Nutrition plays an essential role in fertility, deserving focused attention. Dr. Crawford stresses that inflammation, diet, and lifestyle can significantly influence reproductive health. She proposes a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats while minimizing processed foods, added sugars, and unhealthy fats.
She emphasizes the importance of specific nutraceuticals, including folic acid, omega-3s, CoQ10, and myo-inositol, especially for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). These supplements help to improve egg quality and manage insulin sensitivity, ultimately creating a healthier hormonal environment.
