What you will learn in this episode
Why take a blood test when you need to work on your dietary balance and want to conceive?
This is important because it allows quickly see nutritional abnormalities: deficiencies or excesses. A dietitian cannot prescribe or diagnose, but they can help patients understand their blood test, make recommendations, and ask doctors for a specific prescription to help them make the right dietary choices.
👉 The blood test is key in fertility dietary support and is prescribed by the midwife or doctor.
What a dietitian needs in blood tests for a nutritional blood test:
- Hematology;
- Carbohydrate balance;
- glycated hemoglobin;
- Lipid balance;
- Liver markers (transaminases, Gama GT);
- Thyroid check (TSH, T3, T4);
- Full martial balance (Iron);
- Important for fertility: B9/B12;
- As a bonus: Vitamin A, Zinc, Selenium, Vitamin D.
At the same time, it is also important to have a hormonal balance on Day 3.
👉 The blood test can be reimbursed in France if everything is prescribed, but you can also go and ask for these items yourself at the laboratories, it will just not be reimbursed.
And finally, what is micronutrition?
Doing micronutrition means working in the infinitely small, because this approach helps cells to work properly.
This allows cells to function properly.
💡 Key figures
According to a study carried out from 2006 to 2007 through Public Health France, 80% of adults are said to be deficient in vitamin D. A survey carried out in the USA by the NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) in 2006, confirms that 41% of the population shows vitamin D deficiencies. According to the American study, this is even more important in adults with dark skin (82% for people with black skin, 69% for people of Hispanic origin). However, vitamin D is involved in the production of certain hormones and has an impact on ovulation in women and influences sperm quality in men.
The numbers shared for Vitamin D are an example of the importance of tracking all of your markers to improve the overall functioning of your body, and therefore, increase your chances of conceiving.
Vitamins B9 and B12 are also often deficient. And yet, they are key in the Methylation process according to Laura. Their need is even more important when trying to conceive, which is why women who are trying to have a baby are often supplemented with vitamin B9.
👉 We talk about it in detail in the second program made with Laura,”The myth of capsules“
Men are all concerned by this advice, including for the methylation mechanism and therefore the quality of sperm.
🔎 Useful definitions
Methylation n.f. Attachment of a methyl radical to a compound. In living beings, methylation reactions generally use adenosylmethionine as a methyl donor and enzymes called transmethylases or methyltransferases, sometimes also “methylases”.

🔊 Laura's popularization: Methylation requires genes to set up or not set up cellular mechanisms according to the needs of my body.
