Have you caught the latest Nutrition Science Bites Podcast about Fertility and Nutrition?

 

Do you ever ask yourself, “Can I change what I eat to improve my fertility?”. If so, read on …

In this episode of Nutrition Science Bites, Prof Clare Collins and Dr Shelley Wilkinson (our Director and Principal Dietitian) discuss the critical relationship between nutrition and fertility.

They explore definitions of fertility and infertility, the impact of lifestyle and dietary choices on fertility, and specific recommendations for women and men trying to conceive.

The conversation emphasises the importance of a balanced diet, the role of supplements, and the need for professional guidance in optimising fertility through nutrition.

Listen here to understand the powerful effects of nutrition on fertility.
