🍠 Maple Roasted Sweet Potato & Walnut Salad

🧡 Why It’s Fertility-Friendly
This dish is loaded with nutrients that boost s***m count, motility, and DNA integrity:
• Sweet potatoes → beta-carotene + vitamin C = powerful antioxidants
• Walnuts → rich in omega-3s and arginine for healthy s***m membranes
• Spinach → folate for DNA protection
• Pumpkin seeds → zinc for testosterone and s***m quality
• Maple dressing → a natural, anti-inflammatory touch of sweetness

🥗 Ingredients (serves 2–3)
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• Pinch sea salt
• 2 cups baby spinach
• ½ cup toasted walnuts
• 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
• ¼ cup dried cranberries
• Optional: crumbled goat cheese

🍁 Maple Dressing
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• ½ tsp Dijon mustard
• Pinch black pepper

🔥 Directions
1. Roast the sweet potatoes:
Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Toss cubes with olive oil, cinnamon, and salt. Roast 25 minutes or until golden and soft.
2. Make the dressing:
Whisk olive oil, maple syrup, ACV, Dijon, and pepper until smooth.
3. Assemble:
In a bowl, layer spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and cranberries. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently. Add goat cheese if using.

🌰 Fertility Tip
Walnuts and pumpkin seeds together provide a perfect zinc-to-omega-3 pairing, a key combo for improving s***m count, motility, and morphology.

What To Do With All That Halloween Candy (Now That It’s Over)👻

So… the candy stash is calling your name from the kitchen counter.

Step away from the candy guilt! You’re allowed to enjoy it 🎃

Here’s how to handle it, guilt-free and hormone-friendly!

1️⃣ Pick your favourites: Enjoy a few pieces intentionally, the ones you *really* love. (It’s not about perfection!)

2️⃣ Pair with protein: Balance the sugar spike by having it after a meal with some protein or healthy fats.

3️⃣ Freeze it: Pop chocolates into the freezer for future baking or portioned treats when the craving hits.

4️⃣ Get creative: Use leftover candy in trail mix for hikes, sprinkle bits into yogurt bark, or donate unopened candy to a local shelter.

5️⃣ Reset and re-balance: The day after Halloween isn’t for “detoxing”, it’s for hydration, real meals, and getting your blood sugar (and energy) back on track.

You can enjoy the fun and keep your wellness goals on track. It’s all about mindful choices, not restriction. 💛

Which candy is hardest for you to resist? For me it’s Coffee Crisp!

🕯️ For Those Struggling This Halloween…

Halloween can be harder than it looks.

Behind the cute costumes, family photos, and pumpkin patches, this season can be a quiet reminder of the little ghosts of what we hoped for by now.

If you’re:
🖤 Avoiding trick-or-treaters because it hurts a little too much
🖤 Skipping the pumpkin carving because it feels like one more “family” activity you’re not part of
🖤 Smiling through the photos while your heart aches inside

Please know this, you’re not alone!

You’re allowed to feel the sadness, to opt out, or to create your own version of the night that feels gentler.

Maybe that means:
🕯️ Turning off the porch light and curling up with a cozy blanket and your favourite movie (Hocus Pocus, anyone??)
🍁 Planning a mini self-care ritual instead - tea, journaling, or a warm bath
💌 Reaching out to a friend who “gets it”

This Halloween, give yourself permission to skip the masks, emotional ones included. 🧡

Not all Halloween treats have to come in a wrapper 👻

If you’re looking to offer something a little different this year (whether for food sensitivities, dental health, your own calorie sanity, or just to mix it up), try one of these candy-free options that still make trick-or-treaters (and you) smile!

1️⃣ Stickers or temporary tattoos: these are just as fun as chocolate without the sugar high.

2️⃣ Mini bubbles: perfect for all ages and zero sugar rush.

3️⃣ Glow sticks or bracelets: safe, fun, and help keep kiddos visible at night.

4️⃣ Halloween-themed pencils or erasers: a hit with school-aged trick-or-treaters and for those of us who are always looking for a writing utensil.

5️⃣ Play-Doh or slime cups: messy fun without the sugar crash.

6️⃣ Mini snack packs: like pretzels, popcorn, or fruit leather for a balanced bite for all ages that you won’t mind having leftovers of.

7️⃣ Plantable seed paper: a fun eco-friendly surprise for all!

🎃 A candy-free bowl doesn’t mean a boring one, just a creative one! Plus, it’s great for after when trying to avoid excess sugar.

What’s going in your candy bowl this year? 🍬 or 🎨?

Pumpkin, sage, and fertility magic in one cozy bowl.

This creamy risotto is a fall favourite packed with beta-carotene, healthy fats, and steady energy carbs to keep your hormones happy through the season. It’s big time fertility-friendly comfort food. Save this for your next date night in, your ovaries will thank you.

Pumpkin Sage Risotto

Serves: 4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

* 1 Tbsp avocado oil
* 1 small onion, finely chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 cup arborio rice
* 4 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth, warmed
* 1 cup pumpkin purée
* 2 Tbsp fresh sage, chopped
* ¼ cup grated parmesan or nutritional yeast (optional)
* Salt & pepper to taste

Optional toppings: toasted pumpkin seeds, drizzle of olive oil, or a poached egg for protein boost

Method:
1. Sauté aromatics: In a large skillet, heat avocado oil. Add onion and cook until translucent. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
2. Toast the rice: Add arborio rice, stirring for 1–2 minutes until slightly translucent around the edges.
3. Deglaze: Pour in 1/2 cup of broth and stir until mostly absorbed.
4. Build the risotto: Add warm broth ½ cup at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each addition to absorb before adding more (this takes about 20 minutes).
5. Add pumpkin: Stir in pumpkin purée and sage. Cook 3–5 more minutes until creamy.
6. Finish: Stir in parmesan or nutritional yeast, adjust seasoning, and top with pumpkin seeds or a poached egg if desired.

Fertility Nutrition Note:
This dish balances complex carbs for steady blood sugar, healthy fats for hormone synthesis, and pumpkin’s antioxidant power to support egg quality. Zinc from pumpkin seeds and protein from eggs make it a full hormone-nourishing meal, while a drizzle of olive oil is anti-inflammatory and in keeping with a Mediterranean diet.

Remember, this does not replace medical advice. Check with your healthcare provider before making any dietary changes.
