We love talking about fertility
Lily and Lisa regularly offer interviews and have appeared extensively on podcasts. All you need to do is decide which one of us (or both!) you want to have on your show.
What topic(s) do you want to focus on?
Although we can both speak to all topics covered in the book, we have individual areas of expertise. That means you can expect more detail and data on specific topics with one of us versus the other, as outlined below:
Interview Lisa
Interview Lisa if you’d like to focus primarily on the menstrual cycle, fertility awareness, reproductive hormones, and issues with hormonal contraception — and how all of these tie into fertility as a whole.
Interview Lily
Interview Lily if you’d like to focus primarily on nutrition for fertility, including how specific foods and nutrients can improve the chances of conception and a healthy pregnancy.

Real Food for Fertility will help you understand exactly why you must start using food to optimize your cycle and hormonal health long before you want to conceive.

"As a dietitian who advocates for real food, I enthusiastically endorse Real Food for Fertility to both men and women preparing for pregnancy."
Humans have known for thousands of years the profound impacts of food on fertility and the health of our future babies. People often come to me for recommendations on how to eat to prepare for a healthy pregnancy, but up until now, there really hasn’t been a comprehensive book on the subject. Real Food for Fertility provides the evidence behind an ancestral approach to preconception nutrition. As a dietitian who advocates for real food, I enthusiastically endorse Real Food for Fertility to both men and women preparing for pregnancy.

"Lily is a powerful advocate for truth in a time when misinformation about nutrition, especially in regard to fertility, runs rampant."
Lily is a powerful advocate for truth in a time when misinformation about nutrition, especially in regard to fertility, runs rampant. Brilliant and with the credentials to match, her no-B.S. approach to nutrition will change — and maybe even save — your life … and improve your chances of conception! Listen closely to what she has to say.

"It’s a must-read for anyone looking to improve their fertility as well as their supporting practitioners."
Lily and Lisa have done it again! Real Food for Fertility is now my fertility bible in practice, right next to Real Food for Pregnancy and The Fifth Vital Sign. All pseudoscience and outdated dietary recommendations for fertility have been busted in this book. The pages are already highlighted and worn in my copy. It’s a must-read for anyone looking to improve their fertility as well as their supporting practitioners.

As someone who has devoted my life to empowering women with practical knowledge about their bodies, I so appreciate the way Lily and Lisa have already contributed immeasurably to the field of women’s health and fertility. So I’m not surprised that they’ve done it again. Even though this book is impeccably researched and packed with scientific principles, it is an eminently approachable guide for women wanting to consciously prepare their bodies for the best possible chance for a healthy pregnancy and head start for their baby.

"I highly recommend this book to my clients with fertility, pregnancy, or postpartum nutrient deficiencies because the recipes are so good, too! "
Real Food for Fertility is one of the best books I have read on fertility nutrition. It goes beyond basic meal plans to helping you to personalize your nourishment based on your unique needs, deficiencies, and fertility struggles. It is strongly evidence-based and includes preconception lifestyle, tracking, and other fertility optimization tools (for men, too, which is rarely included in other books!) I highly recommend this book to my clients with fertility, pregnancy, or postpartum nutrient deficiencies because the recipes are so good, too!

"I believe this book has the potential to dramatically change the current trajectory of fertility issues for the better and I don’t say that lightly."
To say that this is the most comprehensive and well-researched book on fertility that I have read would be an understatement! As a Midwife I already refer all my clients to Lily and Lisa’s previous books. So it is no surprise that these two powerhouse women combined their expertise to create such a unique resource that goes far beyond what is currently taught in the fertility space. Real Food for Fertility is a book that is needed now more than ever. It’s a breath of fresh air to see such comprehensive information provided on both female and male fertility all in one resource. I believe this book has the potential to dramatically change the current trajectory of fertility issues for the better and I don’t say that lightly.

"The two authors have produced a remarkable book and I recommend it highly."
Real Food for Fertility will become THE reference book for men and women planning pregnancy and for all their conscientious health care professionals. Having spent 36 years as an OB-GYN and fertility specialist, I know firsthand that fertility’s greatest ally is nutrition. This highly readable and referenced book emphasizes nutrient-dense foods to optimize the stores of macronutrients, micronutrients, and minerals so desperately needed to enhance fertility and nourish mother and baby throughout pregnancy and lactation. In keeping with recent nutrition science, a number of fertility and nutrition myths are dispelled. The two authors have produced a remarkable book and I recommend it highly.

OB-GYN and fertility specialist (retired), and author of Our Children, Our Legacy
"Lily’s books are the ones that I recommend to every young woman who seeks to get pregnant and have a healthy baby."
Lily’s books are the ones that I recommend to every young woman who seeks to get pregnant and have a healthy baby. Despite widespread beliefs that a low-fat, Mediterranean, or plant-based diet is best, this well-researched, rigorous book will convince you that for optimal fertility, a nutrient-dense diet that includes animal foods is truly the best option.
