Key Nutrition Concept #1
• Nutrition & other lifestyle changes are a core component of the treatment of a variety of common health problems of women and men prior to conception.
![Page 3: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Key Nutrition Concept #2
• Nutritional and health status before and during the first 2 months after conception influences embryonic development and the risk of complications during pregnancy.

Common Signs & Symptoms of PMS
![Page 7: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
• PDD-severe form of PMS
• Characterized by marked mood swings, depressed mood, irritability, & anxiety
• Physical symptoms:– Breast tenderness– Headache– Joint & muscle pain
![Page 8: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Possible Cause of PMS
• Thought to be related to abnormal serotonin activity following ovulation
• Antidepressants that contain serotonin uptake inhibitors reduce PMS
![Page 9: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
PMS Treatment
• Caffeine intake & PMS– PMS symptoms increase in severity with
increased coffee intake – Risk of severe symptoms 8 times higher with
8–10 cups compared to non-coffee drinkers
• Exercise & stress reduction– Daily physical activity & reducing daily stress
decrease symptoms
![Page 10: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
PMS Treatment
• Magnesium, calcium, vitamins D & B6 supplements– Magnesium—200 mg/day – Calcium—1200 mg/day– Vitamin D—706 IU/day – Vitamin B6—50 to 100 mg/day
![Page 11: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Obesity and Fertility
• Obesity increases likelihood of reproductive health problems
• Obesity rates in U.S.
![Page 12: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Obesity and Fertility
![Page 13: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Obesity and Fertility
• Central body fat & fertility– Central obesity increases time required to
conceive
• Weight loss & fertility– Should be the first fertility therapy for obese
people – Loss of 7 to 22 pounds in overweight women &
100 pounds in massively obese men increases fertility
![Page 14: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Obesity and Fertility
• Diets for Weight Loss– Diets should be healthful, balanced and provide
all required nutrients
– Diets should be planned around foods that correspond to individual food preferences and resources
![Page 15: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Pregnancy after Gastric Bypass Surgery
• In most women and men, after bariatric surgery– Return to normal hormone levels
– Decreased inflammation
– Improved fertility
• Bariatric surgery increases risk for the following deficiencies– Iron, folate, calcium, and vitamins A, B12, and K
• Pregnancy is not recommended during first year after surgery
![Page 16: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Metabolic Syndrome
• Cluster of abnormal metabolic & health indicators• Diagnosed if 3 of 5 conditions exist:
1. Waist circumference:
>40” in men & >35” in women
2. Blood triglyceride ≥150 mg/dL
3. HDL-cholesterol:
<40 mg/dL in men & <50 mg/dL in women
4. Blood pressure >130/85 mm Hg
5. Fasting blood glucose ≥110 mg/dL

Metabolic Syndrome
• Prevalence– 1 in 5 U.S. adults
• Consequences– Increases risk of CVD & type 2 diabetes
• Therapy– Dietary modification– Weight reduction– Exercise
![Page 18: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

A Closer Look at Insulin Resistance
• Insulin stimulates uptake of glucose from blood into cells
• Each cell membrane normally has ~20,000 active insulin receptors that open “doors” for glucose
• Insulin resistant cells only have ~5,000 functioning receptors that lower uptake by cell
• Insulin resistance is a major public health problem
![Page 20: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
A Closer Look at Insulin Resistance
• Risk factors for insulin resistance– Obesity, central obesity, physical inactivity, & small size
at birth
• Insulin resistance associated with
• Polycystic ovary syndrome
• Metabolic syndrome
• Type 2 diabetes
• Gestational diabetes
• Heart disease
![Page 21: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
• 10% of women of childbearing age
• The leading cause of female infertility
• Many with PCOS are obese or have high levels of intra-abdominal fat
• Cause is uncertain– Insulin resistance a possible factor– Appears to have strong genetic component
![Page 22: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Nutritional Management of Women with PCOS
• Primary goal is to increase insulin sensitivity
• Insulin-sensitizing drugs
• Diet recommendations:– Omega-3 fatty acids, whole grains, fruits &
vegetables, regular meals, non-fat dairy, & low-glycemic foods
• Weight loss & exercise improve prognosis
![Page 23: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Disorders of Metabolism
• PKU (phenylketonuria)– Elevated blood phenylalanine due to lack of
phenylalanine hydroxylase
• Nutrition management for women with PKU– Low-phenylalanine diet
![Page 24: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Disorders of Metabolism
• Celiac disease– Autoimmune disease in people with genetic
susceptibility to protein gliadin found in gluten component of wheat, rye, barley, which causes malabsorption & flattening of intestinal lining
• Prevalence in U.S. is ~1 in 133
• Linked to infertility in some women & men
![Page 25: Chapter 3 Preconception Nutrition Conditions and Interventions](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061605/5681315b550346895d97d0c3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Nutritional Management of Celiac Disease
• Eliminate gluten in diet
• Look for “gluten free” labels
• Gluten found in many non-grain foods like hot dogs, deli meats, supplements, chips, bouillon, salad dressing, etc.
• Correction of vitamin & mineral deficiencies

• Insert Case Study 3.2

Herbal Remedies for Fertility-Related Problems
• Chaste tree berry extract—may relieve PMS symptoms
• Evening primrose oil—not effective for PMS relief
• Coenzyme Q10 –increases sperm motility
• Bee propolis—increases pregnancy rates in women with mild endometriosis
