"This book is driven by conclusions drawn from the Nurses Health Study. The NHS was a multi-decade study of over 120,000 female RN's, and tracked everything from diet and exercise to lifestyle choices. With all that data, patterns start to emerge, and a lot of people have been trying to make sense of it. So, here's a book that attempts to draw conclusions between certain lifestyle practices, and increased fertility, with all other factors being equal or accounted for (smoking, birth control use, relationship status, etc). There are several basic tenets that arise out of the swirling data clouds. Most are obvious to anyone with a pretty rudimentary understanding of the female reproductive system, but there are a few surprises. There is a lot of dietary advice - is caffeine really bad for your fertility? how much ice cream helps make a baby? (one serving per day!!) good carbs, good fats, staying hydrated, and plant proteins are recommended alongside exercise and losing 7.5% of your body weight. There's no magic bullet here, just some common sense ideas that, put together, likely culminate in a higher rate of fertility. The presentation is rooted in research, but mostly accessible, although some of the pedantic scientific reasoning is a yawnfest for someone who has baby fever. I don't think I need to read it again, but I did take pretty detailed notes while I was reading, so I absorbed most of the pertinent info."
"After going thru this fertility journey 3 years, this book didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know. Good for someone just starting their journey."
"Actually I only read half of this book before someone else wanted it from the library. I thought the 10 steps at the very beginning were good advice but it was all stuff that I knew like eat more vegetable protein, eat more whole grains, exercise, drink lots of water, stay away from trans fats etc. The rest of what I read was pretty repetitive but that's how most of these books are, because if they were succinct their book would be 20 pages long and then they couldn't charge $29.95 for it :-)"
