Fertility Weight Loss Program
According to a recent poll, the top three most common New Year’s resolutions revolve around improving one’s health, weight, or overall wellness and enjoyment of life. Are you one of the many who share these resolutions? At the Wellness Center at Shady Grove Fertility, we understand that managing diet and lifestyle changes can be tricky and overwhelming when you’re going through fertility treatment. You may also find that all the hormones and medications make weight loss more difficult. Furthermore, fertility treatment can plan an emotional and physical toll, perhaps leaving you a little less motivated.
We developed the Fit to Be Fertile Program for exactly these reasons. This 8-week supportive weight loss program has proven to provide patients with a powerful sense of community as well as successful weight loss and fertility outcomes. We know that carrying excess weight may have a detrimental effect on fertility including success rates with fertility treatment. However, most of the weight loss programs out there don’t take into account the unique needs of women trying to conceive. In the Fit to Be Fertile Program, we emphasize nutrient dense and satisfying foods, while passing on the heavily processed and “diet” foods that many weight loss programs rely on. The Fit to Be Fertile Program is led by a nutritionist who specializes in nutrition for fertility and is able to answer all of your questions about nutrition and supplements during the fertility process. Previous group members have lost 10 to 27 pounds during the 8-week program and some went on to see improved regulation of their menstrual cycles and ovulation, and healthy pregnancy.
The program includes an individual 1-hour initial consultation with our nutritionist and 7 consecutive weeks of 1-hour group meetings. During your initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss personal diet and lifestyle goals as well as learn about nutrition for fertility and helpful meal planning techniques.
