I'm kicking off 2025 and our new series discussing the pressures surrounding New Year's resolutions and the unrealistic expectations often placed on individuals at the start of the year. I'm joined by the always lovely Kirsty Harrison (fertility nutritionist) to dig into idea that change can happen at any time and does not need to a big commitment to a totally new way of life. This is especially true for those who are on a fertility journey and can often feel the pressure to be perfect.We discuss the challenges of January and February, and the importance of taking care of your mental health and well-being during these months. We discuss​You don't need a new you; embrace who you are.​January can be a tough month; be gentle with yourself.​Setting resolutions in January can create unnecessary pressure.​Small, manageable changes are more sustainable than drastic ones.​Focus on positive changes rather than deprivation.​Accountability can help in achieving your goals.​Lean into the slower pace of winter months.​You can make changes at any time, not just New Year.​ This podcast is sponsored by Invivo Healthcare, the human microbiome company restoring human health and ecology with seamlessly connected testing, supplements and education. 💛 Join our Fertility Support Community for access to Teaching To Conceive, (our fertility education course), our monthly webinars and lovely group of supportive people who understand where you're at.🤩 Follow us on Instagram.☎️ Book a discovery call to find out how we can support your fertility journey.

It's the last episode of this series and Katy and I are going over common mistakes we see and hear when people are Trying To Conceive. We look at: why relying on apps is not always helpful why we always need to thinking about male fertility why OPKs aren't always good to rely on why knowing your cycle is so important to help spot problems why fertility is so unfair and sometimes makes no sense why it's ok to kick back at Christmas if you want to. And here is last years episode on Christmas with fertility nutritionist Kirsty Harrison and our webinar on looking after yourself during the festive season (with Kirsty and Carly).

In this episode I am talking with Marija from Plan Your Baby about fertility support options that do not involve IVF.  We discuss: How ovulation induction can significantly increase chances of conception. Why Clomid is being phased out due to its negative effects on the endometrial lining. Why cycle monitoring is essential for successful ovulation induction. Healthy lifestyle changes can enhance fertility treatment outcomes. Why progesterone support is crucial for those with luteal phase issues. How microbiome health may impact fertility and treatment success. If you'd like to find out more about see the Plan Your Baby website.
