Following a preconception programme may improve the

quality of the sperm and ova to increase the likelihood of
conception and reduce the chances of miscarriage,
premature birth and foetal abnormalities.

If you’re intending to use assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF nutritional therapy can complement the treatment you're receiving and help you achieve optimum health in preparation.

Using a comprehensive approach attention is given to:

A healthy diet
Nutritional status
Lifestyle factors
Weight management
Hormonal imbalances
Fertility awareness
Screening for infections
Environmental stressors

Non invasive testing may be used where appropriate.

Individual dietary and nutritional advice will be given which take into account both the positive and negative role dietary factors can have on fertility. Even digestive disorders and stress related conditions may impact on you ability to conceive and these will be considered in making your recommendations.
