Nurturing Fertility I help women struggling with infertility increase their chances of conception

31/12/2025

This moment can feel heavier than people realise, because it is not just another date on the calendar, it is a quiet reminder of everything you thought would already be different by now.

The routines you imagined, the milestones you pictured, the version of yourself you expected to be living this life with a child in your arms instead of questions in your head.

If you are feeling pressure to feel hopeful, motivated, or grateful right now, please know that nothing has gone wrong if all you feel is tired.

Tired of tracking, tired of waiting, tired of trying to hold it together while the world moves on as if this isn’t consuming so much of you.

What I see again and again in my work is that this season is not a sign you are failing or falling behind. It is often a sign that your body and nervous system have been carrying more than anyone ever taught you how to support.

Fertility is not just about doing more, fixing faster, or staying positive enough. It is about feeling safe, nourished, and supported through a process that asks so much of you.

You are allowed to move into this new year gently, grand promises or forced optimism, and you are allowed to want support that actually takes some of the mental load off your shoulders instead of adding to it.

If you are reading this and thinking you cannot do another year of guessing, Googling, or trying to piece things together on your own, this might be the moment to let someone help you carry it.

Whether that looks like personalised support, deeper testing, or having a clear plan created for you instead of doing all the thinking yourself, you do not have to do this alone.

And if all you need today is to know that your feelings make sense and that you are not broken for still wanting this so badly, I hope you let that land too.

There comes a point on this journey where you realise that trying harder is not the same thing as being supported, and that a lot of the advice we are surrounded by is loud, expensive, and strangely disconnected from how bodies actually work.

This post is not about doing less because you have given up, it is about choosing to stop carrying things that are quietly draining you while offering very little in return.

The constant self blame when ovulation does not arrive on cue, the endless supplement stacking without looking at whether you are actually eating enough, the habit of pushing through mornings on caffeine and willpower while telling yourself you will sort it out later, and the idea that tracking more data will somehow fix the fact that you are exhausted and under fuelled.

What I see over and over again in my work is that cycles start to shift when the focus moves away from control and perfection and back towards nourishment, regulation, and consistency.

When breakfast becomes something that actually gives you energy, when meals stop shrinking during the two week wait, when support is no longer seen as a last resort but as a sensible next step.

If you are reading this and feeling a quiet sense of relief rather than pressure, that usually means your body has been waiting for a different approach.

If you want structured support that helps you connect the dots without overwhelm, my 3 month fertility nutrition programme is designed to do exactly that.

If you’re walking into a new year without the baby you thought you’d have by now, I want you to hear this clearly:

You’re not behind & You’re not failing.

It just means the plan you were following didn’t give your body what it actually needed and that is not your fault.

January piles on pressure. New hope, new rules, new supplements. 😳

But what actually shifts fertility isn’t doing more. It’s doing the right things consistently, calmly, and long enough to matter.

If I were still TTC in January, these are the 10 things I’d focus on:

1. Eating 20+g of protein within an hour of waking, not skipping breakfast and wondering why your energy crashes by 10am.

2. Swapping caffeine on an empty stomach for meals that don’t spike then crash you.

3. Wearing blue light blockers at night so your melatonin rises (your eggs need it just as much as your sleep does).

4. Tracking cervical mucus daily, not just ovulation strips so you stop mistiming ovulation.

5. Adding root veggies, sourdough, and soaked oats to bring your carb intake up, not down as progesterone needs it

6. Swapping seed oils for olive oil and grass fed butter to lower silent inflammation from food, not just pills.

7. Not ignoring loose stools or constant bloating. it’s not “just IBS,” and your hormones are absorbing that stress.

8. Setting a timer to stop forum scrolling after 10 mins cos comparison isn’t research.

9. Staying consistent for at least 3 cycles, not throwing it all out when month one doesn’t magically fix things.

10. Getting real support so you’re not building your plan from Instagram screenshots and TikTok tips.

None of this is dramatic. But it’s the difference between spinning and finally seeing your body respond.

If you’ve already downloaded my free guides and meal plans, and you’re still wondering what your body actually needs, this is where we go deeper.

You don’t need another checklist. You need clarity, structure, and support that meets you where you are.

There’s a moment that happens for almost everyone trying to conceive where you realise just how much you’ve been carrying. You’re not just tracking ovulation and remembering supplements. You’re navigating uncertainty, holding hope, managing appointments, and trying to stay grounded in a body that doesn’t always give you clear answers.

You’ve followed the advice. You’ve changed your diet. You’ve cut caffeine, added supplements, tried different types of exercise, and googled every symptom under the sun. And still, you feel like something must be missing.

That’s the part no one really prepares you for. The waiting. The guessing. The emotional cost of trying to get pregnant when it’s not happening quickly, and when every test result seems to come back “normal.” You start to question whether it’s you. Whether you’re doing something wrong. Whether you just need to try harder.

But more often than not, it’s not about trying harder. It’s about shifting the focus away from doing more and towards actually supporting your body. Because even the best tracking apps and the most expensive supplements can’t override the basics.

