  • Thank you so so much!

    I’ve never reviewed a podcast before but I really felt like I had to share how valuable this resource is. It’s incredibly difficult to find balanced, clear and supportive information about fertility, but Hannah does an amazing job of delivering just that. The guests are knowledgable, and Hannah has an incredible knack for asking them the exact questions I’m thinking, leaving no stone unturned. I’ve used information I’ve learned from this podcast to advocate for myself in my own fertility journey... more

  • Inaccurate and unhelpful information/fear mongering

    I’m genuinely shocked by the ignorance and completely inaccurate information included in the latest episode, “Common Mistakes to Avoid When You’re TTC.”

    To quote: “You don’t want [period blood] to be brown, black, like any funky colours”. It is actually very normal for periods to start and/or end with brown, black or pink blood; this would NOT be a cause for concern unless also accompanied by other, far more serious symptoms. I’m amazed that a podcast which claims to empower women in their jou... more

What You Need To Know About Supplements For Male Fertility.
Q: If there were one supplement that you would say every man should be on, or that we universally think we all need, what would it be?
Vitamin D is often important to test for and correct if deficient; omega-3s are useful in many people, but blanket high-dose supplementation is not necessary if the diet is good.
What You Need To Know About Supplements For Male Fertility.
Q: What would you say are the biggest mistakes you see when men are taking fertility supplements?

What You Need To Know About Supplements For Male Fertility.
Q: So let's start right at the beginning, Kirsty, to what are supplements doing? Why do people and men in particular get recommended to take supplements for their fertility?
Supplements aim to reduce oxidative damage to sperm during production while ensuring you don't wipe out necessary reactive species; they should complement a good diet and address specific deficiencies or issues identified through testing.
How To Improve Your Egg Health
Q: How can someone start addressing inflammation to improve egg health?
Begin with an anti-inflammatory dietary approach, ensure consistent tracking of food, reduce processed foods, and address gut health and sleep; test inflammatory markers like high-sensitivity CRP to tailor interventions and assess progress.
How To Improve Your Egg Health
Q: What do we mean by egg quality and why is it important?
Egg quality refers to the health and viability of the egg, including nuclear DNA integrity and energy from mitochondria, which together influence fertilization, embryo development, and implantation; age and modifiable factors like inflammation and metabolic health play key roles.
