One of my FAVOURITE and most versatile fertility foods!

Chia seeds are a true superfood containing loads of omega-3s, antioxidants, fibre, iron, magnesium, calcium and potassium.

They’re packed full of nutrition, they are a great source of complete and highly available protein.

The fibre in chia seeds helps to excrete unwanted hormones from the body and keeps the digestive system regular and able to absorb nutrients from the foods you eat.

Chia seeds have almost no taste, which means they can be added to almost any meal.

Aim for at least a tablespoon of chia seeds most days.

Essential fatty acids (particularly omega 3’s), help to reduce inflammation, improve skin hydration and provide a balance of healthy of moisture which can help with dry or oily skin.

Skin cells which are rich in EFA’s are more supple and less prone to breakouts and damage.

A diet rich in salmon, sardines, trout, flaxseeds, chia seeds, brazil nuts and walnuts will help to keep your omega 3’s topped up but you may want to consider a good quality supplement if your intake of these food is low.

Looking for a coffee alternative? Try Matcha Tea!

Matcha comes from the same plant as green tea, but since it’s made from the entire leaf, it packs in a more concentrated amount of antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds.

It’s more than just a pretty green drink, matcha is packed with naturally occurring antioxidants and plant compounds that make it a great addition to your daily routine.

It’s rich in antioxidants and naturally contains caffeine with L-theanine that may help promote a calmer, more sustained feeling of alertness. This combination has been linked with improved attention and cognitive performance.

Smoothies are a wonderful option for packing in nutrients and flavour. They are so versatile and easily transportable to take to work or to batch make and store in the freezer! However not all smoothies are made equal!

Some commercial and predominately fruit based smoothies can contain over 48g or 12tsp of sugar (more than a can of coke!). This recipe focuses on protein, fibre and healthy fats to keep you full and stabilise blood sugar levels.

Ingredients:
• 1⁄2 frozen banana
• 3⁄4 cup frozen strawberries
• 1 cup water or milk of choice
• 130g/4.5 oz protein powder
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp LSA (linseed, sunflower seed and almond meal)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1⁄2 tsp ground ginger

Place all the ingredients in a smoothie blender and blitz until smooth. Add some extra water if you prefer it a more runny.

🫖 When digestion isn’t feeling great (and also during times of convalescence or illness, our digestive systems function better on warm foods.

Herbal teas are great, both between and after meals.

Try fennel, licorice, nettle, peppermint, ginger and chamomile teas to aid digestion.

You should aim to eat 1g of pure protein per kg of body weight – this is an average of 60-80g for most people.

For weight loss purposes it is recommended that you bump up the protein to 80-120g daily. If you are struggling to get this from food or are a vegetarian, you may find a protein supplement helpful.

Most people will find that when they consume a protein-rich food with each meal and snack: energy levels improve, mental clarity increases, weight loss becomes easier and their skin and hair look amazing!

Exercise in moderation should be your mantra when you start actively trying to conceive.

Think of exercise more as movement and circulation rather than sweat and tears.

Aim for regular walking and a maximum of two to three exercise sessions a week, which could include yoga, pilates, light weight training or cardio at a moderate intensity.

Combine walking with some gentle bodyweight exercises such as triceps dips, squats, lunges and step-ups for optimal muscle tone and health.
