Avocado – Eat 1/4 – 1/2 every day! Avocado is the king of protein from plants. It contains fat but this is the good fat for fertility. Eating 1/2 avocado with greens (with nuts) for lunch will fill your stomach much longer than eating the typical lunch because it contains so much protein. You will not get “heavy eyes, want to take a nap” symptoms. Your afternoon will be productive and you will be happier. Avocado contains fat but it is the GOOD fat to your body. Try it.

Barley Grass – has 11 times more calcium than cow’s milk, 5 times more iron than spinach, and 7 times more vitamin C and bio-flavonoids than orange juice. It contains vitamin B12. Barley grass juice has anti-viral activities and neutralizes heavy metals in the blood.

Beets  – eat 1/2 beet every day! Beets are the #1 food to move blood means the #1 food for women suffering from any hormonal issues!!!

Coconut Oil burns fat nicely in your guts because of the molecular make-up. Its medium and short-chain fatty acid gets burned in your body as quickly as carbohydrates and it will NOT turn into fat. Coconuts oil is a suitable oil for cooking and for salad dressing. This is the great coconuts oil “Aroma Free“.

Cruciferous Vegetables (dark green vegetables like spinach, swiss chards, cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, arugula, cauliflowers, kales, collard green, turnips)crucifers-licensed contain high amounts of folate (the synthetic name is Folic Acid) and magnesium. A 1/2 cup of boiled spinach contains 33% of your daily value of folate. Magnesium supports progesterone production and increases the blood supply to the uterus. Here’s Kale recipe – Tuscan Kale Salad with Roasted Chickpeas. Here are great recipes using cruciferous vegetables! And one more – these vegetables are high in sulfur contains Glutathione which is the major antioxidants. * Caution: I would not recommend you to drink kale juice every single morning. Non-cooked fresh kale has goitrogenic properties to cause hypo and hyperthyroidism if it was taken as a juice every day. I see sub-par hypothyroidism patients who come with adrenal exhaustion in my clinic every day. If Kale and other cruciferous vegetables are cooked, it can mitigate this risk. I encourage you to eat cruciferous vegetables but it will be wise to eat non-goitrogenic vegetables like cucumbers, beets, celery, parsley, zucchini, and carrots. (Tamie’s Tip – If you are a woman who loves to juice, please be sure to add 5 stalks of celery!)

Eggs – Be sure to buy organic, pasture-raised eggs. “Cage-free” eggs – do not bother by this marketing term. In order to put “cage-free” on the label, the farmer needs to just leave the cage open which does not necessarily mean chickens are outside of the cage. The more orange the egg yolk is, the more vitamin A and D it contains. You will see a big difference in your energy levels once you begin eating protein-based breakfast, compared to eating simple carbohydrates (cereal, toast, waffles, french toast, bagels, pancakes). Egg–food sensitivities (not allergy) is very common, so it is wise to check you are sensitive or not. Find high-quality free-range eggs in your area. (Tamie’s Tip – Boil eggs (put 1/2 tsp baking soda into the pot makes the shell comes off easier)

NOTE – Eating eggs will NOT raise cholesterol – period !!! Dr. Oz explains “eggs and cholesterol“. Eating eggs makes you nauseated, full, bloating? We need to talk. Email me.

Flax Seed Oil 1-2 tsp per day. Flax seeds oil is loaded with Omega 3 essential fatty acids which are important for your fetus’s brain to be formed. This is the essential oil to take! Barlean’s Flax Oil,  Omega  Nutrition, Spectrum – buy at local stores during the summer season. Flaxseed oils need to be refrigerated all the time so that I do not recommend ordering thru Amazon during the summertime.

Garbanzo Bean – Very low glycemic index. This is a rich source of Vitamin B6, which metabolizes foods, helps hemoglobin, stabilizes blood sugar, and makes antibodies. One cup of canned chickpeas contains 1.1 mg of vitamin B6 which is 55% of your daily value. Why do you want to take synthetic B6 (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate) instead ??? Wheat germ, soybeans, mushrooms, banana, and wild salmon also contains B6. Here’s a good recipe for a low-calorie protein-rich hummus recipe.

Kale  – High in vitamin A, C, and K1, calcium, potassium, folic acid, lutein, antioxidants, per calorie, kale has more iron than beef, more calcium than milk, 10x more vitamin C than spinach; Kale is good for eyes, skin, bone, reduces the risk of heart diseases and cancer, weight loss, and lowers cholesterol. Buy organic! – Here’s the reason why

Kombucha – Eat more fermented foods which include Kombucha, Yogurt, Kefir, Natto (if you can eat), and choose sourdough if you are going to pick bread. Kombucha information is listed above. My recommendation for yogurt is SO Delicious Coconut milk yogurt PLAIN. 4 oz contains 80 calories and only 8 g sugar.

