Five Favourite Fertility Foods

Eat an avocado a day.

Avocados: if you cut an avo in half – what does it look like? A pregnant woman’s belly with a bulging seed = fertility. The humble avocado is full of wonderful therapeutic fats, those ‘good’ fats that our bodies need. These fats are especially beneficial for healthy female reproductive organs and known to balance the hormones.

 Eat eggs daily they are a super fertility food.

Eggs: If you know me I love eggs. They are an excellent source of protein full of nutrients and two eggs equal a complete serve of protein, good quality fats and packed with fertility nutrients. Remember the best quality is best for you so try organic and definitely free range.

Eat Wild Caught Atlantic Salmon for fertility power. 

Fish: The perfect fish for fertility is Wild Caught Atlantic Salmon, it’s full of omega 3 fatty acids, it’s a high quality protein and packed with vitamin B12 and Iron; all the things needed for making babies. Be sure to pay the premium price because you do pay for what you get! Wild caught means that it has never been fed pink pellets to colour its flesh like some farmed salmon is – true story.

Eat seeds and nuts as an awesome fertility snack.

Seeds and Nuts: Good quality seeds and nuts are full of good fats, proteins and essential vitamins and minerals to get the fertility train moving. Try organic and definitely support local when purchasing. Pumpkin seeds or pepitas are especially high in zinc, which is essential for both males and females when it comes to excellent egg and sperm quality.

 Eat figs as a fertility treat. I love them fresh off the tree.

Figs: A real must for improving and boosting male semen, they’re quite specific for treating the male reproductive system, after all what do they look like! Eat them fresh, dried, baked, mix them with goats cheese or other culinary delights. They’re full of essential vitamins and minerals to help you reach your peak.

Of course baby making may not be that simple, so come in for a consult and we can tailor a pre-conception plan especially for you addressing you and your partners individual needs.

The Essential of the Fatty Acid - EFA/Flaxseed oil

I love using Flaxseed oil, it is one of those food/supplement sources that we all need in our diet. Flaxseed oil is an Essential Fatty Acid, essential because our body does not produce it. I love it. I add it to most of my meals, I use it as;

• salad dressing with some vinegar
• on toast as a spread
• over my tofu/mushroom dish
• add it to my plain yoghurt with some berries
• douse my cereal or my porridge

It is heat sensitive so always add it after your meal is cooked, you cannot cook with it.

It helps activate your liver, aids the removal of hormone build up, is a great internal tonic for your skin and hair and basically oils your joints too!

Flaxseed oil is the richest source of Omega 3 (Alpha Linolenic Acid), and is therefore much sought-after as a popular dietary supplement, particularly in Western style diets, which are deficient in this essential fatty acid. Flaxseed oil is added to foods such as rice, vegetable and pasta dishes, salads, cereals, soups, yoghurt and tofu, milk and soy drinks and fruit smoothies.

As mentioned, our bodies cannot produce essential fatty acids (EFA’s), so we must obtain them from a food source. Flaxseed oil contains both of the EFA’s Omega 6 and Omega 3, but it is most often recommended by health practitioners for its high level of Omega 3 (at 55-65%, twice that of fish oils).



Every human cell uses EFA’s and cannot exist without them. Research and clinical experience demonstrates that Omega 3 has beneficial results in many illnesses, such as heart disease, cancers, diabetes, arthritis, asthma, premenstrual syndrome, allergies, inflammatory tissue conditions, water retention and skin conditions.



Flaxseed meal is rich in both soluble and insoluble dietary fibre, protein (and lignans - which the body converts into beneficial phyto-oestrogens). It can be added to almost any food – eg sprinkled over breakfast cereals, natural yoghurt and fruit, mixed into drinks, or used in fruit loaves, health bars, cakes and bread.



Flaxseed meal provides a very palatable and nutritious alternative to bran or psyllium products
