Can you believe it's almost the silly season already?
Now, over here at The Dietologist, we get it. The holidays can stir up a whirlwind of emotions, especially when those well-meaning friends and family members just can't resist asking the age-old question: "When are you having a baby?" Tis also the season when our DMs start blowing up with messages like, "Help! Another year's gone by, and my baby plans are still MIA!"
The holidays are awesome, no doubt about it. There's more freedom, time to relax, parties galore, mouthwatering dishes, and, of course, drinks!
But hold onto your Santa hats because here's the holiday plot twist: If your goal is to ring in the new year with fertile intentions, it's time for you and your partner to be on top of your diet and lifestyle game.
So, while we're all about embracing the holiday spirit, let's not forget to be a bit mindful about what's going into our bellies. Tune in to this episode for some nifty tips on how to juggle the holiday festivities while keeping your baby-making plans in mind.

This is a far cry from 15% before 1981, 23% in 1991, an even higher than just over 10 years ago in 2011, where 43% of first time mums were in their 30s. Factors like education, careers, finances, relationships, and housing markets (looking at you, Sydney!) contribute to this trend.
But, here's the kicker – our biology couldn't care less about all that.
As fertility rates gradually decline with age, it's crucial to understand fertility in your 30s. So, in today's episode, I dive into the top tips to prepare your body for pregnancy in your 30s. We're diving into stats, facts, modifiable factors, and of course, some nutrition foundations to fuel your exciting baby-making journey.

Welcome back to Fertility Friendly Food, the Podcast! In this episode, we revisit the topic of Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA) with our special guest, Accredited Exercise Physiologist and health coach,Sarah King. If you missed our previous episode with Sarah on HA, we've linked it in the show notes for you.
You can find Sarah on Instagram at @sarahlizking or visit her website for more info on her work in this space.
Hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) is responsible for around 30% of cases of secondary amenorrhea in women of reproductive age.
In this episode, we delve into the topic of HA, clarifying what it is and dispelling common myths, like the misconception that it only affects individuals in smaller bodies or with eating disorders.
At The Dietologist, we often see people with HA struggle to seek support because the solutions seem simple in theory: eat more, move less, and manage stress. However, we explore the complexities and barriers people face when trying to implement these changes, which can be rooted in body image issues, diet culture, eating disorders, habits, and fear of weight gain.
Sarah shares practical strategies that have worked well for her clients in each aspect of HA management: nutrition, exercise, and stress.
To book a session with The Dietologist team for a personalised approach to managing HA and supporting your fertility, head here.

This episode discusses a personal story. Every fertility story is different and unique. Please don't compare your own journey to our guest's story today and seek a professional health care team to support you on your own journey.This week, we're absolutely thrilled to introduce our special community guest on the podcast - Sarah @ceomumma on Instagram and founder of @mummyandh, a solo mum to the adorable two-year-old, Hartley. This episode is all about her incredible journey as a solo mumma by choice, finding out she had Type 2 Diabetes right before her IUI and navigating PCOS, and then navigating the road through to IVF and beyond!
Sarah's journey paints a vivid picture of the emotional peaks and valleys, the waiting, and the unexpected twists and turns that often accompany the fertility journey. It's been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, and many of us can relate to that.
But here's the bright side that we'll delve into: The importance of building a strong support network, making small and doable lifestyle changes, finding the right healthcare team to offer guidance, and making informed decisions about nutrition. These factors can really make a positive impact on your journey, nudging you a step closer to turning your dream of adding a new member to your family into reality.
A heartfelt thank you to Sarah for joining us on the podcast and sharing your story with such openness and vulnerability. We believe that many people will relate to and find inspiration in your journey.

Ditching meat and animal products is nothing all that new. But in the past few decades, there is an ever-increasing number of people choosing to go vegan, vegetarian or plant-based whether it be for religion, animal welfare, environmental & sustainability or health-related reasons.
A common question we are asked here at The Dietologist is: A vegan or vegetarian diet helpful or harmful when it comes to fertility health?
In this episode, I break down the pros and cons of vegan & vegetarian diets and how they can impact fertility.
We'll chat about all the ways these diets champion the one group of foods most of us could absolutely be eating more of, plants! But, clinically, we also see a lot of downsides too, nutrient gaps, gut symptoms and IBS and more.
So, if you're curious about how going vegan, vegetarian, or plant-based might affect your journey to parenthood, this is the episode for you!