Ovulation is a sign of safety. Hormones need energy. Your body needs consistent nourishment in order to support conception. And sometimes, the first step is not a new protocol or a new test. Sometimes, it’s as simple as returning to meals that actually support your hormones and stop the cycle of depletion.

If you want to start the new year with more clarity and less second guessing, I have something that can help.

Comment PROTEIN and I’ll send you my free protein-packed breakfast guide to help you start your day in a way that supports ovulation and energy.

Or comment CONNECT if you’d like to book a free 15-minute chat to figure out what support might look like for you.

You do not have to keep navigating this alone.

If you want to be pregnant in 2026, the work doesn’t start with a new supplement or ovulation app in January. It starts now ….with how your body feels, functions, and fuels itself every day.

We’re told egg and s***m quality can improve in 90–100 days. But follicle development starts long before that.

So the meals you eat today? The stress you don’t process? The skipped meals? They don’t just affect energy they impact ovulation, egg health, hormones, and your chances of conceiving next year.

I didn’t know this before my first IVF cycle. I thought a protocol was a plan. I thought CoQ10 and “clean eating” were enough.

But after 4 rounds, here’s what I know: if your body doesn’t feel safe, it won’t prioritise fertility. And you can’t supplement your way out of that.

If I were starting again, here’s what I’d do:

1.Stop over-sanitising your diet.
Restriction keeps your body in a stress state. Your hormones don’t need another rule, they need good quality fish & meat, olive oil, root veg, minerals, and food that feels good.

2.Focus on ovulation, not just your period.
Your period is the outcome, ovulation is the main event. Learn your signs. A regular cycle doesn’t always mean healthy hormones.

3.Rest like it’s your job.
Most women TTC are under rested and over performing. Earlier bedtimes, fewer HIIT sessions, and recovery meals matter more than you think.

4.Don’t overlook the other half.
S***m quality is just as important and impacted by sleep, food, alcohol, and heat. This isn’t fixed with a multivitamin. Think lifestyle changes, antioxidants, zinc, selenium, and ubiquinol over 3+ months.

Save this if “I’ll start in January” has been your fallback 🙂‍↔️

The way we talk about getting pregnant completely ignores the women who aren’t ovulating…

Who never see cervical mucus…

Who feel like every period is another slap in the face.

These women aren’t failing.

They’re navigating systems that were never built with their biology in mind.

We’re told to just keep smiling, pushing, and “chilling out”…

While tracking apps, rushed appointments, and copy-paste advice miss everything that matters.

It’s not you.
It’s the system.

And it’s time we changed the conversation around what it really takes to get pregnant.

The advice out there is chaotic

Go gluten free. Don’t eat fruit. Add this £80 powder to your smoothie.

Cut carbs, unless you’re told not to and definitely stop coffee, unless someone says it’s fine in moderation.

I work in this space and even I find it overwhelming. So I can only imagine how it feels when you’re trying to do everything right, you care so deeply, and yet you’re more confused than ever about what to actually eat.

You’re trying to get pregnant, or preparing for IVF, or maybe still recovering from a loss and every time you Google “fertility foods” you end up with a list of ingredients you don’t recognise and supplements you can’t afford. Or worse, another reason to blame yourself.

What I need you to know is that it doesn’t have to be this complicated.

There’s a big difference between nutrition that looks good online and nutrition that actually helps your body feel safe enough to ovulate, to regulate your cycle, to sustain implantation.

That’s why I made the Eat Your Way to Better Fertility guide. It’s not another restrictive meal plan. It’s a 90 day food first approach that helps you understand what your body needs, what’s missing from your plate, and how to support both partners in a way that’s grounded in evidence not fads.

This is about nourishment, not perfection.

It’s about metabolic safety, hormone repair, and the nutrients your future baby literally needs to develop.

You don’t need detox teas, celery juice, a parasite cleanse or another expensive supplement you’re not even sure is working.

You need food that supports ovulation, builds better quality embryos, and gives you a plan you can actually follow without burning out.

If that’s what you’re looking for, comment GUIDE and I’ll send you the link to get started.

Because the sooner we cut through the noise, the sooner you can start doing what actually matters.

I cried before work most mornings when I was going through IVF, then fixed my face and walked into the office pretending everything was fine.

At the time I was working 8am-6pm in corporate, running on cortisol and caffeine, carrying this huge invisible weight that no one really saw. I didn’t feel like I could be honest about how much it was taking out of me, not at work, not with friends, not even fully with myself.

The scans, the blood tests, the waiting, the hope, the heartbreak, the miscarriages, the two-week wait that felt like forever. I held it all in because I didn’t want to seem like I wasn’t coping.

Looking back now, I just wish more people talked about this part. The part where you feel like you have to keep functioning even when you’re falling apart behind the scenes.

If you’re in it right now, I just want to say you’re not failing. You’re carrying more than most people will ever understand. You don’t have to explain it, and you’re allowed to fall apart sometimes too.

If it would help to talk it through with someone who really gets it, I offer free 15-minute connection calls — no pressure, just a space to be heard and explore what support might look like for you. Comment CONNECT and I’ll share the link to book

Sending love
