Dietitian Lisa Simon's empathic guide to achieving a healthy pregnancy and birth, with a whole food, plant-based diet as the core lifestyle measure A guide to optimizing male and female fertility via a whole food plant-based diet and lifestyle interventions, drawing on the growing evidence that animal products and trans fats can have a detrimental impact on fertility and supporting the beneficial effects of plant-based eating. The role of macro- and micro-nutrients, the nutrients and fiber found only in whole plants, and the importance of tackling sleep and stress issues are explained together with guidance on how to harness the latest knowledge. Lisa Simon draws on her personal experience of overcoming fertility issues with a plant-based diet and on her professional work with many clients seeking a healthy and successful pregnancy.

For any and all health professionals: an evidence-based guide to the uses, benefits and practical application of a plant-based diet The book draws on the University of Winchester's Plant-based nutrition course--the first university-based course in the UK on plant-based nutrition--taking both an holistic and a systems-based (heart, respiratory system, diabetes, kidneys, liver, gut) approach. The course is led by Shireen Kassam with contributions from most of the chapter authors, all of whom are internationally recognized for their work with plant-based nutrition. Each chapter is backed up by 50+ key references.
