Fork-First FertilityDiet and Miscarriage: What the Research Has Found
Fork-First Fertility curates peer-reviewed research on fertility and food and builds personalised fertility food plans backed by the evidence.
The research on miscarriage can feel both urgent and inadequate. Most miscarriages result from chromosomal abnormalities that are not influenced by diet. That is the honest starting point, and it matters.
Within that reality, the research does identify nutritional factors associated with recurrent pregnancy loss and with the conditions, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and hormonal imbalance, that may contribute to some losses. Folate status, omega-3 intake, antioxidant levels, and overall dietary quality appear in the literature as factors associated with pregnancy outcomes, particularly in women with recurrent miscarriage or underlying conditions.
The evidence in the studies below suggests that nutritional status is one modifiable factor among many. Fork-First takes this research into consideration carefully and specifically, in the larger context of a woman's overall physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being.

The Fork-First assessment looks at your specific situation, taking into account your physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being, and makes suggestions of foods to eat and foods to avoid that map to your specific circumstances.
