Fertility Nutrition Coaching FAQs

Think of me as the person who fills the gap your medical team doesn't have the time or training to cover.

Reproductive endocrinologists and OB-GYNs are incredible, but their job is to diagnose, treat, and monitor. Mine is to help you build the nutritional foundation that makes everything else work better.

I help women who've been trying to conceive use food and lifestyle habits as tools to support hormone balance, egg quality, blood sugar, and inflammation — all of which have a meaningful impact on fertility outcomes. In addition to being a Certified Perinatal Nutrition Expert, I'm also a Certified Health & Life Coach, so we don't just talk about what to eat. We talk about your relationship with food, your stress, your energy, time management, and how to make sustainable changes in a season of life that's already emotionally exhausting.

This isn't about handing you a meal plan and a few recipes. It's a personalized, high-touch partnership, and I'm with you every step of the way.

Let's be honest, if a quick Google search or a covered insurance visit could solve this, you probably wouldn't still be looking for answers.

I know how many hours you can lose down a rabbit hole of conflicting advice, Instagram reels, and AI-generated meal plans at 1am when you can't sleep (been there). But it’s not just about knowing what to eat, it’s also about knowing what applies to you, staying consistent when life gets in the way, and having someone who genuinely gets it in your corner when things feel overwhelming. I take the guesswork out of what, how, and when to eat, so you're not stuck sifting through conflicting advice on the internet wondering what to believe.

A nutritionist through your insurance can be a great resource, but most clinical settings don't have the capacity for the kind of high-touch, ongoing support that really moves the needle during something as emotionally loaded as a fertility journey. Sessions are often short, infrequent, and limited by what insurance will cover. As a coach rather than a clinician, I have the flexibility to be more hands on and go deeper — covering mindful eating strategies, your relationship with food, emotional eating, time management, and more — without the constraints of a 20-minute covered visit.

You need more than just a few recipes or an “eat this, not that” list handed to you. You need someone who can actually help you apply it to your real life, and that's exactly what this program does. 

You also have me in your back pocket between calls for questions, meal planning support, accountability, and those moments when you're second-guessing yourself and need a real answer from someone who knows your situation and is cheering you on. Not another Bot or Google search.

Yes — and this is actually one of my favorite things to talk about, because I understand the hesitation. Your calendar is already full of appointments, and the last thing you need is more.

But even the best fertility clinics and reproductive endocrinologists don't have the capacity to give you in-depth nutrition guidance. The gap is real, and it's not because anyone is dropping the ball. It's just not what most medical teams have the time or training to provide.

Working with me isn't about adding another thing to your to-do list. It's about filling in the piece that your medical care isn't covering so that everything you're already doing has a stronger foundation to work from.

If you’re looking for a shorter time commitment, the IVF Prep Nutrition Intensive might be a better option for you.

No, you do not need a diagnosis, a referral, or a certain number of months on your TTC journey to work with me. I support women at all stages — whether you've just started trying, you've been at it for a while, you're preparing for IVF or IUI, or you're trying again after a loss.

That said, if you do have a diagnosis like PCOS, endometriosis, unexplained infertility, or elevated inflammation markers, nutrition matters even more. "Just take a prenatal" advice barely scratches the surface, especially when there are underlying conditions at play.

If you're not sure whether this is the right fit, book your free Fertility Clarity Call and I'll give you my honest feedback.

If you have a transfer coming up in the next few weeks and don’t have months to prepare your body, the IVF Prep Nutrition Intensive is the best option for you.

You can book the intensive without a consultation so we can get started right away.

I do. After more than a year of trying to conceive, I sat in a fertility consultation and heard two words I wasn't prepared for: unexplained infertility. I drove home through the Hollywood Hills with tears streaming down my face, a blue-and-white folder from the clinic sitting on my passenger seat full of information on IUI and IVF.

Tucked at the back of that folder was a short list of nutrition recommendations: Avoid fatty foods. Don't eat canned foods. Reduce stress. Etc. 

That moment made the gap in fertility nutrition support even more apparent. I was already a health coach who'd been supporting women through their own fertility journeys, and even I wasn't getting the guidance that I knew mattered.

That experience deepened my commitment to this work. It also shaped the way I show up for my clients — not just as a coach with certifications, but as someone who truly understands what it feels like when trying to conceive isn't going the way you hoped.

Not at all. My approach is food-first and realistic, focusing on adding in more nourishing foods rather than just focusing on what to eliminate. My goal is to help you make progress, not do everything “perfectly.” 

I hear from so many women who've been told they need to cut out gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, and caffeine, and that can feel really overwhelming. For some people with sensitivities, removing certain foods can genuinely help. But for most people, that level of restriction leads to not eating enough, swapping in less nutritious alternatives, or giving up entirely — none of which helps you get pregnant faster.

My approach focuses on small shifts that move the needle and meet you where you’re at. Simple, strategic, and grounded in what the research shows works. The basics, done consistently, will do far more for your fertility than any trending hacks or overpriced wellness products. 

