The Fertility Formula

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

An indispensable guide to fertility, covering everything you need to know to optimize your hormones, get pregnant, and take charge of your reproductive health.

Most of us are taught there’s nothing we can do to improve our fertility. It’s simply a matter of luck—and some of us are luckier than others. But this couldn’t be more wrong. In The Fertility Formula, fertility physician Dr. Natalie Crawford reveals the science behind fertility and what you can do, starting now, to improve your fertility and your chances of getting pregnant.

It turns out, most root causes of infertility—from hormone issues and endocrine diseases like PCOS to abnormal cycles and endometriosis, even age-related factors—can be traced back to one thing: inflammation. Understanding and addressing this inflammation is the key to optimizing your fertility at every level. Weaving together cutting-edge science, clinical insight, and patient stories, Dr. Crawford gives you the tools to do just that, including:

• The most common but overlooked causes of infertility and what you can actually do about them
• The truth about the biologic clock and why egg quality is about more than just age
• How to accurately track your menstrual cycle for conception, pregnancy prevention, and hormone health—and uncover the root cause of abnormal cycles
• A step-by-step guide to getting pregnant, from timing intercourse with ovulation to navigating infertility treatments if needed
• A lifestyle plan to improve your hormone health, reduce inflammation, and boost fertility—through better sleep, stress-reduction, nutrition, movement and decreasing toxins
• 20+ recipes for quick, easy, and delicious meals that support hormones and fertility

It’s time to put fertility back in your hands. The Fertility Formula gives you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to take control of your reproductive future.
