Food & Infertility

Welcome back to The Food and Infertility Podcast! In today’s episode, I’m taking a laid-back, realistic look at some popular fertility nutrition myths and why they might not be as helpful as they seem. Ever been told to avoid cold foods or follow a strict meal plan? I get it – I’ve been there too, and it can feel overwhelming.

• Why the “cold uterus” myth doesn’t have to control your food choices

Whether you’re just starting or feeling bogged down by advice overload, I hope this episode gives you some clarity and helps you feel more empowered.
