Celery takes a whole body approach to your fertility. That's why we've got all the players on our team
Fertility educator: there for you
At Celery Health, you’ll have a fertility nurse educator guiding you through the Celery pathway, offering valuable insights into your body. This extra support acts as your stand-by fertility manual, touching base at the very beginning to explain concepts like AMH, cycle tracking, and ovulation and helping you to navigate each fertility step.
Whole body fertility health matters
A whole-body approach to fertility means understanding that physical, emotional, nutritional and genetic factors all have a role. At Celery, we bring these elements together into a personalised plan that reflects your unique biology and lifestyle. Rather than addressing each factor in isolation, our team works collaboratively to deliver clear, holistic guidance that supports your fertility goals.

Nutrition: food for life
Nutrition plays a crucial role in reproductive health by regulating hormones, your menstrual cycle, and overall well-being. It’s also essential for a healthy pregnancy. A diet lacking in key antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins can affect egg and sperm quality, ovulation, and the uterine environment. Understanding how nutrition impacts chronic conditions like endometriosis and PCOS is key for long-term reproductive health.
Celery has partnered with nutritional experts specialising in reproductive health to ensure you’re in optimal shape before your journey to conception or egg freezing.
Mind-body-ovaries: the connection
Stress, poor sleep, and unhealthy lifestyle habits can really affect both male and female reproductive health. Managing mental health, anxiety, and depression is important for everyone, but it’s even more crucial when you’re working toward regular cycles or baby plans. For men, personal stress, alcohol, and vaping/ smoking can impact sperm quality and performance too.
The good news? There are ways to improve it! Mindfulness, meditation, CBT and counselling can help reduce stress and boost mental well-being. Plus, prioritising good sleep and making healthier lifestyle choices can increase your chances of success.
Mapping your genetic destiny
During the preconception or planning phase, genetic carrier screening is becoming an increasingly user-friendly and important tool. As the cost of extensive screening improves, this resource is now more readily accessible to more people. It’s also important for those considering donor relationships.
Should an unexpected result come back, genetic counselling remains vital to help understand any potential genetic risks you may have inherited. Genetic counsellors review your fertility or pregnancy history, along with your family medical history (and your partners) as well as your screening results. This means you can make more informed decisions about your results and your family planning options.
For those with known genetic conditions or a family history of genetic disorders, genetic counselling helps clarify risks and explore other options – like IVF with pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT).
Sleep. Your secret superpower
Sleep plays a crucial role in our overall health. Quality rest helps regulate hormones, supports ovulation, helps maintain a healthy weight and can even improve play a role in sperm quality. Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to hormone imbalances, irregular cycles, and difficulty conceiving. Prioritising good sleep (ideally 7-9 hours a night) supports both mental and physical well-being, setting the stage for better fertility outcomes.
Our approach to quality sleep
We understand the impact of sleep on reproductive health. Our team can guide you in creating healthy sleep habits to help regulate hormones, improve ovulation and boost overall fertility. From stress management techniques to lifestyle adjustments, we offer personalised strategies to improve your sleep quality and support your fertility journey. Let Celery Health help you optimise both your sleep and reproductive health for the best possible outcomes.
FAQs

Discover how tailored nutritional plans can boost general wellness and may improve some of the factors affecting egg and sperm health too. A balanced diet rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants supports reproductive function.

During the preconception or prenatal phase, genetic carrier screening can have an enormous impact on passing on inheritable conditions as well as potentially revealing conditions that may affect fertility. Celery Health provides genetic carrier screening through our partner clinic as well as helping you to decipher results. We believe this is an important and often overlooked part of the preconception screening pathway and we want to change that. Our partner genetic counsellors review your screening outcomes as well as your family medical history (as well as your partners). By assessing the likelihood of genetic conditions one can make informed decision-making regarding family planning options.
In cases of known genetic conditions or a family history of genetic disorders, genetic counselling aids in comprehending the risks and discussing available options. These may include in vitro fertilisation (IVF) with pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT).
By addressing the varied aspects of health, a holistic approach can enhance the effectiveness of fertility treatments. It can also mean you are psychologically prepared for the fertility journey ahead of you, no matter what the picture.
