This workbook is for anyone who wants to feel empowered with knowledge about their fertility, no matter where you are on your path. Whether you’re just starting to think about having a baby, want to jump-start your journey, or are a meticulous planner who wants to cover all the bases, this is for you. Think of it as a holding hand through the overwhelming world of fertility information. We often refer to “women,” but we warmly welcome men and non-binary individuals to use this workbook. After all, it takes two to tango, and you are both key in this process.

Think of this workbook as your comprehensive, expert-reviewed guide that translates the often confusing science into plain English. We cover key themes like:

• Fertility in Context: The ins and outs of getting pregnant naturally, understanding male fertility, preserving your options, and a no-nonsense overview of Assisted Reproduction Techniques (ART)
• Upgrade Your Body: Actionable guidance on optimizing your diet, understanding key nutrients and hormones, and demystifying fertility-related health tests.
• Upgrade Your Mind: Because your mindset is extremely important, we provide tools to manage stress, work through the rollercoaster of emotions, and nurture a positive outlook.
• Upgrade Your Environment: Clear advice on how to spot and avoid sneaky endocrine-disrupting chemicals in everyday products. (Spoiler: Your favorite scented candle might be on the naughty list.)

• Practical Tools: You’ll also find checklists, a meal plan, journaling spaces, and a list of questions to ask your doctor so you can walk into your appointment feeling like a well-prepared CEO of your own body

Yes, absolutely! Men are more than welcome to use this workbook. While we often refer to “women” for simplicity, the book stresses that men play a pivotal role in the fertility journey. We’ve included male-related information in each chapter and have a dedicated section that summarizes key topics like sperm and semen health, male-related conditions that can impact fertility, and a comprehensive checklist for maintaining male fertility health. We encourage men to use the workbook alone or with a partner, because you are both key in this process.

While there are many resources available, “I am Magic” stands out for several reasons:

• It’s a User-Friendly Entry Point: Many books on fertility can be overly long and scientific. We created this workbook to be an accessible, all-in-one resource that breaks down a mind-boggling amount of information into digestible, actionable summaries.
• It’s Holistic and Empowering: It’s not just about the medical facts. We dedicate entire chapters to upgrading your mind and environment, focusing on stress management, emotional well-being, and creating a positive mindset, which is extremely important. Readers have said it feels like “a best friend helping me to discover these complex topics”.
• It’s Interactive and Practical: This isn’t just a book to read; it’s a tool to use. With checklists, recipes, reflection spaces, and planning templates, it empowers you to create a personalized action plan and take charge of your own journey. It holds your hand and sometimes gives you a soft cuddle.

• It’s Expert-Reviewed: The content was reviewed for medical and scientific accuracy by a psychotherapist, a specialist in gynaecology and obstetrics, and a certified nutritional therapist, giving you confidence in the information provided.

While we, the authors, are not licensed healthcare providers we take accuracy very seriously. We spent hundreds of hours in the library reading and comparing research. We collaborated with a team of amazing medical professionals to ensure all the information is up-to-date and correct. The content has been reviewed for medical and scientific accuracy by Dr. rer. nat. Misa Yamanaka (Psychotherapist), Dr. med. Friederike Bender (Specialist in Gynaecology and Obstetrics), and Audrey Sourroubille Arnold (Certified Nutritional Therapist)

We hear you. That feeling of being overwhelmed is exactly why we created this workbook. It’s designed to be a user-friendly entry point that cuts through the noise of overly scientific books and websites trying to sell you something. We’ve done the heavy lifting of summarizing academic research, medical websites, and other literature to give you to-the-point, practical, and science-based information. As one reader shared, it helps you “make more conscious choices”. The goal is to give you a solid starting point so you can take charge of your fertility with confidence, instead of falling down a 3 AM internet rabbit hole.
