First, we’d like to apologize for the joke that starts this episode. This is what happens when good vegetables go bad…. ;)
In this delicious snack, Ruby and Anne are chatting with Judy Simon and Angela Thyer about their new book, Getting to Baby: A Food-First Fertility Plan to Improve Your Odds and Shorten Your Time to Pregnancy.
If you are considering starting or building your family, it’s great for everyone involved to get in their best possible health, whether you’ll be carrying the child or not! And this plan can help everyone attain optimal health.
Get your answers to:
- What is a “food-first approach” to fertility, and does it actually help?
- How do nutrition and lifestyle affect fertility?
- Is nutrition a one-size-fits-all? (spoiler alert: no.)
- Should I focus more on plants? (spoiler alert: probably)
- Are you all about weight loss? (nope)
And so much more.
One thing we love about this plan is that it focuses on making progress, not on being perfect. And there’s no shame here: nutrition can be challenging, especially when life is busy. But the great thing is even small improvements can yield great, noticeable benefits.
Cooking and eating well don’t have to be stressful, and that’s what this book is all about. Let Angela, Judy, and your own body guide you to explore new foods and reach your health goals!
As always, we hope you’ll share this episode with anyone who could benefit!
