Om den här ljudboken

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.
