Lifestyle & Nutrition Support

Home > Specialty > Lifestyle & Nutrition Support

Lifestyle and nutrition play a powerful role in reproductive health for both men and women. Factors such as diet quality, weight balance, stress levels, sleep, alcohol, smoking, exercise, and environmental exposures can directly influence egg health, sperm quality, ovulation, hormonal balance, and implantation.
Scientific evidence shows that adopting a balanced diet, regular physical activity, healthy body weight, stress management, and reducing harmful habits significantly improve natural conception rates and IVF outcomes. Lifestyle support is an essential part of fertility care and provides couples with better control over their reproductive journey.
