The Fertility Reset

From Cold Uteruses to Olive Oil: Fertility Food Myths, Explained!


Listen Later

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. Today, I’ll share my perspective on why sustainable choices and consistency matter so much more. Here’s a peek at what we’ll cover:

  • Why the “cold uterus” myth doesn’t have to control your food choices
  • How rigid meal plans can actually add stress to your life
  • Why things like Omega-3s and olive oil are actually useful for fertility
  • How to find a balanced approach to eating that supports your journey
  • 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.
