Fit For Fertility Review
What You Should Know
Fit for Fertility was developed by British gynecologist Michael Dooley as a health program for couples attempting to have children. Dr. Dooley operates the Poundberry Clinic in England as a facility designed to implement his technique. The program incorporates diet, exercise, alternative medicine, and physician oversight to maximize fertility. Although the program can be used by couples taking fertility medication as well as those trying to conceive naturally, Fit for Fertility is primarily intended to be a holistic approach to conception that would negate the need for fertility drugs.

Product Features
Fit for Fertility uses a 10 step approach to maximize a coupleís chances of conceiving. Dr. Dooley places special emphasis on diet, exercise, alternative medicine and stress management to promote health in both men and women in order to increase a womanís chances of becoming pregnant.
Fit for Fertility operates under the premise that changes in diet can produce significant differences in womenís fertility, and that this is the most important step a woman can take towards that goal. The program advocates small changes toward a more holistic diet rather than drastic overhauls or restrictions in eating.
Exercise and alternative medicine are given secondary roles in the program as a means to promote overall health and thereby increase fertility. No evidence is provided as to the effectiveness of specific alternative approaches or of Fit for Fertility as a whole.
Pro’s
- Fit for Fertility advocates nutrition and exercise as a means to better overall health.
- The author is a physician.
- The price is affordable for most people.
Con’s
- Little independent objective information is available about the effectiveness of Fit for Fertility.
- The programís website does not address the possibility of underlying medical problems, although it does advocate physician oversight.
- No weight loss claims are made; the program is not intended to be primarily a weight loss program.
- Fit for Fertility advocates many avenues of alternative and complementary medicine which have little or no clinical study or backing.
Conclusion
Fit for Fertility provides sound advice on nutrition and exercise with the goal of increasing fertility in women and aiding couples who have had difficulty becoming pregnant. It encourages couples to take charge of personal health and well being as opposed to relying on medical intervention. However, little information is available on the programís effectiveness.
Fit for Fertility is not intended to be primarily a weight loss program and makes no claims about long term weight management. In addition, it advocates alternative forms of medicine which may or may not produce the desired result in individual cases.
