In this video, Dr. Sterling shares a realistic and empowering approach to nutrition and food choices when you’re trying to conceive—without centering weight loss or falling into restrictive eating patterns.

You’ll learn what really matters when it comes to food and fertility, including:

• How to center wellness (not weight) in your nutrition choices

• The real purpose of nutrition while TTC—supporting your fertility and early pregnancy

• Evidence-backed dietary patterns like the Fertility Diet and Mediterranean Diet

• What to know about caffeine, alcohol, and food restrictions during the trying-to-conceive window

• How to approach the two-week wait (and when you don’t need to start avoiding sushi or deli meat!)

Dr. Sterling also gently unpacks the emotional side of nutrition—how to bring joy, flexibility, and pleasure back into food while preparing for pregnancy. She shares personal stories, real science, and practical tips that meet you where you are.