Today, we're going to talk about how to involve your partner in pre-conception and fertility care from the get-go!
Trying to get pregnant can be a very exciting time. Ideally, trying to conceive (TTC) should feel like something you're doing as a team (for those of you ith partners). But it isn't always simple and easy, and at times, it can put pressure on a relationship. Trust me, I've seen it all play out in consultations before!
Though conception may be more physically involved for the female partner, the male partner can play a crucial role in supporting the process and increasing the chances of success, after all, male fertility concerns account for 30-50% of all infertility cases!
We'll delve into the ways your partners can actively participate and show unwavering commitment to your TTC (trying to conceive) journey. Armed with practical tips, this will be a great one to share with your partner or listen together on your next road trip!

This episode discusses a personal story. Every fertility story is different and unique. Please don't compare your own journey to our guest's story today and seek a professional health care team to support you on your own journey.This week we are so excited to have another community guest on the podcast. Emma, a mum of two, joins us, and today we delve into her story and experiences with secondary infertility, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and her preconception journey.
Emma's story highlighted the emotional rollercoaster of expectations, disappointments, and the difficulty of waiting in the fertility journey. We'll emphasize the importance of support, lifestyle changes, and guided nutrition in overcoming these challenges and achieving the goal of building a family. We'll explore what initially attracted her to Fertility360, our online course, and why she decided to take further action.
A heartfelt shoutout to Emma for being an incredible guest on our podcast. Thank you so much for being so open and vulnerable in sharing your story. It takes a lot of courage, and we really admire that.

Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF) is a frustrating and challenging condition that affects some couples trying to conceive through IVF. The definition of RIF is 3 or more IVF attempts with good-quality embryos, this can be due to a number of factors, which we will discuss in today's episode.
We are joined by our team dietitian at The Dietologist, Kaylee Slater APD to discuss the latest studies on the vaginal microbiome and its association with unexplained RIF, as well as endometritis and the use of an anti-inflammatory diet to assist in implantation.
While there is no specific diet or supplementation that guarantees success in overcoming RIF, the science is certainly emerging on how this area could potentially improve fertility outcomes.

It is true that male fertility is not always discussed as openly or frequently as female fertility. However, male fertility is just as common and just as much a part of the conversation. So in today's episode, we get a man's perspective who's lived through and living through infertility.
We are honoured to haveJon Summers from Infertility Manand author ofThe Man’s Guide to Infertility. After having testicular cancer, Jon believed he could never have biological children. With his wife Laura, they embarked on a fertility journey that has included 22 IVF egg retrieval cycles (so far), 2 sperm retrieval surgeries, and thousands of injections. Using love and humour, Jon and Laura got through their infertility experience together.
Jon discusses his and Laura's journey with struggling to conceive and finding balance in their health, emotions, finances, and relationships in this heartfelt episode.

IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) is a group of chronic inflammatory conditions that affect the digestive tract, including Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
In today's episode, I discuss IBD and its potential impacts on fertility. If you are planning to conceive and have IBD, it's important to discuss your concerns with your doctor.
For those living with IBD, and who also want to grow their family there are a number of considerations in regard to nutrient absorption, medications, and sperm and egg quality. This is where a fertility dietitian can be your best friend on this journey.

TW: This episode covers the topic of pregnancy loss. If this is not something you feel you should listen to today please skip this episode and listen to one of our previous episodes on Fertility Friendly Food! If you need support, please seek the advice of your GP or contact The Pink Elephant Support Network. Sadly 1 in 4 pregnancies, unfortunately, end with a loss. Recurrent miscarriage is characterised as 2-3 consecutive miscarriages and unfortunately affects 5% of couples wanting to conceive😢
At The Dietologist we do sadly see clients who feel like there is something they could have done to avoid pregnancy loss and this is certainly not the case. No ONE nutritional change can prevent pregnancy loss and many are due to chromosomal abnormalities or circumstances beyond our control.
Today we are joined by our team dietitian at The Dietologist Candice Crellin APD who has a particular interest in recurrent miscarriage nutrition. We talk about the possible causes of pregnancy loss, and then look at the controllable factors in what can feel like a very uncontrollable time- nutrition and lifestyle! Candice shares her considerations and top nutrition tips!

In this episode we are joined by Meta Getman (pronounced May-da) , a fertility coach who helps families who are exploring and/or facing a journey to parenthood they had never imagined: using donor eggs, donor sperm or donor embryo.
Through her work, Meta helps her clients go from isolation, loneliness, and a deep-rooted fear of what’s next to hope, and confidence in whatever their next step is to becoming a parent.
In this ultimate guide to donor conception episode, Meta discusses her own infertility challenges with her husband Michael and after eight rounds of fertility treatments, is now a mum to twin girls conceived via donor eggs.
Meta also steps us through the physical process of donation but also common feelings and challenges of donor conception such as legal and ethical issues, social stigma and disclosure for donor parents in this amazing and jam-packed episode.