One sugary day doesn't derail your fertility any more than one kale salad magically fixes it. What matters is what you're doing most of the time and that you feel good about how you’re taking care of yourself.

I guide clients through my four-step signature framework I've developed through years of working with women on their fertility journeys. This is the process inside my 1:1 program, Fueling Your Fertility:

STEP 1: Clear the Clutter & Create Space

Before we add anything, we need to clear space — physically, mentally, emotionally — for all the nourishing food and habits that you’re going to build. We get aligned on your goals and priorities, and take steps to simplify your life enough that healthy choices actually fit in.

STEP 2: Build a Fertility-Fueling Foundation

This is where we dial in what and how to eat in a way that supports your hormones, blood sugar, digestion, inflammation, and egg health. Instead of restriction, we focus on what to add — like balanced meals, strategic nutrients, and tools that make eating better feel simple and intuitive.

STEP 3: Support Digestion, Nervous System & Inflammation

Food matters, but if your body is stressed, it can’t fully benefit from it. We focus on supporting digestion, calming the nervous system, and creating habits (including those outside of food) that reduce inflammation so your body can become a more safe and supportive home for your future baby.

STEP 4: Create Consistency That Lasts

This is where we explore real-life barriers and make the changes sustainable so you feel confident and trust yourself to make supportive choices. We address self-sabotage, emotional eating, and the patterns that tend to pull you off track when life gets busy or stressful. Rather than relying on willpower, you learn how to meet emotional needs without using food and how to stay consistent even when things aren’t perfect.

Fueling Your Fertility is a 3-month, private 1:1 experience to support fertility and a healthier relationship with food.

Here's what’s included:

• Two private coaching calls per month (six total) where we co-create a clear, personalized food-first plan for your fertility goals — in a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported.

• Personal check-ins for accountability + text/voice note access between calls so you’re never left trying to figure it out alone. 

• Curated Resource Hub filled with done-for-you tools including The Balanced Bite Blueprint + Recipe Collection, Guide to Choosing a Prenatal Supplement, Fertility Meal Planner, and more — designed to take the guesswork out of what to eat and bring ease to your everyday life.

• Done-With-You Day — bonus co-working session to knock out meal planning and grocery shopping with you…because buying broccoli only to have it go bad in the back of your fridge isn’t helping anyone. Follow-through happens when there’s structure, support, and accountability.

After the three months, you also have the option to continue with month-to-month coaching if you want ongoing support to keep up the momentum, whether you're still TTC or become pregnant.

The IVF Prep Nutrition Intensive is the fast track for fertility nutrition and lifestyle support designed for women preparing for an egg retrieval or embryo transfer.

Here's what’s included:

• 90-Minute IVF Prep Deep Dive

  We’ll dive into the key nutrition information you need before your cycle to help balance your blood sugar and reduce inflammation through smart, specific food and lifestyle choices (not just "eat clean"). You’ll leave with a plan that feels clear and doable so there’s no confusion on next steps. 
  

• Fertility Toxin Audit

  I’ll take a closer look at your food and everyday environment to target key areas where you can reduce your toxic load and support fertility. We’ll look at your food, cookware, skincare, household products, environment, and more. I’ll share my recommendations and guide you through what specific swaps or changes you want to make to reduce inflammation before your cycle.
   

• 3 x 25-Minute Follow-Up Calls

  These are where we troubleshoot, build on what's working, and keep you moving forward. We'll go through your Toxin Audit together, adjust your plan as your treatment schedule shifts, and address whatever's coming up. Schedule them across 4-6 weeks or fit them around your appointments — your call.
  

• Access to the curated Resource Hub

  Done-for-you tools including the Balanced Bite Blueprint + Recipe Collection, Guide to Choosing a Prenatal Supplement, Fertility Meal Planner, and more — yours to keep long after our time together wraps.

After the Intensive, you also have the option to continue with month-to-month coaching if you want ongoing support to keep up the momentum, whether you're still TTC or become pregnant.

I totally get why you'd feel that way. When you've been doing everything right and still not getting the result you want, it's exhausting and discouraging. 

Here's my take: nutrition is often overlooked because it seems too simple. We assume the answer has to be more complicated to make a real difference. But many women are living with chronic inflammation, blood sugar imbalances, and nutrient gaps that quietly impact hormone function, egg quality, and the environment a baby needs to implant and grow — and they have no idea, because no one's ever walked them through it.

A 2024 research review concluded that optimizing nutrition and lifestyle before conception significantly influences the chances of conception, the success of fertility treatments, and even the long-term health of your future baby.

Healthy eating and fertility-focused eating aren't necessarily the same thing, either. There's a lot of noise in the wellness world about what's "healthy," and some of those practices can actually work against you. The shifts we make together are specific, strategic, and based on what the research actually shows, not TikTok trends.

If you want to talk through whether this could make a difference for you specifically, the free Fertility Clarity Call is the place to start.

I live in Los Angeles, California, but all sessions are online, which means we can work together from just about anywhere in the world. I’ve had clients all over the US, Australia, and the UK. Many time zones can be accommodated to make our 1:1 calls work for both of us.
