I lost two of my cousins who dealt with fertility issues, and I never got the chance to talk with them about what they went through. 🤍
In South Asian families, topics like fertility and hormone health are often put off or avoided altogether. But our bodies are completely connected:
🩸 Hormones: Affect metabolic health and daily energy levels.
🫀 Metabolism: Directly influences cardiovascular health.
🧠 Physical Health: Directly impacts mental health and mood.
🗣️ Culture & Upbringing: Dictate whether we talk about any of it or carry it alone.
We launched SAFAR (South Asian Fertility & Reproductive Health) with Appy + Yaar to open up these conversations with real medical facts and community support. 🌿

Grateful to our sponsor for helping us make reproductive health support accessible to our community. 🤝
💬 Have you ever wished you had opened up about a health topic with family sooner?

The UK NICE fertility guidelines have recently been updated for the first time in 13 years.

Dr Divpreet Sacha breaks down what the NG27 actually means for people trying to conceive, what changed, what didn’t, and crucially, why the gap in preconception nutrition guidance persists.

“Why does my GP tell me one thing and Google tell me another?”

It’s something Dr Divpreet Sacha hears a lot. She knows the NICE guidelines better than most. Dr Divpreet also knows exactly what they are designed for and why that gap exists between what your GP can offer you in a 10-minute appointment, and what the research is showing.

In this reel, she talks through NICE does and doesn’t cover when it comes to fertility nutrition, and why understanding that distinction can be so useful.

The research connecting reproductive health to whole-body health has been building for years. 📊

What it consistently shows:
🔹 Fertility conditions carry independent cardiometabolic risk, beyond their effect on conception
🔹 For many, infertility is the presenting symptom of a systemic condition not yet named
🔹 Men at fertility evaluations are regularly found with undetected cardiovascular risk markers
🔹 The investigations exist. The clinical framing hasn't kept pace. 🔍

Reproductive health deserves the same diagnostic weight as any other system. 💙

Infertility Awareness Month. This is what that awareness looks like in practice.

If I could ‘prescribe’ a diet for fertility & hormonal health it would be the Mediterranean diet 🥗

🦠 Your gut microbiome helps clear oestrogen from your body. Fibre feeds it. Most of us aren’t eating enough.

🫒 Olive oil, nuts, seeds, these fats support how your body metabolises oestrogen, not just “heart health”

💊 If you have PCOS, omega-3s (oily fish, walnuts, flaxseed) have real evidence behind reducing androgen excess

⚡ Ultra-processed foods knock your insulin sensitivity, and that sits at the root of so many hormonal conditions

🔥 Low-grade inflammation quietly drives hormonal disruption. What you eat day to day either feeds it or calms it

The research can’t be packaged like a drug trial, which is why you won’t get a formal prescription for it. But the evidence pointing in the same direction, across multiple conditions, is hard to dismiss 💡

A nutritionist who specialises in women’s health can actually make this personal to you ✨Some brilliant nutritionists I know .dietitian.uk and there are so many others

I’ve sat in both sides of that appointment.
As a GP I’ve delivered the answers. As a patient going through IVF, I’ve received them.
What I understand now that I didn’t then — the appointment can only tell you what the framework allows. It was never designed to explain why.
🏥 Why “we don’t offer that” isn’t always a clinical verdict
💷 Why NICE also controls what gets funded — and what that does to the language
📅 Why some topics were excluded before the guideline was written
🌍 Why four international bodies read the same evidence and reach different conclusions
Has an appointment ever left you with more questions than answers?

National guidance on fertility has been updated for the first time in 13 years. And on the whole, I feel quite deflated. 😔

Because the system still sees a pathway, not a person. 🔬 The age-42 cutoff is financial, not clinical — and that’s in NICE’s own document. Mental health isn’t mentioned once. 🧠 Nutrition, sleep, stress, environmental health — all excluded before the writing even began.

I’m a GP. I work in this space. And I think people going through fertility treatment deserve to know the difference between a clinical limit and a cost decision. 💛
