Understanding Fertility: Beyond Reference Ranges and Nutrition

This episode challenges common misconceptions about fertility reference ranges, emphasising why "average" sperm health should never be the goal. We discuss the importance of both partners actively understanding and supporting each other’s fertility journeys, as well as the profound psychological impact of the process. The conversation explores holistic fertility solutions, focusing on the critical role of proper nutrition, the dangers of industrial seed oils, and the importance of tuning into the body’s signals. We also introduce the newly released book Getting Pregnant When the Body Says No, which offers actionable insights into overcoming infertility through foundational dietary changes and a structured fertility program. Packed with practical tips on nutrition and tracking physical changes, this episode highlights the need for a truly comprehensive approach to fertility that goes beyond medical interventions.
