THE FAMILY YOU’VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF
NUTRITION AND REPRODUCTION
We know that three factors of our lifestyle play a fundamental role in fertility: following a Mediterranean diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress. For fivclínic+, providing individualized and comprehensive nutritional care from the beginning of the reproductive process is essential. The role of our team of dietitians and nutritionists is to accompany you throughout the fertility treatment to encourage healthy lifestyle habits that will help you achieve the much-desired pregnancy.

PERSONALIZED FERTILITY TREATMENT
Each patient is unique, which is why each treatment at fivclínic+ is individualized. The first step is to determine the cause of infertility in the couple and design the most appropriate IVF treatment. Request an appointment without obligation.
NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT IN FERTILITY TREATMENTS: WHAT DO WE OFFER?
The impact of lifestyle on both natural fertility and the outcomes of assisted reproductive techniques is undeniable. We know that the most determining factor in reproduction is the woman’s age. However, other factors such as smoking, obesity, diet, alcohol, stress, or exercise are also significant.
At fivclínic+, we firmly believe that diet is one of the environmental factors with the most significant consequences on reproductive capacity, as well as on the development of the embryo and fetus. Scientific evidence shows that a healthy dietary pattern, such as the Mediterranean diet, improves the outcomes of assisted reproductive techniques and the possibility of pregnancy. How can we help you?
INDIVIDUALIZED AND COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH
Excess weight or low weight increases the risk of infertility and makes pregnancy more difficult to achieve. That’s why it is common for us to assess the body mass index (BMI) during the first visit. In cases of overweight, especially obesity, we recommend controlled weight loss. A BMI above 25 reduces the chances of pregnancy and also increases the miscarriage rate. Sometimes, obesity is precisely what reduces our natural fertility by altering our menstrual cycle.
PRECONCEPTION DIETARY TREATMENT
In certain cases of infertility, the solution is not assisted reproductive treatment. For example, when infertility is caused by a clear endocrine issue, the doctor may decide that the first treatment should be weight loss.
DIETARY GUIDELINES THAT PROMOTE TREATMENT
It is important to be aware that lifestyle habits and reproduction go hand in hand. That’s why they should be as healthy as possible. One of the most relevant and easily controllable factors is diet. To address this, our team of nutritionists will review what is being eaten and in what quantities. Additionally, they will suggest how to pair a proper and sufficient diet with physical exercise, which will help compensate for energy consumption, as well as release endorphins and many other benefits.
SUPPORT FOR ELIMINATING TOXIC HABITS
Alcohol and smoking are two factors that negatively affect a couple’s fertility, impacting both sperm quality and egg quality, worsening egg recovery rates, and consequently, pregnancy rates. Therefore, our team will give you tips on how to avoid alcohol and smoking while trying to conceive. Once pregnancy is achieved, there is no doubt: no alcohol or smoking at all.
DIETARY SUPPORT DURING PREGNANCY
Excess weight is something we need to control. An obese woman who becomes pregnant is at a higher risk of pregnancy complications and worse perinatal outcomes. Our team monitors and provides guidelines to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
DIET AND FERTILITY: DOES THE IDEAL DIET EXIST?
Scientific research on nutrition and fertility has advanced significantly in recent years, and although it is not yet robust in some cases, it allows us to understand which nutrients could positively or negatively impact fertility.
WHICH FOODS ARE BENEFICIAL FOR FERTILITY?
It is known that the intake of complex carbohydrates and fiber, found in whole grains and derivatives; monounsaturated fats, like olive oil; and omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish, may have a beneficial effect on fertility in both women and men.
At the same time, it has been observed that replacing some animal protein (meat, fish, eggs) with plant-based proteins (legumes, nuts, and seeds) promotes ovulation.
Additionally, an adequate intake of vitamins and minerals is essential to promote fertility. Specifically, antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, selenium, and zinc seem to play an essential role in male reproduction. The main sources of vitamins and antioxidants are found in fruits, vegetables, and greens.
WHICH FOODS SHOULD WE AVOID DURING A REPRODUCTIVE PROCESS?
On the other hand, excessive intake of saturated fats, trans fats, and animal proteins could have a detrimental effect on fertility. This group includes foods such as red and processed meats, sausages, pastries, and fast food.
Keeping this in mind, the current Western diet, characterized by excessive consumption of red meats, processed foods, saturated fats, refined sugars, and low intake of fiber and vitamins, would have a negative impact on fertility.
WHAT SHOULD A DIET TO ACHIEVE PREGNANCY BE LIKE?
Answering the initial question, we can affirm that, although there is no single fertility diet, we can talk about different dietary patterns that may promote fertility, such as the Mediterranean, Atlantic, vegetarian, and even vegan diets, always under the supervision of a professional.
