In this episode, the hosts introduce their guest Nicola Salmon, a fertility coach with a medical science background who advocates for fat-positive fertility.

Nicola shares strategies for navigating the biases in fertility healthcare systems, especially for those in bigger bodies.

She discusses her journey, the myths around fertility in fat bodies, and the challenges posed by current medical practices, including BMI restrictions and the implications of GLP-1 medications.

Nicola also offers insights on advocating for oneself in medical settings and emphasizes the importance of creating a supportive and safe environment.

The conversation covers practical advice, highlights the emotional aspects of the journey, and aims to provide both hope and actionable steps for those struggling with fertility and fat bias.
