Heres a quick summary of some of the topics spoken about! 

Sarah’s background:

After working as a clinical embryologist in IVF clinics for many years, seeing couples struggling with their fertility, Sarah was driven to find alternative ways to support them on their journey. Through studying Psychology, and Personalised Nutrition, she discovered the transformational impact that diet and lifestyle changes can provide, especially when behaviour change is supported. She is now on a mission to share her knowledge, supporting those trying to conceive. Sarah details how her passion and background in Psychology has really helped her to connect with clients and help them through their indivual journeys. 

The role of nutrition in fertility

It’s no secret that nutrition has an impact on your health and wellness, so of course this will also affect your fertility. Sarah provides an understanding as to why this is so important, and provides some easy changes that can be made in order to really optimise your chances. Sarah and Jess discuss some of the impacts that everyday lifestyle can have on fertility, and what can be done about this.

Taking a holistic approach 

Fertility and health are so much more than nutrition. This is why both ScreenMe and Sarah take a holistic approach when advising on how to optimise fertility chances. Jess and Sarah chat about small lifestyle tips and tricks that can really have a large impact on your wellbeing. Starting on your health journey can be overwhelming, so Sarah and Jess highlight some of the ways in which you can make this manageable, as well as sustainable for yourself. 

We hope that you enjoy listening and watch out for next week’s episode!
