Understanding our bodies' nutrient needs can be challenging even without the added complication of an impending pregnancy.

In this episode, I explain the differences between plant and animal proteins.

I also explain the role of proteins and amino acids in the fertility process and share where to find these nutrients in your diet.

Show Notes:

  • Is a vegan diet conducive to fertility

  • How do animal products affect fertility

  • What is the difference between protein from

    animals versus plants

  • Why is vegetable protein harder to digest

  • What role do amino acids play in fertility

  • How much protein do vegetarians need

  • Which foods are high in protein

"There is evidence showing the risks of under-eating animal products on fertility and fetal development." - Brooke Boskovich.