Nutritional Yeast – contains vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, Folic Acid (Folate), Manganese, Selenium. Most of the women who are low in thyroid often low in Selenium. Vitamin B is very
important for the central nervous system. If you want to get pregnant, you need to take Folic Acid (Folate is the name used as the food source, not from the synthetic chemical compound). It is always best to take supplements made from organic plant-based sources.

Nuts and Seeds – Consume good fats from pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, raw almonds. Flax seeds contain phytoestrogens which mimic estrogen; pumpkin seeds are rich in methionine (essential amino acid). A breakfast suggestion – toast a slice of sprouted grains (Ezekiel) bread and spread with almond butter with roasted flaxseed (available at Trader Joe’s).  Pumpkin seed protein powder is also a great source of protein. Try with fruits, veggies, 1-2 tsp of flaxseeds, red palm, or olive oil in it. A great meal alternative. I use this company.

Olive Oil – like coconut oil, olive oil burns fat nicely in your guts because of its molecules Use Olive oil for salad dressing – it’s a great way to take fat in the body. Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil is best used as a salad dressing with lemon or orange juice.

Red Palm Fruits Oil– a Stable oil used for cooking, salad dressing, and baking. It has been used for many years in South East Asia, South America, and West Africa is where palm trees grow. There are so many benefits.– Okonatur or Jungle Red Palm Fruits Oil. It’s no wonder why people in these countries have significantly suffer from heart-related illnesses…

Salmon – Salmon (wild) is high in omega 3 fish oil, which you need to promote fertility.

Mineral-Rich Foods

Like vitamins, minerals help your body grow and stay healthy. Your body needs minerals to perform different functions, from building healthy bones to transmitting electrical impulses along nerves. In fact, some minerals help maintain a normal heartbeat and make hormones. Since minerals are an essential part of a healthy diet, it is important to learn which foods are good sources of these nutrients.

Potassium     Selenium     Iron     Magnesium     Calcium     Zinc     Chromium     Folate

Potassium –  When potassium level is low, you feel sluggish, your mind is scattered, not yourself. Most likely your iron, and selenium levels are both low as well. A hair tissue analysis test is one of the best ways to find out what’s going on at the cellular level. Food high in potassium are tomatoes, nuts & seeds, prunes, legumes, spinach, bananas, brussels sprouts, broccoli, acorn squash, and other deep yellow vegetables. (Tamie’s Tip – Limit your intake of potassium-rich foods if you have kidney problems)

Selenium – Cold hands and cold feet, losing hair, fatigue, dry skin? Think Selenium! The Top 10 foods containing selenium: Brazil Nuts, Sunflower Seeds, Fish (tuna, halibut, sardines, flounder, salmon), Shellfish (oysters, mussels, shrimp, clams, scallops), Meat (Beef, liver, lamb, pork), Poultry (chicken, turkey), Eggs, Mushrooms (button, crimini, shiitake), Grains (wheat germ, barley, brown rice, oats), Onions. The whole food-based supplement – 1 Brazil nut per day. Dr. Oz show.

Iron– eggs, dark, leafy greens, white beans, lentils, chickpeas, artichokes, buckwheat (no wheat in it), broccoli, black-eyed pea, arugula, kale, bok-choy, raisins. 

Magnesium– The top 10 foods are raw spinach, pumpkin seeds, mackerel, lentils, brown rice, avocados, yogurt, bananas, dried figs, dark chocolate.  (Dr. Oz show)

Calcium – Be sure you are getting enough vitamin D – the body needs this nutrient to absorb calcium. Foods are rich in calcium other than cow milk: kale, oranges, sardines, sesame and sunflower seeds, almonds, salmon, white beans, dried figs, turnip greens, arugula, broccoli.

Zinc – Some whole foods sources of zinc are Organic Beef/Beef Liver, Lima Beans, Organic /Wild Turkey, Chickpeas, Split Peas, Green peas, Raw Cashews/Pecans/Almonds, Organic eggs, Raw Ginger root

Chromium – Sweet craving? You need Chromium. Sweet potato, apple, organic egg, tomato, broccoli

Niacin – 1 cup of peanuts contains 17.6 mg, more than 100% of your daily value of Niacin (Vitamin B-3). I prefer almonds over peanuts to avoid potential mold issues.

Folate – Eat plenty (the synthetic name is Folic Acid) from foods: Folate supports overall growth and development and blood-cell formation and supports normal growth of the fetus. Foods that contain folate are asparagus, black beans, broccoli, carrots, collard greens, citrus fruits, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, lentils, navy beans, pinto beans, soybeans, spinach, and plenty in organ meats. You can get plenty of folic acid from drinking a bottle of “Kombucha” tea you can get from the local whole foods or health foods store or you can make your own. Here’s information you can get starter kits from. If you are trying to get pregnant, make sure you are getting prenatal vitamins to contain 800 mcg of Folate (NOT folic acid) contained.
