Many patients ask us what they can do at home prior to starting their fertility treatment. Recently, a lot of research has begun to closely examine the roles of nutrition and dietary quality in improving fertility for both men and women.

There have been many “crash diets” and “miracle foods" reported in the media with very little research to back them up. However, health and nutrition play a very vital role in fertility. The food and diet choices that you make can positively affect your fertility treatment in a number of ways.

In addition to the direct impact of a nutritious diet on fertility, nutritious food choices are necessary to supply the building blocks necessary for fetal development.
