Can we talk about the Mediterranean diet and fertility?
Because almost every week, I’m hearing from women who have been told that all they need to do is follow a Mediterranean diet to improve their fertility.
The problem?
The version many are being prescribed is often centred around:
• Lean protein sources
• Grains and legumes
• Green leafy vegetables
And while these foods can absolutely have a place, they may not provide the nutrient density needed to support optimal egg quality, hormone production, and fertility.
Even more importantly, if you’re dealing with digestive issues or underlying inflammation, some of these foods may not be working for your body in the way you’ve been led to believe.
Fertility nutrition isn’t about following a generic template.
It’s about understanding what your body needs.
Because the goal isn’t simply eating “healthy.”
The goal is creating a body that is nourished, resilient, and ready for pregnancy 🤰
