Fertility Diet Plan for Couples: Find your fertile foods

01/08/2021

Rachel Clarkson, the DNA Dietitian, can create a fully bespoke fertility diet plan for couples that will ensure you have a healthier pregnancy.

The role of diet in health is of course obvious and it is rarely more important than when we are seeking to become pregnant, and then maintain a healthy pregnancy.

However, beyond the basics, it can be hard to know where to start.

What constitutes a balanced diet to help boost fertility and then how should this diet change during pregnancy, or post pregnancy should you opt to breastfeed?

Any dietitian can help with these important questions, putting you on the best footing, but Rachel Clarkson can go a step further.

She uses DNA genetic analysis to tailor all advice to you and your genetic make-up, rather than the advice being somewhat more generalised.

This new level of insight builds upon the science that underpins a dietitian’s work, rather than replacing it. It allows an extra level of analysis.

In this post, we will talk through the benefits of a fertility diet plan, the DNA option and the benefits of this approach and answer common questions.

It is also worth noting that Rachel offers a free 15-minute introduction call, over the phone or via video. This is the perfect opportunity to see if she is the dietitian for you.

Fertility Diet Plan Benefits

Is a fertility diet plan essential? The answer would have to be ‘no’ after all, couples get pregnant without using a diet plan, healthy babies are delivered and thrive.

There should be no attempt to scare couples into thinking that they need a plan from a dietitian, or that they are failing their baby-to-be by not undertaking one. The mere fact you are thinking of a diet plan shows you are taking diet seriously, and that is to be applauded.

Why then seek a fertility plan?

The answer is that it ensures your diet is truly optimal. It ensures that chances of getting pregnant are enhanced, and then that mother and baby will receive the optimal levels of all nutrients during the pregnancy and beyond.

It also provides peace of mind, as a couple, you will know that the diet you are following is suitable, it removes all guesswork and the worry of trying to work out if you have it just right.

Are you eating the right foods, do you need more or different supplements, should you factor in the advice workmates give you, or relatives who mean well?

All that can be put to one side, instead you will have a diet plan produced by an expert that is tailored to you and your partner – and your baby to be – alone.

Benefits of a Dietitian

There are many sources for dietary advice – websites, books, well-meaning friends and family, nutritionists and dietitians among them.

Why opt for a dietitian?

A dietitian is the only option that is tailored to you and offers professional, science and research-backed advice.

Dietitian is a protected term, only those who have undergone detailed medical training can call themselves a dietitian. Dietitians work with other medical professionals to ensure a patient or client’s overall health. Nutritionist is not a protected term, essentially anyone can call themselves a nutritionist.

There really is no comparison.

By opting for a dietitian, you are seeking an expert in the field, someone who has a wealth of knowledge and experience. By using other options, you are opening yourself up to advice that has no weight behind it and could even be detrimental to your health or chance of getting pregnant.

The Dietitian Process

A dietitian will work with you as a couple as you seek to boost your diet to enhance fertility.

This means listening to you, finding out about your lifestyle and factoring in your full medical history. The dietary advice also takes into consideration your food habits and preferences; clearly there is no point recommending foods or plans that you simply won’t be able to follow, or will find very hard to stick to.

This information enables your dietitian to create something that is bespoke and will work for you as a couple. It won’t be generic advice for someone or people like you, it will be specific and tailored.

However, there is an extra degree of tailoring available through the use of DNA samples

The DNA Fertility Diet

If a dietitian’s advice is tailored and science-backed, how does DNA analysis enhance this?

The genetic approach to dietary advice allows the dietitian to gain information about you and how you react to nutrients that would otherwise be impossible to ascertain.

By taking a sample and having this analysed at a specialist lab, it is possible to see how a patient responds to different nutrients. The report will show elements they may need more of and things that should be reduced. Any small intolerances will be spotted, intolerances that might be almost impossible to detect and yet still influence overall health.

The sampling produces a huge amount of information and from this, a dietitian trained in the science of Nutrigenomics can create a dietary plan that is perfectly in tune with your body and how your unique metabolism responds to all nutrients.

The report created is incredibly in-depth, as can be seen through the sample report linked to below.

However, this alone would be confusing to a patient, it outlines information but how can this be turned into an actual dietary plan?

The dietitian takes this wealth of information, mixes it with other factors such as your lifestyle, food preferences and more and from this creates a dietary plan that is both perfectly in tune with your health aims, superb for overall health and also is a plan you can not only stick to, but enjoy. Eating is meant to be enjoyable after all!

At a free discovery call, Rachel would be delighted to answer any questions you may have about this new level of dietary insight and how it can boost your fertility hopes.
