How to Create A Healthy Foundation For Fertility

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.

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.

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.

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.

Two things are clear about phthalates and your fertility health: One, they are everywhere, and two, they are controversial! Particularly controversial is the link between phthalates and fibroids.
​
​Phthalates are a group of chemicals that are found in many everyday modern products. They’re found in floor and wall coverings, certain detergents, plastic food packaging, pharmaceuticals, lubricating oils, and personal care products like shampoos, soaps, hairspray, perfumes, and fragrant health products. Phthalates are even found in many of the plastic water bottles you might be drinking out of every day.
​
​If you are as concerned about these chemicals in our everyday lives as I am, see our Ditch & Switch Guide so you can start getting those chemicals out of your home. You can find it by clicking on our Bio.
