Can French Fries Increase Your Fertility?: Navigating the Myths of Conceiving, Risk Factors, and Proper Nourishment

Mayo Clinic on Nutrition

One in six people struggle to conceive. Factors like age and irregular menstrual cycles are out of their hands -- but their diet, however, is completely under their control. That said, is there actually any correlation between what we eat and our fertility?

On this episode of On Nutrition, we talk with reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Ali Ainsworth about subfertility, supplements, and whether pomegranate can help you get pregnant.
