Ep 59 Getting to Baby with Nutrition, Diet, and Foods for Fertility with Authors Angela Thyer, MD and Judy Simon, RD

How much does what we eat impact our fertility?

Certainly food influences pregnancy and fertility much more than most of us know, possibly more than our doctors know! Fortunately, a book is coming that can change all that, and in this episode, Dr. Lora Shahine is talking with the authors about fertility, food, nutrition, the science of food and fertility, the myths surrounding nutrition and reproduction (hint: it's NOT all about BMI), and so much more.

Dr. Angela Thyer is a reproductive endocrinologist and Judy Simon is a registered dietitian and reproductive health nutritionist in Seattle, and together they've written Getting to Baby: A Food-First Fertility Plan to Improve Your Odds and Shorten Your Time to Pregnancy.

Getting to Baby is a deep dive into choosing the right foods to reduce inflammation and support a healthy body; eating to support conception, healthy pregnancy, and IVF treatments; and actually enjoying shopping, cooking, and eating.

In this episode you'll hear:

[0:00] Introducing the idea of fertility nutrition with a focus on plant-based foods

[0:51] Nutrition's impact on fertility with medical doctor and registered dietitian
