What to Eat When You Want to Get Pregnant

A Science-Based 4-Week Nutrition Program to Boost Your Fertility

De: Nicole Avena

Narrado por: Leslie Howard

The latest research reveals that by optimizing nutrition, you can boost your chances of conceiving and having a safe, healthy pregnancy and baby. But with so much information out there, how can you make sure you're getting the nutrients you need to maximize fertility and avoiding the seemingly healthy foods that could be interfering with fertility?

In this comprehensive guide, diet and nutrition expert and research neuroscientist Dr. Nicole Avena offers revolutionary science-based advice for women and men who are either thinking about having a baby, already trying, or dealing with fertility issues. Dr. Avena pares down the research so that you can apply the new science to your real life, including valuable information such as: what nutrients are specifically tied to fertility and pregnancy, how much of each you need, why you need it, and which food sources are best; which plant-based protein sources promote pregnancy without disrupting hormone levels; why men's fertility is just as important as women's, and which foods can increase sperm motility and health; how to add pregnancy-friendly fats to your diet; the truth about the link between body weight and fertility; and much more, including a four-week plan to get you started on the path to parenthood.

Helpful but one request

I really wish this came with a pdf (and if it does, how do I find it?). The recipes sound amazing but I had to listen to them 4-5 times each in slo-mo because it felt like rapid fire information that I couldn’t write down fast enough. I’m excited to try these recipes once I write all 50 of them down and write down the 4 week menu and figure out what I need to buy from the store. Feels like a ton of work after listening to the chapter that talks about stress and preparedness… but I digress. Still excited to try at least some of the recipes.
