Nutrition is a key component in fertility and pregnancy. Ova, sperm, hormone levels and uterus should be healthy from the beginning to the end of a pregnancy. To achieve this, the continuous supply of nutrients is essential in all its stages.
Nutritional education concerns men and women in order to improve the dietary habits and increase the couple’s fertility.

The dietician can guide you throughout your pregnancy, avoiding any confusion, so that the weight you gain during your pregnancy may not be more or less than is necessary. This way, you achieve the healthy development of the fetus, without deficiencies, avoiding too big or too small birth weight while maintaining a good body image during pregnancy and after the birth.
Regardless of your original purpose, you and the dietitian can together create a dietary regimen that fits your needs, based purely on a scientific foundation for absolute certainty.

The recommended program is a year-long monitoring (three months before the conception and throughout pregnancy). This monitoring includes an appointment for the assessment of the nutritional status of the couple and a first nutritional education, continuing with an appointment every fifteen – thirty days and weekly reminder mails of the dietary goals of the week.
