Personalised IVF & Fertility Nutrition Support to Boost Your Chances of Conception
You have more control over your fertility than you think
What you eat and the lifestyle choices you make on a day to day basis can influence the menstrual cycle (including ovulation, which is needed to get pregnant), egg and sperm quality and implantation.
Nutrient deficiencies, stress, sleep, weight, overexercising, exposure to toxins including alcohol and cigarettes can all have a negative impact on egg and sperm quality, ovulation and implantation.
Whether you’re hoping to fall pregnant naturally or you’re preparing for Assisted Reproductive Therapy, the nutrition and lifestyle choices of both partners can have more impact than you might think.
Even small changes to nutrition and lifestyle can have a big impact on your fertility journey and move you a step closer to holding your baby.
Sperm health matters just as much as egg health
Getting pregnant is a team effort.
A successful pregnancy needs healthy sperm, as well as a healthy egg.
Men’s sperm quality has declined by over 50% worldwide in the last 46 years due to factors such as nutrient deficiencies, alcohol consumption, smoking, obesity and exposure to environmental toxins.
But there are plenty of dietary and lifestyle changes that can have a positive impact on male fertility.
Sperm motility, count, size/shape, concentration and DNA fragmentation can all be improved with appropriate nutrition and lifestyle changes (and if applicable, supplements).
It takes 3-4 months for egg and sperm health to improve, which means that your chances of a successful pregnancy can start to increase in a few short months too.
If you're preparing for IVF treatment, we can optimise your nutrition and lifestyle to increase your chances of success and reduce the risk of miscarriage if you are successful in getting pregnant.
Before an IVF cycle begins, we can focus on
improving egg and sperm quality
preparing for egg retrieval
preparing the endometrium lining for implantation
managing the Two Week Wait
all of which can improve your chances of success.
Whether you're preparing for IVF or want to get pregnant naturally, every positive change made in this preconception period can influence hormonal and menstrual health, which in turn directly impacts egg and sperm health,ovulation, implantation and the chances of a successful pregnancy. Making 5 or more lifestyle changes can reduce ovulatory infertility by as much as 69%.
When falling pregnant feels impossible, you may not be thinking any further than the joy of finally getting pregnant.
Your nutrition and lifestyle can also affect your future baby’s health for their first 1000 days, which includes pregnancy and the first two years of their life.
It all starts in the months before you get pregnant and those crucial first few months of optimising your health and fertility.
Your fertility journey is highly unique to you.
As a Fertility Nutritionist, Naomi supports her clients to improve their health and optimise their fertility through nutrition and lifestyle changes.
No matter where you are on your journey, Naomi can guide you to make nutrition and lifestyle choices for the preconception period and beyond. She can also provide supplement recommendations, where appropriate.
If you’re travelling to Europe (especially Spain) for fertility treatment, Naomi is ideally placed to support you to make nutrition and lifestyle changes as you prepare for treatment and at every stage of your IVF cycle.
This doesn't necessarily mean big changes. A series of small changes can have the most impact, especially if both partners are doing what they can to optimise fertility.
It doesn't mean restrictive diets either.
The focus is on understanding what your body needs for conception, a healthy pregnancy and your baby’s future health and nourishing the mind and body to support it.