We are back with our Endometriosis Mini-Series in honour of Endometriosis Awareness Month this March! With 1 in 9 people born with a uterus experiencing endometriosis, delays of 7-12 years for a diagnosis and the wide-reaching impacts it can have socially, emotionally, physically and on fertility, I thought it deserves all the awareness it can get! (Plus, I have endometriosis too!)
This week's episode is all about the role of the gut microbiome in endometriosis, how it might very well be the new frontier in learning more about endometriosis diagnosis and treatment!

We all know that too much sodium (or salt ) can have a negative impact on our cardiovascular health AND it might surprise you that the majority of the sodium in our diet is not what is sprinkled on our food or used in cooking ... it's in our packaged foods!
But are all salts made equal when it comes to fertility? Well, no! Some salts are fortified with iodine which is critical in prenatal nutrition and brain development during pregnancy. Listen in now to find the best salt for you and pre-conception health!

Whether you are actively trying or you have concerns about your fertility in the future, this is something we see in our clinic at The Dietologist very often. Some women (and sometimes men) experience pressure from the media, our often well-meaning family and friends and of course from ourselves! Today I share the facts about fertility anxiety and my own story of endometriosis, freezing my eggs and my own fertility anxiety.

Want to know the best oil to use for your fertility?
If you stroll down the cooking oil aisle at the supermarket you will notice lots and lots of choices!
We use oil in our cooking every day. Certain types of oils are scientifically indicated to impact our egg and sperm quality and therefore reproductive health and fertility.
In today's episode, I walk you through the saturated, unsaturated, and trans fat content, omega 3 profile, antioxidant content, and polar compound formation (stability) of many of our favourite cooking oils, and which is my top pick!
This is a small but impactful change you can make for a fertility-friendly diet... listen in now!

What is the best diet for IVF? Hint: it's actually ALL about the recipe for conception, which is similar for everyone, we just have WAY more visibility about each "ingredient" and step of the recipe when it comes to IVF.
In this episode, I discuss what we can do to optimise each ingredient, including how to optimise egg and sperm health and what we can eat to prepare for implantation. And how your investment in nutrition 3 to 6 months is so important before commencing IVF is so important!

She is also author of The Injustice of Infertility, a deeply inspiring and raw account of her own seven-year fertility journey.

Adenomyosis is a condition in which the inner lining of the uterus (the endometrium) breaks through the muscle wall of the uterus (the myometrium) contributing to painful symptoms. And whilst the symptoms can be loud, it is often missed, not talked about or dismissed which is we are coining it the "quiet relative of endometriosis" on today's episode of the Fertility Friendly Food Podcast. April is Adenomyosis Awareness Month 🎗️ so we wanted to spotlight this condition that about 1 in 10 experience.
Adenomyosis is a condition that needs more awareness, more funding, and more research. In today's episode of the pod, Accredited Practicing Dietitian Stefanie Valakas chats on a number of topics including the difference between adenomyosis and endometriosis, the common treatment options for adenomyosis, the research (or lack of!) managing symptoms with nutrition, and the effects of adenomyosis on fertility.

Today I dive into the effects of gluten on your fertility and ability to conceive - and answer the question: should you avoid gluten entirely to optimise your health and fertility?
I discuss:
- The difference between coeliac disease and gluten intolerance
- Whether reducing gluten in your diet can improve your chances of conceiving
- Why you might feel better after reducing gluten in your diet
- The health risks of going gluten free
- And who should consider going gluten-free to help manage symptoms of specific health conditions and support fertility.
There's a whole lot of myth-busting and useful info for anyone trying to conceive or considering going gluten-free!

Choline... What is it, and why is it so important for fertility?
If you're thinking of starting a family, pregnant or trying to conceive, I'm willing to bet you've heard about the importance of folate (or folic acid) in supporting the future health of your unborn baby. But have you heard of Choline?
This nutrient is arguably just as important, yet its importance is super underestimated...
Today we discuss the risks associated with not meeting your Choline requirements, food sources of Choline, whether you should be supplementing with it, and how it works alongside Folate to protect you and your baby!

As we age, our fertility gradually declines. So naturally, experts often encourage people (particularly women) to think about their fertility as early as possible.

Today we discuss the environmental factors you can work on right now, such as diet and lifestyle, to help you conceive later down the track!

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode talks about miscarriage and early pregnancy loss.
This episode talks about whether nutrition can help prevent another miscarriage, which affects 1 in 4 confirmed pregnancies. Now, it is never your fault! It isn't something you did or didn't eat, but I know you want to try and prevent the heartbreak of losing another little one and often we turn to the things we can control like diet. So here's the evidence around nutrition, diet and miscarriage.
For support for those going through or have been through a miscarriage or an early pregnancy loss please see the organisations and reach our to your GP for a mental health care plan and a referral to an experienced psychologist.
