I help women struggling with infertility increase their chances of conception

16/11/2025

There are a few things I wish someone had scribbled on a sticky note and handed to me when I first started trying to conceive.

Like…

30g of protein before 9am. Not because it’s trendy or another thing to add to your list, but because it gives your hormones the building blocks they need to function. It stabilises your blood sugar, calms your nervous system & helps your body feel safe enough to ovulate and hold progesterone. That one small change made a huge difference to how I felt.

Full-fat dairy over oat milk. I know almond milk looks good on paper but your hormones aren’t made from froth. They need cholesterol. This is one of the first things I go through with clients who’ve been told their oestrogen or progesterone is low.

Warm food, warm feet, warm womb. Especially in the second half of your cycle. If your energy’s flat, digestion’s slow, or you feel frozen all the time, your body’s likely under stress. Cold salads and smoothies might not be helping. Try something cooked, grounding, and actually satisfying. It makes more of a difference than people think.

Your cervical mucus will always tell you more than your OPK. That app doesn’t know your stress levels, travel, or nutrition. You do. Learn to read what your body’s saying first.

Red light therapy, used a few times a week, helped more than I expected. Not because it’s hypey or new, but because it’s actually been shown to increase ovarian blood flow and improve outcomes in IVF. It’s something I recommend early on now, especially when egg quality is a concern.

None of this came from my IVF clinic.

It came from years of tracking, tweaking, learning what my body needed, and helping other women figure it out too.

And if you’re nodding along but wondering how to actually start doing this every day, without guessing or googling every single breakfast… I’ve got something that will help.

Don’t invite me to do anything on a Sunday. I’m with Trevor Nelson 💃💃💃and a fridge full of food that actually makes the week doable.

This is my reset. My self-care. The one ritual I protect because if I can prep even a few bits for the week, everything feels less heavy especially when you’re TTC and your nervous system’s already doing the most.

If I can get some base proteins, carbs, fats, and veg sorted I feel steadier. More nourished. Less likely to spiral at 6pm with nothing to eat.

🥩 Roast chicken, slow-cooked bolognese, baked drumsticks

🥔 Jacket potatoes, cooked quinoa, soaked rice ready to go

🥦 A big pile of veg (fresh and frozen)

🍎 Stewed apples, raspberries defrosting for yogurt bowls

🍳 And nitrate-free sausages or bacon for easy breakfasts

The aim isn’t to prep every meal. It’s to have a few building blocks in place so food becomes one less thing to overthink or resent.

Most weeks I still add in things like fresh fish, homemade burgers, or a quick curry with that batch paste I make.

It’s not fancy. It’s not perfect.
But it makes the week feel possible and your hormones can feel that.

✨ Save this if you spiral when the fridge is empty and decisions pile up. 🙈

Weird things I’d throw in my Tesco basket if I was trying to get pregnant (which I was, for years, across four rounds of IVF …….so I’ve basically done a PhD in what actually supports your hormones vs what just clogs up your cupboards).

These are the bits that don’t always make it into glossy fertility food lists but they’re nutrient dense, accessible, and actually helpful when you’re trying to shift inflammation, nourish follicles, or just get back in rhythm with your cycle.

Think omega-3s for hormone production, fibre for oestrogen clearance, and iron rich foods that can actually help if you’ve had heavy periods or feel constantly drained. Nothing fancy, just solid staples that do their job.

And if you’re staring at these thinking “yeah, but what do I make with that?” I’ve got you, I’ve pulled together a one-day fertility meal plan to show you how to use nutrient dense foods in real life. Something you can actually eat, not just scroll past.

Hands up if you’ve ever spent a fortune in Whole Foods buying random powders and overpriced fad bu****it 🙋‍♀️
(Same! Fully guilty)

But when I finally stopped obsessing over “superfoods” and started eating like my hormones actually mattered, things shifted.

Not overnight, but steadily

More energy in the mornings
More regular cycles
More cervical mucus
More trust in my body

And the truth is?
It wasn’t the adaptogens, removing meat and dairy or the mushroom coffee or the collagen in everything.

It was things like…

🥦 Brussels sprouts
🥩 Ribeye steak
🍚 Basmati rice (from Pakistan, because arsenic content matters)
🐟 Sardines in actual olive oil, not sunflower oil

Real food for when you’re trying to conceive and your body is screaming for nourishment, not noise.

The tip I give every single 1:1 client?
It’s not just what you eat, it’s how you eat it. Slow down. Pair protein with carbs. Get 30g of protein before 9am.

If you’re stuck in the overwhelm of what to eat, start here: real food, eaten consistently, with care.

You know those mornings where you want something warm and comforting…

but also don’t want to crash by 10am?

This is the breakfast I always come back to.

Stewed apple with cinnamon, a big dollop of Skyr, and a sprinkle of seeds.

Simple. Nourishing. And surprisingly powerful when it comes to supporting your hormones.

Because here’s the thing:
When you start your day with enough protein (30g plus) a good dose of fibre, and something that actually satisfies you…everything starts to shift.

Your blood sugar evens out
Your energy stops spiking and crashing
You stop thinking about snacks an hour later
And your hormones finally get the stability they’ve been asking for.

This kind of breakfast doesn’t just fill a gap.
It tells your body: I’m safe I’m fed You can soften.

That’s the part we often miss when we’re trying to eat “clean” or “healthy”

We forget that nourishing our hormones means real food, real satisfaction, and enough of it.

So if you’ve been stuck in the granola and yoghurt loop, or waking up dreading another egg…
try this instead.

Stewed apple, Skyr, a sprinkle of chia or h**p, maybe a drizzle of almond butter.

Warm, grounding, and still packs over 30g of protein.

It’s the kind of breakfast your future self will thank you for especially if you’re working on fertility, blood sugar balance, or just feeling more like yourself again.
