ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
Approximately 500m per year is spent in the UK on assisted conception techniques such as IVF by couples who do not know that their diet could be affecting their fertility. Men and women who are stigmatised as 'infertile' or told they are too old to have a baby feel betrayed by their own bodies yet, according to Sarah Dobbyn, biological age and chronological age do not have to coincide. If your body believes you are young and healthy enough to have a baby, no matter how old you are, you will be able to conceive a child - and easily. Not only this, but a healthy diet that eschews 'contraceptive foods' can enhance libido and delay the onset of the menopause. With chapters on fertility power foods, supplements and drinks, enhancing male fertility and avoiding miscarriage, The Fertility Dieti0 will tell readers everything they need to know about staying as young, fertile and sexually charged for as long as possible. With delicious recipes and a Fertility Action Plan at the end of each chapter, the book sets out suggestions for immediate steps you can take today to maximise your chances of conceiving the old-fashioned way.
USER REVIEWS
"Not only to fertility, but to diet. This book was written by a barrister for 17 years who made a lifestyle change to become a nutritionist. The author recommends organic, raw, vegan food and includes some superb recipes for true healthy living. She also gives lots of tips on what to avoid and why - microwave ovens, electrical clocks by your bed, cleaning products etc. If this sounds boring - it isn't. Sarah has a racy, clear writing stye interspersed with humour and anecdotes. It's truly a life-changing book for the individual, the family and the planet (lots of green tips too), not to mention the babies that are born as a result of the mother following her recommendations. My own research has found out congruent dietary benefits and many people have benefited from following Sarah's dietary recommendations, and I detail some of them in Travelling Magically: How to Turn Your Journey into a Life-changing Experience, which talks about, among other things, how changing your diet can improve your experience of travelling and your life.

"A fantastic book! It has all the information and facts you need and is written in a simple easy to understand manner with just the right dose of humour. Even if you aren't planning on having a baby right now, it's well worth following at least some of the suggestions in the book to keep your options open for further down the line.... you never know."

"This is by far and away the best fertility book I've read, because of its great combination of content and tone. It covers everything (and more!) - well researched with plenty of references; and it is also well written and had me frequently laughing out loud - unusual for books covering this topic! This book alongside Toni Weschler's book - the two are complimentary - pretty much make a complete library."

"This is a great book for anyone wanting more information on how to increase their fertility. Most of the other books and websites I have seen on this topic repeat the same limited information. This book includes alot of new material and tips that I have never read about or seen before and its all collated and summarised in a very easy to read format.
I really liked the anti ageing and general wellness tips also. This book is a good reference generally for women (and men) on how to live and eat to increase their general health. Sarah's sense of humour and writing style is very easy to read but it backed up by lots of scientific research so it comes across as extremely well researched and credible material.
I highly recommend this book to all women thinking about fertility and especially to women over 30, even those not thinking about having a baby right now."

"I bought this book and got something I did not expect: a book that can change your perception on the things I do on a daily basis without realising their effect on my fertility.
I generally lead a healthy life with a balanced diet (or so I thought), but this book opened my eyes - some things that I thought were bad (e.g. chocolate, moderately consumed) can be good and others that I thought were good (e.g. soya milk and other soya products) are quite obviously unhealthy.
The book is well researched (in fact impressively scientific in its approach)and the author writes with refreshing honesty. Each chapter has a helpful bullet point list with easy ways to implement those things that the chapter dealt with.
I can't recommend this book enough for anyone wishing to improve their fertility or learn about fertility related issues (see for example the chapter on aphrodisiac foods...). "
