Healthy Nutrition for a Thriving Mother and Child: Diet Therapy for Fertility, Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are sensitive periods that call for special care.

A sound diet supports your own health and also supports the healthy growth and development of your baby. We are with you with careful planning; your health and your child’s come first.

The role of nutrition in trying to conceive and boosting fertility

• A balanced, healthy diet can raise the chance of pregnancy in both women and men. A diet rich in vitamins, minerals and quality protein, plus enough sleep and stress management, matters a great deal.
• Nutrition alone cannot solve every fertility problem, but it is part of a broader plan to improve the chance of conceiving; consulting your doctor and a nutrition specialist helps find the best approach.
• Quality protein (legumes, nuts and seeds; lean meat, fish and eggs) helps supply what is needed for ovulation and hormone regulation.
• Antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium help sperm quality; zinc is important for testosterone production and sperm quality (red meat, shellfish, legumes and nuts).
• Folic acid is essential for pregnancy and can reduce birth defects; get it from leafy greens and legumes and, if prescribed, a supplement. Vitamin D deficiency can also affect fertility.
• Omega-3 fats (fatty fish, flaxseed) support hormonal health, ovarian function and sperm quality, and a lack of healthy fats can disrupt sex-hormone production.

Why diet therapy matters in pregnancy and breastfeeding

Nutrient deficiencies, unprincipled weight gain, anemia, gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes are common in this period. A personalized meal plan lets you manage these challenges and go through pregnancy and breastfeeding calmly.
