Yes, this complements it + improves success odds
🔬 Here’s why it matters even during IVF:
1. IVF still relies on your body’s foundation.
Even with medical support, IVF outcomes depend heavily on the quality of your eggs, the balance of your hormones, and the health of your uterine environment. These are directly impacted by lifestyle, nutrition, and toxin exposure.
2. Toxin exposure can reduce IVF success rates.
Studies show that high levels of endocrine disruptors (like BPA and phthalates) are linked to lower egg quality, fewer embryos, and reduced implantation rates — even in IVF.
3. Antioxidants may improve embryo quality.
Antioxidants help combat oxidative stress, which is known to damage eggs and embryos. A nutrient-rich, antioxidant-heavy diet may lead to better embryo development and higher success rates.
4. Your hormones still matter.
Even though hormones are regulated externally during IVF (e.g., with FSH injections), your body's baseline hormone function — thyroid, adrenals, insulin sensitivity — can still influence how well you respond to treatment and how your uterine lining develops.
