Women who have problems getting pregnant often face a long, expensive ordeal, but for some, the solution could be as easy as a change in diet.

A Davis infertility clinic is using nutrition and diet modification to help produce babies and health benefits at the same time.

Kim and Chris Christensen have been trying for several years to have baby the old fashioned way. So when Kim's doctor said she would improve her odds of getting pregnant by cutting out starches and sugar, Christensen was game.

"It's working real well. I'm actually pregnant ... 10 weeks pregnant," she said.

Doctors have known for a decade that carbohydrates and sugars produce elevated insulin levels, which affect fertility.
