Should be renamed"EVERYTHING you need to know to get pregnant"! October 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is brilliant. The author read over 400 books and used the information, which is largely research based and all referenced. The diet is the major recommendation but there are all sorts of ther factors which are really interesting, ranging from exposure to light and sun - both day and night! Research has been done on so many different areas, but this information just is not widely publicised. It's so annoying to find all sorts of things which you've been doing in ignorance which negatively affect your fertility.
I found this book easy to read, well explained and thorough. She goes into various health conditions which could unknowingly affect your ability to conceive, and in a constructive way - giving options and suggestions for rectifying or reducing problems. She also goes into herbs and alternative options a little, but its clear that they are alternative as they are not backed up with research, so you can decide how far you want to go. Overall FANTASTIC and i wish i'd had it a year ago!

Not only to fertility, but to diet. This book was written by a barrister for 17 years who made a lifestyle change to become a nutritionist. The author recommends organic, raw, vegan food and includes some superb recipes for true healthy living. She also gives lots of tips on what to avoid and why - microwave ovens, electrical clocks by your bed, cleaning products etc. If this sounds boring - it isn't. Sarah has a racy, clear writing stye interspersed with humour and anecdotes. It's truly a life-changing book for the individual, the family and the planet (lots of green tips too), not to mention the babies that are born as a result of the mother following her recommendations. My own research has found out congruent dietary benefits and many people have benefited from following Sarah's dietary recommendations, and I detail some of them in Travelling Magically: How to Turn Your Journey into a Life-changing Experience, which talks about, among other things, how changing your diet can improve your experience of travelling and your life.
The right blend of Science and Simplicity August 4, 2008

A fantastic book! It has all the information and facts you need and is written in a simple easy to understand manner with just the right dose of humour. Even if you aren't planning on having a baby right now, it's well worth following at least some of the suggestions in the book to keep your options open for further down the line.... you never know.
detailed content and very entertaining June 12, 2008

This is by far and away the best fertility book I've read, because of its great combination of content and tone. It covers everything (and more!) - well researched with plenty of references; and it is also well written and had me frequently laughing out loud - unusual for books covering this topic! This book alongside Toni Weschler's book - the two are complimentary - pretty much make a complete library.
Great Reference Book for Healthy Living and Fertility June 10, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is a great book for anyone wanting more information on how to increase their fertility. Most of the other books and websites I have seen on this topic repeat the same limited information. This book includes alot of new material and tips that I have never read about or seen before and its all collated and summarised in a very easy to read format.
I really liked the anti ageing and general wellness tips also. This book is a good reference generally for women (and men) on how to live and eat to increase their general health. Sarah's sense of humour and writing style is very easy to read but it backed up by lots of scientific research so it comes across as extremely well researched and credible material.
I highly recommend this book to all women thinking about fertility and especially to women over 30, even those not thinking about having a baby right now.
