Fertility, diet and alcohol (with a top nutritionist and IVF mum-of-two)

Is there a “safe” amount of alcohol if I’m TTC? Can nutrition improve egg and sperm quality? Should I cut out coffee? What's the best diet if I'm trying to have a baby?

On this episode of Too Much Information, Issy sits down with Jen Walpole, a registered nutritionist specialising in fertility nutrition. Together, they discuss why balance matters more than perfection and bust some of the most common myths surrounding fertility, diet and alcohol.

Jen brings both professional expertise and lived experience, sharing her own fertility journey alongside guidance on how what we eat and drink really impacts egg and sperm quality.

Expect evidence-based advice, practical tips, and honest reassurance for anyone looking to optimise their fertility.

We'll be answering the questions...

💭 Does alcohol affect fertility?

💭 Should I cut out coffee and caffeine?

💭 What's the BEST diet to support egg and sperm quality?

💭 How much protein should I be eating?

💭 What foods should I avoid if I'm TTC?

Expect mythbusting and simple tips to help you and your partner eat well for fertility – and for the future.

And the all-important reminder that one glass of wine, one missed supplement, or one “imperfect" meal is not the reason you’re not getting pregnant.
