Have you ever heard of the Omega 6:3 ratio test? Called - The Balance Test

Most people haven’t, but it can tell you so much about what’s going on in your body when you’re trying to conceive, or if you are doing IVF.

This simple blood test looks at the balance between your omega-3s, which are your calming and anti-inflammatory fats, and your omega-6s, which are your pro-inflammatory fats.

Both are essential, but when the ratio is out of balance, it can create an inflammatory environment and also impair the immune system.

Why it matters:

✨ Supports egg quality

✨ Helps regulate ovulation

✨ Reduces inflammation linked to PMOS, Endo, Adeno and auto-immune conditions

✨ Supports implantation and healthy placental development

✨ Essential for s***m function

The best part is that it is a simple test that gives you clear direction on what your body actually needs, whether that is food, supplements, or simple swaps, instead of guessing.

👇 Have you ever done this test? What was your experience?

One very common story I see with couples trying to conceive is this:

You’ve been trying for months or even years, tracking cycles, taking prenatals, and doing everything right.

You finally see a specialist, hoping for answers, and then you hear the words: Endometriosis.

For many, it comes as a shock. You might not have had painful periods, or maybe you’ve dismissed the period cramps as normal. Suddenly, this invisible condition feels like it’s standing between you and the baby you’ve been dreaming of.

What you need to know ⬇️

Endometriosis can make conception more challenging, yes.

But it does NOT mean you cannot fall pregnant! There are ways to support fertility naturally and medically.

For some, IVF might be the path to pregnancy. For others, having excision surgery and doing further investigations into optimal hormone levels, reproductive microbiome testing, and making s***m health outstanding will be enough.

Some steps to start supporting your Endo fertility today include:

✅ Following an anti-inflammatory diet with a focus on what you can ADD to your diet (think fruits, vegetables, oily fish, extra virgin olive oil, nuts & seeds)

✅ Taking targeted antioxidants and high quality omega-3 supplements to protect your eggs and reduce higher levels of inflammation

✅ Checking for other autoimmune conditions like coeliac disease and auto-immune thyroid conditions

✅ Supporting hormone balance through regular sleep, stress management, and moderate exercise

✅ Working with your medical team to monitor ovulation, hormones, and egg quality

✅ Considering surgery with an expert surgeon or IVF only if recommended

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone!

Your eggs are the sum of the environment they live in.

Creating their dream environment can be a game changer 💫 I’ve seen it 👀

If I was to give all of my clients the same 3 pieces of advice, it would be these.

In this order:

1. Get your level of inflammation down by testing your cellular omega-6:3 ratio.

Levels between 3:1 and 1:1 indicate enough omega-3 fatty acids are present in your cell membranes to allow optimal function & fluidity. This keeps inflammation levels down.

Inflammation accelerates aging.

2. Avoid and minimise endocrine disrupting chemicals, plastics and toxic products on a daily basis.

Do a whole household overhaul. Be ruthless.

3. Lastly, level up your diet & supplements.

Feed your eggs the real nutrients they need for proper cell division and mitochondrial health.
Nutrients like:

* vitamin B12
* vitamin D
* zinc
* folate
* vitamin B6
* vitamin A
* CoQ10
* selenium

At 39yrs old I’m leaving no stone unturned 🤩

Let’s get this party started, what shots are you drinking?

There are lots of ways we can protect the body from endocrine disrupting chemicals!

And cutting your milk and yoghurt out is NOT one of them!

Have you heard this type rubbish before?

We all know that reducing inflammation is key when it comes to improving egg quality. But did you know your omega-6:3 ratio could be quietly working against you? 🔥🥚

🫣An imbalanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio drives chronic inflammation, which can disrupt the environment your eggs are maturing in - and impact their quality.

👌🏼The good news? Correcting this ratio is one of the most effective and measurable ways to lower inflammation and support egg health naturally.

📊Why measure? Because we can actually test your omega-6:3 ratio and track your progress over time.

⚖️But not all omega-3s are created equal. To truly shift the ratio, you need a premium omega-3 with high oxidative stability - so it doesn’t go rancid before it can integrate into your cell membranes.

🫒That’s why I recommend a high-polyphenol omega-3. The polyphenols from olives keep the oil stable and provide additional anti-inflammatory support—plus cell-stabilising benefits that can help reduce immune reactivity.

⏰This type of oil stays stable for up to 35 hours, giving it plenty of time to reach your cells and start making a difference where it counts - at the mitochondrial level, where egg quality is determined!

There is so much fertility advice online 📱 and a lot of it makes it seem like you need to eat perfectly, supplement endlessly, and control every variable to get pregnant 🤍

But the truth is, you can’t control everything and the more tightly you try to, the worse it will feel.

Fertility nutrition is not about perfection or restriction 🚫

It is about creating a personalised approach for you. Eating enough nutrition so your body feel safe and able to prepare for a pregnancy, or loading up with high-antioxidant but lower calorie needs if you’re needing weight loss optimisation, this can be achieved 🌟

It looks like understanding your cycle 🩸 your history 📖 and your nutrient needs 🧬

It looks like consistency over drastic changes

And it looks like having a plan you trust instead of constantly second guessing yourself 🧠

If you are feeling confused by conflicting advice and want to feel calmer knowing you are approaching your fertility nutrition right, this may be for you ✨
