This July, the Hotel Del Coronado will host hundreds of medical professionals from around the world for the 31st annual In Vitro Fertilizations and Embryo Transfer conference.

There is gathering evidence that introducing healthy lifestyle measures such as regular exercise and a healthy diet can markedly improve IVF outcomes.

As the egg matures, it grows enormously in size and the number of mitochondria (the tiny batteries supplying energy) markedly increases so that each cell of the embryo will have enough until the blastocyst stage when they again start to replicate. With age, these tiny batteries start to run low on power, resulting in less energy being available for these critical functions.
