We hear a lot about what expecting and breast-feeding women should eat – but what about eating to improve fertility? Did you know that an insulin imbalance or a diet full of high-glycemic carbohyrdates increase ovulatory fertility problems by a staggering 92%? An iodine deficiency can aggravate PCOS, cause miscarriages, or even hamper the growth of an unborn baby's brain. Problems digesting protein increase ammonia levels in the body, which prevents eggs from adhering to the uterine wall. Pesticides on produce contain xenestrogens, or environmental estrogens, that can create hormone imbalances that counter fertility treatments.
Clinical Nutritionist Andrew Hopkins and yoga and lifestyle expert Corey Kelly will answer your questions about nutrition and wellness. We'll cover what to eat to nourish your body for conception, pregnancy, and breast feeding – but also foods that can help you recover from labor, foods that energize you to keep up with toddlers and teens, and food to increase your longevity so you can enjoy a long, happy life with your family.
