Quick disclaimer: the supplements shown in the image are for illustration only and do not represent the exact five supplements discussed in this post.

This is also not a recommendation that everyone trying to conceive should take all five supplements, personalisation is key!

Ok let’s continue…

The fertility supplement industry is huge!! But more supplements do not automatically mean better fertility.

These are five supplements that may be worth considering when trying to conceive:

Folic acid: the preconception essential.
Vitamin D: particularly if levels are low or suboptimal.
Omega 3 (EPA and DHA): especially if oily fish is not a regular part of your diet.
Choline: an often overlooked nutrient important for early pregnancy development.
CoQ10: a more targeted supplement, particularly discussed in relation to advancing reproductive age and IVF.

A few important caveats:
These are not the only supplements that may be relevant.
Some people may benefit from other nutrients depending on their individual circumstances, such as iron or B12 if levels are low, iodine depending on intake, or inositol for some women with PMOS.

The right supplement plan depends on you: your diet, blood results, age, fertility diagnosis, and whether you are trying naturally or having assisted conception.

The goal is to understand what your body needs, choose supplements with evidence behind them, and spend your money wisely.

Supplements can support your fertility journey, but they cannot replace food, addressing underlying health factors, or appropriate medical support.

I have a supplement guide if you want me to send it over. DM me x

A semen analysis that isn’t what you hoped for can feel overwhelming.

But here’s what I want you to remember…

A semen analysis is a snapshot in time.

The s***m tested today reflects the environment it developed in over the last 2 to 3 months. That means the choices made over the next 90 days matter.

Nutrition, sleep, exercise, smoking, alcohol, heat exposure and overall health can all influence the environment in which s***m are produced.

This isn’t about finding a magic supplement or the latest fertility trend. It’s about focusing on the foundations that support s***m health.

Because fertility isn’t just about egg health.

Both partners contribute to the fertility journey.

That’s why I don’t just work with women. I work with couples too.

For a limited time, when you enrol onto my programme, your partner will receive a FREE Male Fertility Nutrition & Lifestyle Assessment.

Together, we’ll identify nutrition and lifestyle factors that may be influencing s***m health and look at ways to optimise both egg and s***m health before trying to conceive or starting IVF.

If you’re trying to conceive, preparing for IVF, navigating male factor infertility or simply want personalised fertility nutrition support, I’d love to help.

A slightly different post from me today. However this isn’t really a child nutrition post, it’s more about the reality of trying to nourish yourself while you’re also navigating the stage where your little ones are exploring food, learning what they like (and what they definitely don’t!), and meals can feel like a full-time job.

Because let’s be honest… it is so easy to put your own food at the bottom of the list.

You’re thinking about:

What they’re eating

Whether they’re getting enough variety

Offering new foods

Making sure they’re getting the nutrients they need

These are the foods I always have in my kitchen because they make this stage easier. I introduced them during the weaning stage and have offered them ever since - hence why they are firm favourites.

They are:

• Little to no preparation
• Minimal food waste
• Foods I know will usually get eaten
• Nutritious
• Easy to adapt for little ones (they were brilliant during weaning too!)
• Easy to turn into a meal for me

And maybe this is your reminder to be a little deinfluenced when it comes to feeding your family.

You don’t need:

The perfectly arranged plate with all the different compartments.

A new recipe every night.

Hours of meal prep.

Expensive ingredients that look great online but end up forgotten in the fridge.

Of course, we eat lots of other foods too. We have different fruits and vegetables, family meals, new foods and plenty of variety.

But having reliable staples means I’m not constantly starting from scratch.

I can quickly put something nutritious on their plate, and use those same foods to make sure I’m eating properly too.

What’s one food you always have in your kitchen because it saves you on busy days?

I review women’s food diaries every week as part of the assessment process in my programmes.

And one pattern I see time and time again?

Breakfast often presents an opportunity to increase both protein and fibre.

Before anyone looks at these examples and thinks, “My breakfast is terrible”, please don’t.

These are not “bad” breakfasts.

They are real breakfasts from real women navigating busy mornings, work, family life, appointments, school runs and everything else that comes with being an adult.

When I review a food diary, I’m not looking for perfection.

I’m looking for opportunities.

Could we add a little more protein?

Could we increase fibre?

Could we make this meal work a bit harder for us without making life harder?

That’s exactly how I approach my own breakfast.

The breakfast I’ve shared isn’t “perfect”. Depending on who you ask, it could have more protein, more fibre, fewer calories, more calories... the list goes on.

But nutrition isn’t a competition.

It’s about making choices that fit your life and support your health.

One reason I encourage clients to prioritise breakfast where possible is because it often becomes an anchor habit.

A small act of self-care that happens before the emails, meetings, school runs, deadlines and unexpected challenges of the day begin.

Not because breakfast needs to be perfect.

But because consistently nourishing yourself matters.

And often, breakfast is one of the easiest places to start.

what’s your go-to breakfast at the moment?

Could your reproductive microbiome influence fertility when trying to conceive and are probiotic supplements necessary?

The microbiome is becoming an exciting area of fertility research - particularly the vaginal microbiome, endometrial microbiome and their potential role in reproductive health.

Research suggests that a Lactobacillus-dominant vaginal microbiome may be associated with a healthier reproductive environment, and some studies have explored whether probiotics could support outcomes such as implantation, pregnancy rates and IVF success.

But should everyone trying to conceive take a probiotic?

Not necessarily.

The evidence is promising, but it’s still emerging. We don’t yet have enough evidence to say that probiotics are a fertility “fix” or that every person trying to conceive needs one.

Instead, focus on the foundations that support your microbiome and fertility health:

Eat a diverse, fibre-rich diet to nourish your gut bacteria and consider fermented foods if tolerated

Avoid unnecessary antibiotic use (while always taking antibiotics when medically needed)

Prioritise overall preconception nutrition and lifestyle factors

The reproductive microbiome is one piece of the fertility puzzle not a magic solution, but an area we’re learning more about every year.

If you’re preparing for pregnancy and want evidence-based fertility nutrition support, this is exactly the type of personalised approach I help women with.

Save this post for your preconception journey 🤍
