Have you considered lifestyle factors before resorting to IVF? 1 in 6 couples have trouble falling pregnant. But making some simple improvements to your diet and way of life can significantly boost your fertility without the need for invasive and costly medical intervention. Losing just 5-10 % of your current weight, if you are overweight, can be enough to improve ovulation. And raising the intake of certain nutrients and improving your insulin sensitivity may increase your chances of falling pregnant sooner - naturally! While the focus has traditionally been on women, getting your bloke into tip-top shape is critical too, as he’s responsible for half the baby! Did you know that 50-80 % of men have sperm DNA damage and women who get pregnant with damaged sperm have a 3-4 times higher risk of miscarriage?

In this practical seminar we’ll show you easy ways to:

  • Get your weight into the fertility zone
  • Eat low GI carbs to better regulate your blood sugar and insulin levels
  • Avoid harmful trans fats that have been linked with miscarriage
  • Ensure both you and your partner meet all your nutrient requirements and avoid deficiencies that impair fertility

If you have PCOS, are struggling to fall pregnant, or already undergoing IVF this seminar is for you! Just don’t forget to bring your partner
