Fertility & Reproductive Health
Nourishing the Foundation of New Life
Why it matters:
Fertility is not just about conception — it’s about the overall health of the reproductive system. Globally, up to 15% of couples face fertility challenges, with causes ranging from hormone imbalances and ovulation issues to low sperm quality. Nutrition, stress, and lifestyle play a major role in whether the body is ready for new life.
How it works:
- Women’s fertility → relies on balanced estrogen and progesterone, regular ovulation, and healthy egg quality.
- Men’s fertility → depends on testosterone levels, sperm count, motility, and DNA integrity.
- Thyroid and adrenal hormones → regulate menstrual cycles, energy, and stress response, all of which influence fertility.
Nutrients that help:
- Folate & Vitamin B12 → essential for DNA synthesis and early pregnancy development.
- Vitamin D → regulates sex hormones and improves egg and sperm quality.
- Zinc → supports testosterone, ovulation, and sperm count.
- Selenium → protects reproductive cells from oxidative damage.
- CoQ10 (Ubiquinol) → boosts mitochondrial energy in eggs and sperm.
- L-Carnitine → improves sperm motility and energy.
- Omega-3s → balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support embryo development.
Foods that help:
- Leafy greens, beans, citrus → folate
- Fish, eggs, dairy → Vitamin D, B12, Omega-3s
- Nuts, seeds, Brazil nuts → selenium and zinc
- Avocados, olive oil → hormone-friendly fats
Lifestyle tip:
Managing stress is crucial — high cortisol disrupts reproductive hormones. Regular sleep, balanced nutrition, and moderate exercise all create a healthy environment for conception.
Helpful for:
- Couples trying to conceive
- Women with irregular cycles or PCOS
- Men with low sperm quality
- Supporting early pregnancy health
