Nutrition and Fertility: Foods That Support Conception

Dr. Arjun Mehta
Reproductive Endocrinologist
What you eat can significantly influence your fertility. Research shows that certain dietary patterns support reproductive health for both women and men.
For Women
A Mediterranean-style diet rich in whole grains, leafy greens, healthy fats, and lean protein supports egg quality and hormonal balance. Folate, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids are particularly important.
For Men
Antioxidant-rich foods including berries, nuts, and dark leafy greens protect sperm from oxidative damage. Zinc and selenium are essential minerals for sperm production.
Foods to Limit
Processed foods, trans fats, excessive caffeine, and alcohol may negatively impact fertility. Our nutrition counselors can help you create a personalized fertility-friendly meal plan.
