Perfect Hormone Balance for Fertility: The Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant

Satya — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:00:00 GMT

If you’re in the dark about what is causing your infertility I highly recommend this book by Dr. Robert Green, an experienced and sought-after reproductive expert. In addition to understanding the treatment of infertility as a physician he’s also been on the patient side with his wife, which makes his writing so much more personal.

Green’s book leaves you with no stone unturned. The book is written as if the author is your doctor, guiding you through each possibility. He begins at the first step, which examines your basic lifestyle and provides information on how it could be affecting your fertility. He then identifies physical factors by giving the reader information on each hormone and organ needed for conception. He includes handy charts for the reader to fill out and evaluate their own situation. These charts accompanied with the basic information about physical factors allow the reader to slowly deduce what their problem may be.

Green is persistent in the idea that “less is more” in regard to fertility treatments. He focuses primarily on what is often the root of the problem: hormonal imbalance. The hormonal imbalances he’s seen in his experience have often been treatable through diet and exercise. He emphasizes how stress, environmental toxins and weight and diet issues all contribute to fertility in ways that most doctors don’t address before putting a patient on the road to expensive treatments. He also delves deep into each fertility disruption such as endometriosis, PCOS and sluggish sperm with recommended treatments.

This book gives the reader a feeling of hope and viable options in how to deal with their infertility and optimizing conception. Dr. Greene believes that couples do not seek help for their fertility problems out of fear of failure. It is for those couples that this book was written and those couples that will benefit most from its information and message. Pick up a copy here.

The New Breastfeeding Diet Plan

Satya — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 17:54:00 GMT

The New Breastfeeding Diet Plan is a must-read for any mother, although it would be better described by a title like A Guide to Nutrition during Reproduction. The information it provides is not only valuable during the breastfeeding phase, but also during pregnancy, after birth and beyond.

While the technical language used by authors Rountree and Block may be confusing as they explain how the body works and reacts to nutrients and minerals from different foods, it is well worth taking the time to analyze it and understand it.

The New Breastfeeding Diet Plan is the kind of book that you’ll want to keep close by for reference as it’s filled with helpful resources from where to get nutritious foods and organics to information on toxins found in breast milk and how to reduce them. It also includes a list of other books that focus on nutrition and recipes for families.

The authors’ expertise really shines through in every chapter of the book. Their voices are caring and understanding, making it a more pleasant read than some of the more cookie-cutter parenting books out there. And although it is dense with information, it is a relatively small book making for a quick read and a good go-to reference guide.

The bottom line? The New Breastfeeding Diet Plan is a great book that encompasses everything you need to know about nutrition for you and your baby. Pick up a copy here.
