The Fertility Kitchen - by Charlotte Grand (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

'Full of insightful information, valuable health hacks and delicious recipes' Dr Mark Surrey

The Fertility Kitchen is the go-to nutrition and lifestyle cookbook for anyone who wants to become pregnant - whether they are just starting to think about having a baby, have been trying for a while, are navigating infertility or exploring assisted conception.

In today's fast-paced society, we are so used to getting what we want, when we want it. For women suffering with infertility it can be the first time they find themselves in a situation they have little control over: they can feel powerless. The Fertility Kitchen will help to reclaim some of that lost power.

Part one of The Fertility Kitchen is based around the three 'pillars' of 'Fertility', 'Food', and 'Life', that sit at the heart of everything Charlotte is passionate about, giving a framework for an achievable life-style change. Charlotte shares her expertly tailored, nutrient-rich fertility nutrition and lifestyle plan, covering stress, movement, sleep, and social connection.

Part two will help readers put this plan into practice with over 60 original flavour-packed yet simple recipes that embrace everything that's good for fertility. Charlotte explains the food philosophy that she teaches her clients, the foundations of good nutrition and its importance for optimal fertility. She addresses the key areas of health that can affect fertility, enabling readers to personalise their diet to suit their unique needs, as well as outlining the impact lifestyle can have on fertility, giving readers the strategies to achieve balance across all aspects of their life.
