Stop cheersing with alcohol š«£ seriously.
And start cheersing with oysters!
Comment 2026Pregnancy for our top preconception *must-know* tips!
ā¬ļø Unpopular fertility opinion, I know. So letās just make it super unpopular and put it all on the table - yes, this means for both mom AND dad.
Cutting out alocohol is probably the most poorly received preconception advice I give (donāt shoot the messenger).
Alcohol wreaks havoc on hormones in so many ways. Disrupts sleep, messes with blood sugar, destroys metabolism, and doesnāt actually help you unwind the way most people think.
Now entering the conversation⦠mocktails and sober curious zero proof cocktails. Much better option if youāre planning to get pregnant this year. Buuuuut, they usually still spike blood glucose by being very high in sugar (and often artificial dyes and flavors, too) and unstable blood sugar is one of the top issues we see with hormone imbalances & fertility challenges (alongside toxic burden).
So if youāre really serious about becoming parents this year, vote with your fork! Oysters are fertility superfoods, they are amazingly nutrient dense, and are honestly delicious (you can order the cooked instead of raw if you canāt get over the texture). Whether itās opting for oysters, or just choosing to ditch the booze, lifestyle changes will give you way more ROI on your path to parenthood than even the best supplement stack will when itās being stacked on top of toxic lifestyle habits.
