What to Eat to Optimise Fertility, and the Blood Tests Every Woman in Her 20s and 30s Should Actually Be Getting

About this episode

The episode discusses nutrition and lifestyle strategies to optimize fertility and essential blood tests for women in their 20s and 30s.

Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell break down the nutrition and lifestyle strategies with the strongest evidence for optimising fertility, including the anti-inflammatory dietary pattern linked to better outcomes in over 5,000 Australian women, the key nutrients that support egg and sperm quality, the MTHFR mutation most women have never heard of, and why under-eating quietly disrupts ovulation even in seemingly healthy women. Plus: the blood tests every woman in her 20s and 30s should actually be getting, a protein smoothie product review, and how much milk a nine-month-old really needs.
