What you will learn in this episode
Why is nutrition key to fertility?
There are several reasons why nutrition is key to fertility:
- Need for good game quality;
- Need for hormonal balance;
- Monitor inflammation processes.
👉 Fertility is an optional function : we need everything to come together for it to work.
The biggest defect in fertility is the lack of prevention
Good questions to ask yourself are:
- Are my meals varied enough?
- Are the foods in season?
- Is there diversity on my plate?
👉 The situation is no longer the same as it was 50 years ago and there may be absorption defects.
Good to know: Doctors (general practitioners, gynecologists, etc.) have fewer hours of training in dietetics than a dietitian with a state diploma on the subject. In France, the common nutritional base for doctors is around 20 hours, we a traditional course. It is possible for doctors to do a specialized nutrition examination of about 150 hours (it is indicated if this is the case). Dietitians are trained for at least 2 years with a dedicated BTS and may have completed additional training in micronutrition or fertility.
💡 Key figures
According to the WHO (World Health Organization) in 2023: 1 out of 6 people is affected by infertility. In addition, sperm concentration in men has dropped by More than 50% Over the last decade according to Human Reproduction Update.
What are the signals that help us know if our body is working properly?
A System That Seems Balanced Send the following signals:
- No digestive problems;
- Regular cycle, no clots during the period, no specific pain;
- No excessive fatigue during the cycle;
- No premenstrual symptoms;
- I am moving;
- It moisturizes well;
- I sleep well;
- I feel good.
A System That Seems unbalanced When he has the following symptoms:
- Sleep disorder;
- Severe fatigue;
- Mental fog;
- Digestive disorder;
- Difficulty finding the right word;
- Lack of energy;
- Irregular cycle...
👉 Nutrition is able to soothe unbalanced systems
With nutrition, we can start to regulate our system for better overall health
Why is it even more important in fertility?
When we try to give birth, there is a benefit/risk balance that is there for our health and that of the future baby.
When should you take care of your diet to try to conceive?
It is always a good time to take care of your health and even more so in the case of preconception.
Laura's advice: 4/5 months before trying to get pregnant is the ideal time to pay attention to your diet.
In which case, the program's advice is already sufficient?
- I have no symptoms of imbalances;
- I am active/active;
- Overall I feel in good shape...
If I have these symptoms, I can consult a specialized dietitian:
- disturbed cycles;
- Imbalances identified;
- Poor sleep;
- Low energy;
- Stress...
👉 So it's really relevant to consult a dietitian.
Obviously, in case of PCOS, endometriosis or any other female or global condition (autoimmune disease, inflammatory disease...), then it is better to consult a dietitian specializing in fertility directly.
And exactly, how do I find a specialized dietitian near me?
To find the right fertility dietitian, I look at several things:
- I am looking for a trained health professional with a state diploma;
- With additional training in micronutrition;
- Ideally, additional training in perinatal or fertility;
- I am looking for the opinions of other patients;
- I see if I have a good feeling with the pro at the first appointment.
