Nutrition for Preconception Health and Fertility

Dr. Linden Stocker and Professor Alexandra Kermack discuss how preconception nutrition and lifestyle choices made by both parents have a lasting impact on fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and the long-term health of their children. Balanced dietary patterns rich in essential macro and micronutrients, fiber, and antioxidants, support reproductive health, while excess alcohol, caffeine, and ultra-processed foods can pose risks. Early education, public health strategies, and tailored guidance can help integrate preconception nutrition into broader reproductive health practices.
