There are many reasons to pick up a cookbook about fertility. Maybe you’re
trying to get pregnant now, maybe you’ve struggled with fertility challenges in the past
and are looking to make some changes, maybe you’re in the throes of fertility treatments
and need more guidance on how to nourish your body, maybe a loved one of yours is
having difficulty conceiving and you want to know the best ways to support them, maybe
you are a same sex couple and want healthier eggs or sperm, maybe you have gone
through one or more miscarriages and need a fresh perspective on how to approach your
fertility, maybe you’re in your 40’s and want to do everything possible to optimize your
health and fertility now or maybe you want to know about how to best preserve your
fertility and help your body now for a time in the future when you are ready to conceive.
Whatever your reason for picking up this book, I honor your desire to know more and
from my grateful heart to yours, I thank you for choosing my book.
I am Aimee Raupp and I want to help you improve your health and optimize your
fertility because I know that fertility struggles suck. Feeling disempowered and in doubt
of your body and its state of health is emotionally draining. Not knowing where to turn
to get help can feel lonely. Feeling overwhelmed by worry over your ability to conceive
when you want to is paralyzing. Being told by your doctor that your options are limited
and your chances of conception are slim feels harrowing. It is for those reasons and more
that I wrote this book. I want to inspire hope in your heart and remind you of the power
you have over your health and fertility. With The Yes, You Can Get Pregnant Cookbook

it is my mission to show you that food and mindfulness, or as I call it, mindful nutrition,

Introduction
As I write this introduction to The Yes, You Can Get Pregnant Cookbook, I am 35
weeks pregnant, sipping on some homemade bone broth and feeling incredibly grateful.
At 40 years of age, my partner (who is 44) and I conceived naturally on our second
month of trying. Over my decade of clinical experience working with women who are
trying to conceive, I know how fortunate I am. I am honored to say that as a practitioner
of Traditional Oriental Medicine (TOM), a five thousand year old medical system that
originated in China as a natural healing method, I have helped hundreds of women
achieve a healthy, happy, successful pregnancy. Through using the modalities of TOM
like acupuncture and Chinese herbs along with lifestyle and dietary changes I guide
women to optimal health and fertility.
When I got pregnant naturally and easily at 40 and it became even clearer to me
how important the work I do is. Too many women are trying and struggling to conceive.
Too many women are losing sleep over their age and their fertility. Too many women
are anxious over the quality of their eggs and how many they have left. Too many
women are seeking and not finding the help and direction they need. Because of this, I
am on a mission to help women optimize their health and fertility so that they can get
pregnant when they want to, even in their 40’s.
I know you picked up this book because you are looking for help conceiving. This
book will do that and more; it will help you improve your health spiritually and
nutritionally so that you can regain hope and optimize your health and fertility. The Yes,
You Can Get Pregnant Cookbook is more than just a cookbook—it’s a roadmap into the

believe on some level that you can influence your health and your fertility through food
and nourishment, through living the mindful nutrition way.
To reiterate: mindful nutrition is a conscious way of life that is focused on
cooking and eating fertility-enhancing and nutrient dense foods while living in a present
and grateful state of mind. So, what do I really mean by that and how can it help you get
pregnant?
To better understand, let’s first break down the words mindful and nutrition so
you know where I’m coming from.

What you can eat is lots of animal protein, fat, veggies and some fruit. Eat more
cooked food than raw food. Be sure to love and appreciate your food and the
nourishment it provides. Make sure that all meats and animal products are pastured or

The Recipes
Bone Broths
(*these recipes are adapted from the book, Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Good broth will resurrect the dead,” says a South American proverb. Bone broth
is a cure-all in traditional households and the magic ingredient in classic gourmet
cuisine, stock or broth made from bones of chicken, fish and beef builds strong
bones, assuages sore throats, nurtures the sick, puts vigor in the step and sparkle in
love life–so say grandmothers, midwives and healers.”

Chicken Stock
Ingredients:
1 whole free-range chicken or 2 to 3 pounds of bony chicken parts, such as necks, backs,
breastbones and wings*

2 carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped

chickens will not produce stock that gels.
