Frequently Asked Questions
What is integrative and functional nutrition?
Integrative and Functional Nutrition (IFN) therapy is a leading-edge, evidence-based, systems biology approach to patient care that focuses on identifying root causes and imbalances to significantly improve patient health outcomes.
Why fertility nutrition?
Diet and lifestyle play a very important role in fertility. There are certain key nutrients that can improve egg and sperm health, balance hormones like estrogen and progesterone, and aid in uterine lining and implantation. While many fertility clinics will jump to using pharmaceutical interventions for infertility, I work with you on addressing your diet and environment to improve these issues holistically using food as medicine.
When Should I Start Preparing for Pregnancy?
The earlier the better! But at minimum, preparing 3-4 months before trying is ideal. This is because an egg takes 90-100 days to fertilize - meaning all of your nutrient stores from the last 3 months will go into the egg that will be fertilized and eventually become your baby. By working on your nutrition and health prior to conception, you're ensuring the very best start for your baby's health!
I have PCOS, can I really get pregnant?
Absolutely! PCOS is one of the most common, but treatable, causes of infertility in women. In women with PCOS, the hormonal imbalance interferes with the growth and release of eggs from the ovaries (ovulation). If you don't ovulate, you can't get pregnant. While every case is different, we can work together on improving blood sugar balance, ovulation, and insulin resistance to improve your chances of conceiving naturally.
What's the difference between an RD and nutritionist?
An RD, or Registered Dietitian, is someone who has at minimum a bachelor's degree in nutrition or dietetics and 1200 clinical training hours. RDs must pass a comprehensive national exam and have continuing education hours every year to ensure we remain current on the latest science, research and best practices. Only a person who has met these stringent requirements can use the title “Dietitian.”
Becoming an RD requires completing a rigorous academic program that includes courses in food science, clinical dietetics, community nutrition, lifecycle nutrition, medical nutrition therapy, education methodology, biochemistry, microbiology, social sciences, human anatomy and physiology, and other culinary and nutrition-related classes.
A nutritionist, is not a regulated term, and thus anyone can call themselves one. Because of this, the nutrition world has become saturated with misinformation.
Formal training and credentials are vital for achieving your nutrition and health goals, as what may work for one person, could be ineffective or even harmful to another. Seek professional help, and work with an RD!
