A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Fertility-Friendly Home After 40
This brief yet comprehensive guide walks you through every room of your home, helping you create a healthier environment by making informed choices about the products and everyday practices you use. It’s packed with practical, evidence-based information in an easy-to-read format that you can return to whenever you need quick answers or guidance.
In our homes and everyday lives, we’re exposed to environmental chemicals through our food, water, air, personal care products, cookware, household cleaning products, furniture, and more. A growing body of research suggests that many of these exposures may influence fertility, hormone health, pregnancy, and long-term health.
This guide outlines the steps I took to create a healthier home while preparing for pregnancy in my forties and the changes my husband and I made before trying to conceive. One of the first things we did was evaluate our home environment because everything we eat, drink, put on our skin, and breathe contributes to our overall environmental exposure. I wanted to ensure the place where we spent most of our time supported our health and fertility goals.
Reducing unnecessary environmental exposures is one important part of preparing your body for pregnancy while creating a healthier environment for your future family. Research has found that umbilical cord blood can contain hundreds of environmental chemicals, highlighting that exposure begins long before birth. Studies have also associated exposure to certain environmental chemicals with reproductive and developmental concerns, as well as childhood conditions such as allergies, asthma, and autoimmune diseases. The encouraging news is that research suggests reducing everyday environmental exposures can lower the levels of some chemicals in the body in a relatively short period of time.
Inside this guide, I’ll show you where to focus first, which changes have the greatest impact, and how to create a healthier home without feeling overwhelmed.

A step by step guide to creating a home free of toxics to enhance fertility at age 40 & beyond
This brief, yet comprehensive guide walks you through each room of your home, helping you create a fertility-friendly environment by providing healthier alternatives to the practices and products you may be using. It is jam-packed with powerful, science-backed information in an easy-to-read format that you can return to on a regular basis to quickly get the information you need to improve your health and fertility.
In our homes and everyday lives, we are exposed to toxic chemicals through food, water, air, personal care products, beauty products, cookware, and household cleaning products. When these chemicals build up in our bodies over time, they can increase the risk of infertility, miscarriage, and birth defects. This guide outlines the steps I took to create a healthy home environment to enhance my fertility in my forties and be able to have healthy babies at 44 and 46 years old. When my husband and I were ready to start a family, the first thing we did to prepare our bodies was to assess our home environment. Since our bodies (and hormones) react to everything we eat, drink, put on our skin, and inhale, I wanted to ensure that the place where we spend the majority of our time was fertility-friendly.
When we reduce our daily toxic exposure, we not only increase our chances of conception and supporting a healthy pregnancy, but we are also creating a healthier future for our unborn baby. Several studies have shown that umbilical cord blood generally contains almost 300 different environmental toxins! These toxic chemicals are linked to health conditions affecting kids, such as allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases, and autism. The great news is that studies also show that by doing things like switching to non-toxic products and moving to a primarily organic diet, we can reduce our toxic load after only a few days.
