Giedre Functional Medicine & Nutrition
I don’t believe in a one-size fits all approach.
There is no such a FERTILITY DIET which might suit to everyone. Therefore, I tailor a personalised nutrition & supplement plan according individual’s gut microbiota, nutrient insufficiencies, hormones, genetic make up, and blood chemistries.

OPTIMISING FERTILITY WITH NUTRITION THERAPY
Nutrition without a doubt is the key to laying down the foundations for a healthy pregnancy, be it through natural conception or IVF. Nutrients play an essential role in creating and maintaining healthy eggs and sperm.
From scientific research and observational studies is evident that fertility can be improved through diet, nutrition and lifestyle. Conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, thyroid disorders, premature ovarian failure, being overweight or underweight, poor sperm quality, or just being a little older can be improved through good, personalised nutrition and supplements.
HOW NUTRITIONAL THERAPY CAN SUPPORT YOUR FERTILITY JOURNEY?
- Improve egg/sperm quality. Latest review found that amount and quality of the nutrients can affect sperm quality by acting on sperm energetic metabolism. Nutrients such as dietary fatty acids and natural polyphenols act as modulators of sperm mitochondrial function.
- Reduce fertility related inflammation. Latest review of multiple studies found that anti-inflammatory diet may help women to ovulate more regularly, improve natural conception, increase success rates of IVF, improve sperm quality in men.
- Reduce stress. Stress depletes body's vital nutrients, needed for fertility. Increased stress hormone Cortisol can interfere with ovulation in women and sperm production in men.
- Optimise the chance of conception, being it natural or IVF
- Helps to combat free radical damage. Free radicals, which can speed up ageing of egg and sperm cells by causing chromosomal damage can be found in certain types of food and in the environment. Genetics also has influence how much cellular damage free radicals might cause. Foods and supplements known as antioxidants might help to fight the effects of free radicals by improving mitochondria health.
- Weight Loss/Weight Gain. Being over or underweight can interrupt normal menstrual cycles and disrupt or even stop ovulation altogether. Excessive weight in men can also lead to reduced sperm counts.
