How Preconception Care Sets the Stage for Preparing for Pregnancy
Is “getting healthy before pregnancy” truly necessary?
The short answer: 100% YES!
When you’re preparing for pregnancy, prioritizing preconception care is one of the most impactful things you can do to optimize your chances of a healthy pregnancy and baby.
The 90-Day Advantage in Preparing for Pregnancy
Here’s the secret: The actions you take today can impact your egg quality (and sperm quality) 90 days from now. That’s because eggs and sperm take about three months to mature. Taking at least 90 days to focus on preconception care allows you to optimize your reproductive health and speed up your journey to conception.
Knowledge vs. Action: The Game-Changer in Preparing for Pregnancy
Knowing what to do is just the start—knowing how to take action is the game-changer. Here are some powerful steps to begin preparing your body for pregnancy:
1. Choose Fertility-Boosting Supplements
Not all supplements are created equal. High-quality, absorbable supplements are essential when preparing for pregnancy, but knowing the right supplements for your unique needs is key.
2. Upgrade Your Diet
A nutrient-rich diet is foundational for improving fertility. Opt for clean, lean, and green foods. Choose organic, hormone-free, and non-processed options that nourish your body and balance your hormones.
Start by adding fertility-enhancing foods like:
- Leafy greens
- Avocados
- Wild-caught salmon
- Seeds and nuts

3. Incorporate the Right Exercise
Exercise promotes circulation, reduces stress, and balances hormones—all critical for fertility. Yoga is especially beneficial, combining gentle movement with mindfulness. Avoid overly intense workouts, as they can sometimes hinder reproductive health.
4. Reduce or Eliminate Caffeine
Caffeine can disrupt hormonal balance, interfere with ovulation, and increase miscarriage risk. Cutting back—or eliminating it altogether—can significantly improve your chances of conception.
5. Explore Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine has been used to enhance fertility. TCM focuses on tailoring treatments to individual needs, addressing patterns of disharmony, and supporting the body holistically.
I integrate TCM with Western medicine in my fertility coaching programs to ensure a fully personalized approach, working closely with your healthcare providers to optimize your fertility journey.
