Most of us know someone who has struggled to get pregnant, or it may even be you. And this feeling can be devastating. Growing up, the emphasis on pregnancy was that it could happen at any time, so don’t let it happen until you’re ready. But this crucial moment in life needs planning to have the best possible outcome. One of the most important aspects of fertility and preparing to conceive is ensuring your body has the right nutrients for egg and sperm quality. And this isn’t just for the sake of fertility– but for our health regarding our hormone balance and menstrual cycle health. Since so many women are navigating fertility journeys right now, I invited registered nutritionist Lisa Dreher here to share her research on what our bodies really need to support fertility and conception.

They provide free educational content– like a preconception guide– to help people understand the importance of this time in their lives, and how much quality matters. Getting pregnant and giving birth is a beautiful journey for couples. Supporting yourself throughout pregnancy is about giving your body what it needs to thrive. So our goal in this episode is to equip you with everything you need regarding supplementation to create your perfect baby with ease and grace.
