FERTILITY Why Microbes, Weight & Nutrition Matter

by Clare Fleishman

FERTILITY
Why Microbes, Weight & Nutrition Matter

Whether you are just starting on the quest to parenthood or have been trying for a long time, prepare like a life depends on it.
It does.
Microbes. Weight. Nutrition. They all matter profoundly in fertility and reproductive health.

Men and women should read this book

Other publications on fertility may address some of these topics but often only as they relate to women. But men are absolutely a significant part of the formula. The magic happens with a brilliant choreography of reproductive systems.

Countless things can derail this dance of a lifetime. Infections, obesity, and poor diet are just a few. Fortunately, my comprehensive investigation—many hundreds of studies from peer-reviewed journals and other respected sources were scoured—led to optimism that fertility can be improved. Probiotics, simple diet changes, or a daily nutritional supplement are among the evidence-based suggestions that may enhance natural or assisted fertility.

A valuable reference guide for fertility specialists

This book is unique because it explores the latest research in both men and women. Doctors, nurses, and dietitians who work in these areas will find the compiled information invaluable in their practices, with the assurance that it is based only on trustworthy sources. But each and every man and woman on this journey can also benefit. No one needs a Ph.D. in microbiology to understand the content. When possible, simpler language is used rather than the dense semantics of academia.

Boost your fertility with an action plan

As a complete work, the information and extensive data can lead to an action plan for enhancing fertility and reproductive health.
You will learn practical ways to address these issues and more in order to improve your fertility. Basic lifestyle choices must be examined. This is true whether you and your partner are trying to conceive for the first time or are seeking professional help after a year of attempts.

Believe in the science and you will be richly rewarded. In the case of fertility, the remarkable research gathered in this book on microbes, weight, and nutrition may lead to your cherished goal: a baby.

Start now. A life depends on you.

Always love to read books written from Dietitians. I loved the studies, have many highlighted to dive deep into further research & insight. Enjoy it’s not just “case examples,”and enjoyed the prenatal Rate app on supplements.

Additionally enjoyed they provided male studies since it does take 2 to make a baby 🥰

This book is excellent and insightful in so many ways. I found it specific in the science and nutrition that improve health to better increase fertility. The writing is clear and easy to understand for anyone hoping for a successful pregnancy. The key – for both men and women -- is to take care of your body. Clare Fleishman masterfully teaches how microbes, diet and weight are essential to reproductive health. Highly recommended.

I like how the author brings together such pertinent information for both women and men - it is helpful for couples to look at what they can do individually as well as together to boost fertility. I learned a lot about pre/probiotics, specific vitamins and antioxidants. It is easy to read and reference. Thank you!

I read this for continuing education credits. The book is well-researched and contains an extensive bibliography, but the writing itself is elementary. It would be a good reference book for professionals simply for the compendium of research on fertility, but the conversational and informal writing style of some parts just felt out of place.
