Functional Fertility Nutritionist

What is Functional Fertility Nutrition?

Functional Fertility Nutrition is a science-backed, root-cause approach to enhancing fertility by nourishing the body at a cellular level. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution, we look deeply at your unique biology, lifestyle, and nutrition to design a plan that optimizes your reproductive health, supports a healthy pregnancy, and reduces the risk of miscarriage.

We focus on the whole body (and the whole journey) from conception through fetal development.

How We Help

🔍 Root Cause Analysis for Reproductive Optimization
Through comprehensive assessments and functional testing, we uncover factors that may impair fertility or increase miscarriage risk, such as:

  • Thyroid imbalances (crucial for ovulation and pregnancy maintenance)
  • Nutrient deficiencies (including B12, choline, magnesium, and folate)
  • Chronic inflammation and elevated histamines
  • Oxidative stress affecting egg and sperm quality
  • Digestive and microbiome health (linked to nutrient absorption and immune modulation)

🥦 Nutrient Optimization for Conception and Fetal Development
Our personalized nutrition plans ensure you’re receiving the right nutrients in the right forms to:

  • Support healthy egg and sperm development with targeted antioxidants like CoQ10, selenium, and vitamin E
  • Balance key micronutrients essential for fetal brain, neural tube, and organ development (e.g., choline, DHA, methylated folate)
  • Promote hormonal regulation and detoxification for ovulation and implantation
  • Reduce miscarriage risk by addressing thyroid, methylation, and inflammation pathways

❤️ Enhancing Egg & Sperm Quality
Fertility is a two-sided equation. Our plans include evidence-based strategies to:

  • Improve mitochondrial health and energy in eggs and sperm
  • Lower oxidative stress through a diet rich in antioxidants and healthy fats
  • Address environmental and lifestyle factors that impact gamete quality
  • Offer supplementation protocols that support reproductive longevity

🌿 Minimizing Miscarriage Risk Through Functional Support
We integrate dietary and lifestyle tools to address common yet often overlooked contributors to early pregnancy loss:

  • Thyroid function support to prevent implantation issues
  • Histamine balance to reduce inflammatory responses in the uterine environment
  • Immune and inflammation modulation through polyphenols, omega-3s, and gut support
  • Methylation pathway optimization with proper forms of folate and B vitamins

Fertility is a Partnership

Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or preparing for IUI or IVF, we work with both partners to maximize success. Male fertility is equally important, and we tailor plans that promote sperm quality, motility, and DNA integrity.

Who We Support

  • Individuals or couples preparing for conception
  • Those with recurrent miscarriage or early pregnancy loss
  • Clients with PCOS, endometriosis, or thyroid-related fertility struggles
  • Women undergoing IVF or IUI
  • Couples interested in improving egg/sperm quality before freezing or embryo transfer
  • Those optimizing for a healthy pregnancy and fetal development
