In this week’s episode, I’m joined by advocate, author, and fat positive fertility specialist, Nicola Salmon. Nicola is a prominent figure in the world of fat activism, and the leading voice for fat folks seeking fertility support. She’s also the author of the groundbreaking book “Fat and Fertile.”

Together, we discuss:

• Why it’s time to ditch the myth that fat people have more challenges with fertility
• How to honor the body’s nervous system response when seeking out fertility support
• The misconception of calorie restriction for fertility improvement
• What it looks like to take a holistic approach towards health that spans beyond weight

 
Mentioned in the episode:

• The Real Reason Why Being Higher Weight Leads to Negative Health Outcomes (it's not the weight)
