After reading dozens of medical reports on what makes up the best “fertility diet,” reading books on fertility and healthy eating in general (although not specific to fertility, I love The Blue Zones), and getting recommendations from my functional doctor and dietician, I came up with this shopping list for fertility.
It includes the basics of fertility-boosting foods. As a general rule, spend the majority of your time shopping around the outer aisles (fruits and veggies, seafood, plant-based protein like nuts, beans, and seeds, high fat dairy), some time at the bakery/grains (whole grains like wheat bread or brown rice — and although cereal is not a great option for breakfast, Special K +Protein is my favorite nutritionally and in terms of taste!), and little time in the inside aisles (olive oil and steel-cut oats; but little or no pre-packaged snacks or drinks).
This list is full of the staples that I always try to have on hand at my house; for specific recipe ideas and other ingredients, check out my page of fertility recipes.
