Summary

Infertility is on the rise. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and postpartum depression is, too. Can diet help address these issues? And what’s the best diet to enhance fertility? Lily Nichols is a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist and the author of Real Food for Fertility, Real Food for Pregnancy and Real Food for Gestational Diabetes. Today, Lily offers practical advice for tackling the issues mentioned above and more.

Lily covers how to maximize micronutrients for mothers and mothers-to-be, even when on a budget. She gets specific about foods to include in the diet that enhance fertility and combat insulin resistance (a central factor in PCOS). She also goes over why a protein-rich diet is critical for nourishment pre- and post-partum for better energy, satiety and to combat nutritional deficiencies. Finally, she offers insights on breastfeeding and how to deal with overwhelm in the first few months following giving birth.
