Thinking about trying to conceive? 🌿
The months before conception can be a valuable window to support both female and male reproductive health.
Not because fertility can be controlled — and certainly not because you need to do everything “perfectly” — but because our reproductive health doesn’t exist separately from the rest of our health.
Nutrition, nutrient status, sleep, movement, stress, metabolic health and our wider environment can all form part of the picture.
I often encourage people to think about preparation rather than perfection. Small, consistent changes that support your overall health are far more sustainable than turning trying to conceive into another full-time job.
And importantly, preconception care isn’t just for women. S***m health matters too, which is why ideally both partners are part of the conversation from the beginning.
If you’re thinking about trying to conceive — naturally or with assisted conception — giving yourself a few months to focus on the foundations can be a useful place to start. 💛
