Fertility, Prenatal & Postpartum

Your path to motherhood may not look the way you expected.

Fertility struggles, IVF, pregnancy loss, pregnancy symptoms, and postpartum depletion can make food feel like one more thing to get right. Our Registered Dietitians provide personalized nutrition support through fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum—without blame, false promises, or pressure to do everything perfectly.

When growing your family feels harder than you expected

Trying to conceive, undergoing fertility treatment, moving through pregnancy, or recovering after birth can bring physical symptoms, difficult decisions, and an overwhelming amount of conflicting advice. You deserve support that recognizes the full experience—not just another list of foods to eat or avoid.

✦

Fertility, pregnancy, and recovery are shaped by more than food.

Your reproductive and medical history, hormones, nutrient status, metabolic health, digestion, stress, sleep, treatment plan, and current stage can all influence what your body needs. Nutrition care should consider these factors together—not imply that one perfect diet can control the outcome.

Personalized Clinical Care

A plan built around your stage, symptoms, and real life.

Your dietitian will gather the full picture before developing your plan. Recommendations are personalized to your fertility or pregnancy journey, medical care, symptoms, laboratory results, eating patterns, preferences, lifestyle, and current capacity.

Comprehensive functional nutrition assessment

A detailed review of your reproductive and medical history, current stage, symptoms, eating patterns, laboratory results, medications, supplements, digestion, lifestyle and concerns.

Fertility + IVF nutrition support

Practical nutrition support while trying to conceive or navigating IUI, IVF, egg retrieval, embryo transfer or another fertility treatment.

Prenatal nutrition support

Personalized guidance for pregnancy symptoms, nutrient needs, meal planning, food tolerance, digestion and changing appetite throughout pregnancy.

Blood-sugar support

Individualized meals and snacks for PCOS, insulin resistance, elevated blood glucose or gestational diabetes in collaboration with your medical team.

Prenatal + supplement review

A thoughtful review of prenatal vitamins and other supplements for nutrient gaps, unnecessary overlap, tolerability and questions to discuss with your physician.

Postpartum nourishment + recovery

Realistic support for regular meals, hydration, nutrient repletion, digestion, energy, physical recovery and feeding yourself while caring for a newborn.

The Body Side of The CALM Method

Whole-person support through every stage

The CALM Method brings nutrition, lifestyle, body awareness, and nervous-system support together—because fertility treatment, pregnancy, loss, birth, and postpartum recovery affect far more than what is on your plate.

C

Connection

Recognizing patterns in hunger, appetite, nausea, digestion, energy, blood sugar, sleep, stress and the ways your body communicates.

A

Alignment

Connecting your nutrition plan with your current stage, medical care, laboratory results, values, preferences and personal goals.

L

Lifestyle

Creating realistic routines for meals, snacks, hydration, supplements, movement, appointments, recovery and newborn care.

M

Mindfulness + Movement

Using compassionate eating, grounding, body awareness, appropriate movement and nervous-system support to reduce overwhelm and pressure.

What feeling more supported can look like

Every woman’s experience is different, and nutrition cannot control every outcome. Meaningful progress may include:

Lactation + Breastfeeding Support

Nourishing you, while you nourish your baby.

Breastfeeding asks a great deal of your body. Our care includes lactation-informed nutrition support—maternal nutrient needs, adequate energy and protein, hydration, and practical nourishment during the newborn period—guided by Alisse Larkin, RD, CLC, our Certified Lactation Counselor.

We also hold space for body image and your relationship with food through pregnancy and postpartum—seasons when both deserve extra gentleness.

Nutrition care alongside your fertility and medical team

Nutrition support can be a valuable part of fertility, prenatal, and postpartum care, but it does not replace your reproductive endocrinologist, obstetrician, midwife, lactation consultant, therapist or other medical providers. We collaborate with your care team when appropriate and help you apply nutrition recommendations without suggesting that food can guarantee conception, prevent pregnancy loss or control every pregnancy outcome.
