The Conception Plan

The science-backed guide to fertility and becoming a parent

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The struggle to conceive is real and much bigger than most of us have been led to believe. 1 in 6 couples face difficulty with this during their lives and up to 25% of women will have trouble getting pregnant. The agonising chronic and silent burden of infertility is a global epidemic.

Blending holistic concepts from both Western and Eastern medicine, The Conception Plan will explore how the pillars of diet, exercise, stress management, toxin-free living, sleep optimisation, sex, and relationships can influence both fertility and whole body health.

NHS OB-GYN, Dr Larisa Corda, will equip readers with techniques and expert advice on how to take care of the sperm and eggs you have, the womb environment that will dictate so much of your baby's health, and how you can extend your own lifespan and boost your wellbeing at the same time as maximising fertility.

We're entering an age where people are more desperate than ever to take control of their bodies and create a new blueprint for health that reconditions our fertility and epigenetically shifts future generations towards better physical and emotional wellbeing. Dr Larisa Corda's plan will put us on the right track to successfully conceiving this.
