Understanding Real Food for Fertility: Nutrient Needs, Food Sensitivities, and Cycle Health with Lisa Hendrickson-Jack Part One "If you're trying to conceive, you need a diet that supports optimal hormone balance and menstrual health." Topics Discussed: 🦩 The need for an evidence-based approach to fertility nutrition. 🦩 Importance of menstrual cycle awareness and hormone balance in fertility. 🦩 The role of preconception nutrition in supporting reproductive health. 🦩 Addressing food intolerances in fertility-focused dietary changes. 🦩 The impact of animal and plant protein sources on fertility health. 🦩 Benefits of whole foods and traditional practices in restoring health. Are your dietary choices supporting your fertility and overall health? Whether you’re actively trying to conceive or starting to explore fertility health, it’s important to make lifestyle changes and food choices that can support hormone balance, menstrual cycle, and fertility health. In this episode of the Finding Fertility podcast, I speak with Lisa Hendrickson-Jack about the role of diet in enhancing fertility. Lisa is a certified Fertility Awareness Educator and Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner who trains women’s health practitioners to use their menstrual cycle as a vital sign in their practices. She is the founder of the Fertility Awareness Mastery Mentorship™ program and the author of three bestselling books, The Fifth Vital Sign, Real Food for Fertility, and the Fertility Awareness Mastery Charting Workbook. Listen in to learn how "real food" provides essential nutrients that impact not just calories but also your hormonal health and menstrual cycle. You will also learn practical advice on nurturing your body with nutrient-rich foods tailored to your needs. “It’s not about a specific rigid diet; it’s about finding the nutrient-dense foods that work for you.” Episode Highlights: [02:28] Lisa on the challenges of conflicting diet advice and how her book offers fresh, evidence-based perspectives on fertility nutrition. [05:22] How the Real Food for Fertility book is designed to provide tailored, research-backed advice for women on a fertility journey. [08:25] The growing awareness among women of their menstrual cycles and overall fertility health. [12:22] The social media's impact on diet trends and how evidence-based advice can cut through the noise. [15:23] Lisa explains how optimal fertility and menstrual health rely on meeting specific nutritional needs. [17:12] How her book encourages people to eat real nutritious food rather than managing food intolerances. [21:09] Why the book isn’t about following rigid diets but offers nutritional flexibility for personalized needs. [24:10] The role of animal products in fertility, focusing on egg and sperm quality and hormonal health. [26:34] How far modern diets have strayed from traditional, nutrient-dense foods and the benefits of returning to those roots.
