Eating for IVF: What to Eat and Why

In this episode, Jen Walpole, a fertility nutritionist explains how nutrition can support IVF outcomes, with a focus on the three months before treatment, a key window for egg and sperm development.

We explore why nourishment matters before IVF, the key nutrients linked to IVF success, and how vitamin and mineral deficiencies can impact hormone balance, egg quality, sperm health, implantation, and early embryo development.

We cover which foods to increase and which to reduce when preparing for IVF, plus a realistic look at what a typical day of eating might look like during IVF prep.

We also discuss eating during the two-week wait, what to prioritise, what not to overthink, and how to support both implantation and mental wellbeing.

Ideal for couples preparing for IVF or starting fertility treatment soon.

Endometriosis is common, complex, and often misunderstood especially when it comes to fertility. In this episode, Dr Rahi Victory, a reproductive endocrinologist and fertility expert breaks down how endometriosis affects fertility, how it’s diagnosed, and what treatment and pregnancy options are available.

We talk through the symptoms many people miss, why diagnosis is often delayed, and what patients can do if they’ve been told they have “unexplained infertility.” Most importantly, we share realistic and positive outcomes for people with endometriosis who want to grow their families.

In this episode, we cover:

• What endometriosis is and how it impacts fertility
• Signs and symptoms of endometriosis
• Diagnosis delays and why they’re so common
• Treatment options for endometriosis and fertility
• Pregnancy outcomes and success rates in patients with endometriosis
• How to advocate for yourself with unexplained infertility

When couples struggle to conceive, the focus often falls on female fertility but sperm health plays a crucial role too.

In this episode, we’re joined by Ian Stones from Test Him to explain sperm DNA fragmentation, one of the most overlooked factors in male fertility and unexplained infertility.

We break down what sperm DNA fragmentation actually is, how it differs from a standard semen analysis, and why sperm count and motility can appear “normal” while conception still doesn’t happen. This episode is especially relevant for couples facing unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriage, or repeated IVF or ICSI failure.

Ian explains who should consider DNA fragmentation testing, how the test works, and what the results really mean. We also explore lifestyle factors that can damage sperm DNA, such as stress, smoking, alcohol, diet, heat exposure, and inflammation and discuss evidence-based treatments and lifestyle changes that may help improve sperm DNA quality.

If you’ve never been told about sperm DNA fragmentation testing but are struggling to conceive, this episode could be the missing piece.

Ian also has an online support group which can be joined via the Test Him website.
