Fertility FAQ

If you’re trying to conceive, there are many lifestyle improvements that can help you naturally increase your chances of having a successful and healthy pregnancy. Fertility experts typically recommend:
- Eating nutrient-rich whole foods, especially vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, healthy fats, and healthy starches (e.g. whole grains, sweet potatoes, etc.)
- Engaging in moderate physical activity regularly
- Reducing stress
- Getting adequate sleep
- Drinking plenty of water
- Losing excess weight
- Taking vitamins and supplements designed with fertility and reproductive health in mind
All of these habits are useful for anyone, regardless of whether you’re looking to improve your egg quality or boost your sperm health.

There are a lot of lifestyle factors that can hinder your ability to conceive. The most important things that both men and women should avoid when trying to get pregnant are smoking, tobacco products in general, controlled and illicit substances (including cannabis), excessive alcohol, excessive caffeine, chronic stress, extreme or intense exercise, processed foods, foods high in trans fats, and excessive sugar.

Vitamins and supplements are an easy way to support your fertility and reproductive health when trying to conceive. When choosing vitamins and supplement blends for fertility, look for ingredients like coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), omega-3 fatty acids, folic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin D3. If you have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), it’s recommended that you take an inositol blend, which will help regulate ovulation and improve insulin resistance. Other vitamins and supplements that are great for your fertility health routine include melatonin, multivitamins, prenatal vitamins, and probiotics.
