Egg quality is crucial for women trying to conceive, but it can be influenced by various factors such as age, genetics, and lifestyle habits.

Lacey explains the definition of egg quality and why it's important to seek the help of a fertility nutritionist to improve it.

Certain lifestyle habits can impact egg quality, such as sleep, sunlight exposure, and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals and plastics.

Lacey provides tips and strategies for improving sleep quality, getting enough vitamin D through sunlight exposure or supplementation, and reducing exposure to harmful chemicals and plastics.

Lacey emphasizes the importance of seeking the help of a fertility nutritionist or other healthcare provider if you're struggling to conceive or want to improve your chances of getting pregnant.

In having this conversation with Daniel, and I am sure you’ll agree with me once you’ve listened, but you can really tell that quality of care is of the utmost importance for him and his team, and treating each and every person he sees as an individual, and working with their goals, is super important.

It is a great discussion, and Daniel answers these common questions about egg freezing:

• What is the best age to freeze eggs?

• Side effects of egg freezing
• Egg freezing success rates
• How much does it cost to have your eggs frozen?

This podcast episode discusses WHY we should perhaps prepare our pelvic floor muscles for birth, and 5 WAYS in which we can prepare our pelvic floor for birth.

Our pelvic health is important, but often under recognised.  Pregnancy and birth is a time where we are more at risk of pelvic health issues such as incontinence (leaking), or prolapse (eg vaginal bulge/lump).

There are actually quite a few ways that we can help prepare our pelvic floor for birth, worth noting whilst still pregnant.

We trust you're going to get heaps of value from this episode.
