Fertility Dietitian | Pregnancy Nutrition
You've started paying closer attention to everything you eat now that you're trying to conceive, and the amount of conflicting advice online is overwhelming. That overwhelm is common. Fertility nutrition rarely gets explained in a way that fits a real, busy life.
In case you're new here, I'm Isbel Cano, a bilingual Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and founder of Basic Habits. If you are looking for support preparing your body for fertility or pregnancy, you are in the right place. Below I'll walk through what actually supports fertility, what to let go of, and how a realistic plan can feel possible.
What Is Fertility Nutrition Support?
Fertility nutrition support focuses on the foods and habits that support hormone balance, ovulation, and a healthy foundation for pregnancy, rather than a single rigid meal plan. This matters because fertility is affected by blood sugar, inflammation, and nutrient stores well before conception happens. Left unaddressed, the uncertainty around what actually helps tends to add stress on top of an already emotional process.
Common Signs You May Need Fertility Nutrition Support
Information overload: Feeling paralyzed by conflicting fertility diet advice online.
Irregular cycles: Cycles that make timing and planning feel unpredictable.
Low energy: Feeling depleted while also trying to eat "perfectly" for conception.
Anxiety around food choices: Second-guessing every meal out of fear it might hurt your chances.
Underlying conditions: Managing PCOS or insulin resistance alongside fertility goals without a clear combined plan.
Does This Sound Like You?
Do I feel overwhelmed by fertility diet advice online? This usually means you need a plan tailored to your body, not more generic information.
Do I have an underlying condition like PCOS alongside my fertility goals? This means your plan needs to address both together, not separately.
Do I feel anxious about every food choice right now? This is common and usually eases once you have a clear, personalized plan to follow.
Step 1
Reach out to share where you are in your fertility journey and what's felt confusing so far.
Step 3
Your first session becomes the starting point for a plan built around your cycle, your labs, and your goals.
What Working Together Looks Like
This support may be a strong fit if you:
- Are actively trying to conceive or planning to in the near future
- Are managing PCOS, insulin resistance, or another condition alongside fertility goals
- Want a realistic, culturally familiar plan instead of a generic fertility diet
This approach may not be the best fit if you:
- Are seeking medical fertility treatment guidance, which should come from your OBGYN or fertility specialist alongside this nutrition support
How I Support Fertility Nutrition
My approach centers on building a foundation of blood sugar balance, nutrient density, and consistency, rather than chasing every trending fertility food.
In sessions, I cover your cycle, any underlying conditions, and your current eating pattern, so your plan supports fertility alongside whatever else is happening in your body.
Progress often looks like steadier energy and more predictable cycles first, with fertility-related goals supported over the following months of consistent habits.

Common Questions About Fertility Nutrition
What foods are good for increasing fertility?
A pattern of whole grains, healthy fats, plant proteins, and colorful produce supports fertility more than any single food, and I'll build that pattern around your real kitchen.
What is the best diet for fertility?
There's no single best diet. A balanced, consistent eating pattern that supports blood sugar and hormone health tends to matter more than any specific plan name.
How can I boost my fertility to get pregnant?
Nutrition is one piece of the picture alongside sleep, stress, and medical care, and I'll focus on the nutrition piece that's realistically within your control.
At what age are 90% of your eggs gone?
Egg count naturally declines with age, and that decline is a medical question best discussed with your OBGYN or fertility specialist, while my work focuses on the nutrition that supports whatever stage you're in.
What drink increases fertility?
No single drink meaningfully changes fertility on its own. Staying hydrated and limiting excess caffeine and alcohol matters more than any specific beverage trend.
You don't have to navigate fertility nutrition alone.
If you are ready to begin support for fertility or pregnancy preparation, I invite you to schedule your consultation.
