How long should we prepare for before trying to conceive?
It takes three months to produce both a batch of sperm and to mature an egg, so this is the minimum amount of time we want to prep for conception. This window allows enough time for important changes to take effect, ensuring your body has the nutrients it needs for a healthy pregnancy. By focusing on a personalised fertility nutrition plan, we can optimise your chances of conceiving during this time.
I have had multiple miscarriages. Can you still help?
Yes, absolutely. Experiencing repeated baby loss is incredibly difficult, and my heart goes out to you. I have helped many women who have experienced multiple miscarriages. Through tailored nutrition and lifestyle support, we’ll focus on nourishing your body and identifying any areas where extra support may be needed. While every situation is unique, many clients have found renewed hope and positive outcomes after working together. I’m here to support you through this journey with compassion and expertise.
My partner has been diagnosed with male infertility. Can you help?
Male infertility is a common issue, affecting up to 50% of couples facing fertility challenges. The good news is that nutrition and lifestyle changes can have a significant impact. We’ll focus on optimising your partner’s diet – incorporating key nutrients that support sperm quality and motility – and lifestyle, working on everything from stress management to environmental toxins.
I’ve been told we have to go down the IVF route. Can you help me prepare?
Absolutely – this is my bread and butter. While IVF is a highly effective treatment for many couples, nutrition and lifestyle changes can improve your chances of success. Optimal health can improve egg and sperm quality, support hormone balance and enhance overall wellbeing during the treatment process. We’ll work together to create a bespoke plan, enabling you to approach IVF with confidence and a sense of empowerment. I’ll be with you every step of the way.
We have had so many medical tests. What else can you do?
Going through endless medical tests without getting answers is exhausting. Instead, using my signature method, we will explore your health from a holistic perspective, addressing areas that may have been overlooked. I work with laboratories that offer tests which go far deeper than standard GP testing, often providing the missing piece of the puzzle. Functional testing is an incredible way to get answers as to why you might be struggling with your fertility. Tests I frequently use in clinic include bloodwork, vaginal and seminal microbiome testing, thyroid testing, gut microbiome testing, epigenetic testing, semen analysis and DNA fragmentation.
I’m using an egg donor. Can I still work with you?
Of course. When you’re using an egg donor, fertility nutrition plays a vital role in supporting your body through the process and preparing for a healthy pregnancy. We’ll focus on nourishing your body with key nutrients to support your immune system, reduce inflammation, optimise the vaginal microbiome and improve overall wellbeing, ensuring your body is an optimal state to receive an embryo.
Does my partner have to take part?
If your partner is contributing a fresh sperm sample this is important. Fertility is a shared journey and optimising your partner’s nutrition and lifestyle plays a key role in supporting reproductive health. Even if fertility challenges seem to be on one side, both partners can benefit from making positive changes to optimise reproductive health.
I’m worried I’ll have to make difficult changes to my diet?
I’m all about balance. My goal isn’t to completely overhaul your eating habits but to work with you to make realistic, sustainable changes that fit into your lifestyle. Fertility nutrition is about nourishing your body, not depriving it. I’ll help you find healthier alternatives to your favourite foods and teach you smart ways to balance your meals, transforming your diet into a fertility-supporting powerhouse.
