Why should I be consulting a dietitian?
The link between fertility and diet has long been established. Having a personalised nutrition plan has been proven to improve fertility. It can help regulate ovulation cycles and improve sperm quality.
Studies have shown from the time a couple are looking to conceive, through to pregnancy and the first two years of the child’s development, diet and nutrition has a strong impact. Particularly on the child’s genetics and influences their health throughout their life. This concept is called Epigenetic Programming.
