Pulling Down the Moon

Rice Protein Shakes and Phytonutrient Powder

May 15, 2017

For the month of May, we wanted to give you a little more insight on two high quality supplements that might be helpful additions to your fertility treatment plan. Our Phytonutrient Powder and Rice Protein Shake are free or artificial colorings, flavorings, and preservatives and are triple certified for Good Manufacturing Practices. These supplements have all been through Independent testing of each batch of raw materials for contaminants, PCBs, dioxins, and heavy metals.



Our Phytonutrient Powder is a 100% certified organic fruit and vegetable powder rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which may help reduce inflammation and prevent free radical damage to eggs and sperm. It’s a great option if you have trouble getting in your daily fruit and vegetables or to provide extra antioxidant support. We recommend taking 1-2 teaspoons daily. The Phytonutrient Powder is gluten free and vegetarian. It is delicious in water or in any liquid you prefer. You could even add it to your morning smoothie.


Why not get that nutritional boost in the morning after the body has been fasting and repairing during your sleep. The Pulling Down the Moon Rice Protein Shake is a great way to get that much-needed nutrient boost of protein, vitamin and minerals, while also being gentle on the belly. The sweetness and electrolyte balance will replenish your system to help carry you through the day. Add some of those veggies and fruits lying around and press a button to blend!


Our Pulling Down the Moon nutritionists have created some smoothie recipes that are not only nutritious, but they are filled with specific nutrients that support fertility. The recipes below experiment with almond milk and coconut water as the smoothie base. To add extra nutrient punch to these shakes, we suggest add-ins like Probiotic Powder and PhytoNutrient Powder. Please note, too, that these smoothies do not use crushed ice. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, a fertility diet does not emphasize cold foods.

Tips for Spring Restoration

February 18, 2025
Spring arrives next month, and with it, more cold days (perhaps even snow)! But March also brings the promise of new life. We love this time of year. The ground starts to smell fresh and ripe. Small green buds begin to swell from the earth reaching up, up, up. Birds chatter in the trees. The sun stays in the sky a little longer each day. After a long, cold winter of hibernation, spring restores nature’s beauty. Spring inspires us to restore ourselves, too and these self-care techniques will lead you to restoration of mind, body and spirit. Hydrate. Drink a glass or two of water first thing in the morning. Keeping yourself hydrated helps boost your mood, improves brain power and protects you against disease. Make a gratitude list. Spending just a few minutes a day writing down what you are grateful for can dramatically shift your day. The more gratitude you have, the more open to abundance you become. Breathe. Set aside a few minutes each day to practice breathing. There are so many benefits! Among them, diaphragmatic breathing alleviates stress, reduces pain, strengthens internal muscles and moves blood to organs and tissues. If you’re not sure how to get started, try our Breathe & Restore Workshop or schedule an Soothe the Senses: Calm the Nervous System Fertility Enhancing Massage™ to receive some hands-on breath work coaching. Stretch. Five to 10 minutes of stretching in the morning increases energy levels, enhances circulation, reduces injury and centers your mind. Even better is a regular yoga practice. Get started by downloading the Fully Fertile App today to give you a jump start! Our next Signature Yoga for Fertility Series begins on Monday, February 24th to reduce anxiety and stress by 20% or more in just six weeks. Eliminate something from your diet that isn’t serving you. I nstead of overhauling your entire diet, start by taking out one food that doesn’t nourish your body. Replace it with a different item that supports your desire for restoration. Learn even more by working with scheduling a nutrition consult ! We look forward to seeing you virtually or in-person at one of our centers to help you get started. Many wishes for a beautiful spring!
