EPISODE 88 - Preparing your body nutritionally for conception and beyond, with Day One Fertility
This week I’ve invited Jacq and Britt of Day One Fertility onto the podcast to help us unpack pre-conception health - with some added info on pregnancy and postpartum too.
With 5 children and 20+ years experience in the health industry between them, Jacq and Brit know a thing or two about nutrition, optimising fertility and parenting! But when they first started out, they too felt the overwhelm and lack of credible resources to truly feel empowered by nutrition for fertility. They value evidence based nutrition, and have combined the science with their practical experience as mothers to deliver you a series of in depth courses in nutrition for fertility at Day One.
My intention in bringing the ladies onto the show was to help simplify nutrition, which I find can be overly complex when you’re trying to get pregnant.
In this episode we cover…
+ What research tells us about how we can improve our chances of conception
+ Why we need to start planning for conception at least 6 months prior (and so do our partners)
+ The 7 things you can implement today to improve your fertility by almost 70%
+ Conception supplementation, what’s actually needed
+ Why our diets are lacking now more than ever, and it’s not just about bad food choices
+ MTHFR and folic acid
+ Simplified nutrition for pre-conception and most supportive food lifestyle for fertility (backed by research)
+ The different calorie requirements for each trimester including postpartum
+ Delicious food ideas to support you to make eating for conception simple
I know that this is going to be a well loved episode for its information and clarity, as well as the easy to implement tools.
Once you finish listening don’t forget to take a moment to leave a five star review on your favorite platform. I deeply appreciate you closing the energetic cycle of giving and gratitude.
