How To Enjoy Fertility Friendly-Foods That Do Not Suck

We’re digging into tips for eating for fertility in the summer.

Making dietary changes can be hard (especially during the summer).

You may feel like putting off the changes until September.

However, eating foods that nourish your body does not need to suck.

And delaying making the changes only delays your chances of pregnancy success.

What if we could take advantage of the bounty that summer produce offers us?

This is not about eating a bunch of kale or sipping green juice.

From quick dips/pestos to protein-rich smoothies and barbeque-ready meats/fish, we discuss how you can nourish your body now without feeling deprived or hungry.

Caitlin Townsend is part of my team at Fab Fertile. She is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner as well as a Chef trained at The Culinary Institute of America.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

A smoothie recipe that’s packed with fertility-friendly protein/fats
Eating based on the season and how to incorporate more variety
How to select foods that are good for your digestion
Quick 3-4 ingredient recipe ideas for dips/pestos
How to use herbs to make your summer BBQ meat/fish more flavourful
An easy mocktail recipe that improves digestive health (i.e. gut health is key for ovarian function)
