Are you missing out on this key nutrient?

✨ Top Choline-Rich Foods:
• 🥚 Eggs (especially the yolks!)
• 🐄 Grass-fed beef liver (limit to 1x weekly)
• 🐟 Salmon – choline + omega-3 boost
• 🍗 Chicken or turkey
• 🌾 Quinoa
• 🥦 Broccoli & Brussels sprouts
• 🌿 Soy lecithin (non-GMO)

💧Most women need 425–550 mg choline daily, but most prenatals don’t include enough — so food sources matter!

🙋🏼‍♀️ Planning to conceive?

Have you and your partner PROPERLY checked your nutrient levels? Preconception care isn’t just about taking a prenatal, it’s about making sure your body has the correct nutrition and balance to support a healthy pregnancy. This also ensures the best start for your unborn child. 🧬

As a Functional Nutritionist, I use tests not to check if you’re “within range" - I'm looking for optimal range.

🙋🏼‍♀️ Did you know it takes around 72 days for s***m to fully mature? Why does this matter?

That means the lifestyle and nutrition choices made today will impact s***m health 3 months from now.
This is why you’ll always hear me banging on about the importance of giving your body a full preconception window.
I’m not talking about a couple of days…
I’m talking 3 months!

During this time, focusing on:
✅ A nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory diet
✅ Reducing toxin exposure
✅ Managing stress & improving sleep
✅ Supporting gut and hormone health
…can significantly improve s***m quality, motility, and DNA integrity, all of which play a key role in fertility outcomes.
Fertility isn’t just about the egg… s***m health really matters. Both partners benefit from preparing their bodies in advance.

🥑 Food is one of the most powerful tools we have to support fertility.

When preparing for pregnancy, it’s not about restrictive diets or chasing the latest trend, it’s about creating a nutrient-rich foundation that supports hormone balance, egg and s***m quality, and a healthy uterine environment.

Here are some of my top fertility-boosting foods:
🥗 Fresh, organic vegetables → packed with antioxidants to reduce inflammation.
🫐Colourful fruits (especially berries) → rich in vitamin C & polyphenols to protect eggs & s***m from oxidative stress.
🍣Clean, lean proteins → essential for hormone production and cell repair.
🌾Whole grains (quinoa, brown rice) → steady energy & blood sugar balance (key for fertility hormones).
👉🏽Fermented foods (kimchi, kefir) → nourish the gut microbiome, which is closely linked to reproductive health.

If you’re looking for personalised guidance on how to use nutrition to optimise your fertility, book a consultation via the link in my bio, I’d love to support you.

When most people think about fertility, they focus on nutrition, lifestyle, and hormones…

But did you know that toxic heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic can silently build up in your body and impact your ability to conceive?
👉 In men, they can reduce s***m count, damage DNA, and affect motility.
👉 In women, they can cross the placenta, disrupt hormones, and increase miscarriage risk.

Where do they come from?
🚰 Non-filtered tap water
💄 Conventional cosmetics
🐟 Contaminated fish (like tuna & swordfish)
🦷 Dental amalgams
🌫️ Polluted air

Safe detoxing from heavy metals prior to conception is crucial. I work with couples every day to uncover hidden barriers and support their journey to conception.

🧬 Your GP may say your bloods look 'fine' but I'm looking for optimal.

For the best chance of a healthy conception I recommend both partners do a full blood panel at least 4 months before trying to conceive. We need optimal levels - which can be very different to the reference ranges you see on a pathology result.

Optimising nutrition has a huge impact, not only on conception but on the DNA & ongoing health of your unborn child.
