Episode 12: Diet and supplements - the effect on fertility

In today’s episode we are sitting down with Stefanie Valakas, a dietician and nutritionist who specialises in reproductive health, fertility and pregnancy. Stef owns the incredible virtual nutritionist practice, The Dietologist, where her and her team guide, empower and educate families through their journey to parenthood. Stef also talks us through her own recent journey where she chose to freeze her eggs at just 27 years old.

Topics we cover are:

• Can we impact our egg and sperm quality through what we eat?
• How can diet effect fertility and what does the evidence say around best dietary practices?
• How do you support couples with IVF and fertility through diet and supplementation?
• Why did you as a 27 year old, choose to freeze your eggs? What did this process look like?
• How does PCOS and endometriosis impact fertility, and what can we do holistically to support these conditions
