hormones
➡️ Healthy eggs

Egg health is one of the cornerstones of healthy fertility. 

The health of your eggs (ova) can affect whether or not fertilization and implantation will occur as well as the viability of a pregnancy.

During the cycle of an egg’s journey towards ovulation, there is a window of opportunity, a period of time, when certain factors can affect the health of the eggs that are preparing for ovulation. ⏳

This journey takes about 90 days. 

The steps you take today will impact the health of your eggs 3 months from now. 

That is why I talk so much about taking a MINIMUM of 90 days to prepare for pregnancy or IVF/IUI. 

🙂 The good news is that there are steps you can take to help support the health of your eggs. There is too much info to put into this tiny caption but….

Type EGG if you would like me to send you my Egg Health Checklist that takes you through all of the steps to take.👇👇

When a couple is preparing for fertility, it is a good idea for both to cleanse the body of toxins, chemicals, and excess hormones.

The chemicals, pesticides, and toxins in our environment are having a huge impact on male fertility. 

In the last 50 years, sperm counts have been cut in half.

Fertility Cleansing for men is a big step in the right direction.

Nutrition can make a big difference when you are wanting to prepare for pregnancy, support hormonal health or overcome fertility issues.

There are 5 specific things I have my clients add to their current diets every day.

🍌What they found after about 21 days of eating this way, they started to not only crave healthier foods, their body was giving them positive feedback through lighter cycles, better digestion, clearer skin and more energy. ⚡

While eating healthy is something you will need to do for the rest of your life, doing a challenge like this helps to give you a great jump start.
