Modern Life

Something in our modern lifestyle is affecting our fertility, so it's worth making these small adjustments in your diet and lifestyle just while you are trying to get pregnant. It's certainly easier than having invasive fertility treatment.

Even if you are considering or are already having fertility treatment, improving your diet and avoiding these environmental pollutants may help the treatment to be more effective.

There is an old saying "You are what you eat" - what are you eating?
