Food and Fertility with Mel Brown | Christmas Countdown 🎄 Day 18

Day 18, and this one's all about something you can control (but is really hard at Christmas) what you eat.

We're joined by nutritionist Mel Brown, who specialises in male fertility nutrition. Mel breaks down how diet directly affects sperm health, why organic matters, and the practical changes you can make without losing your mind or your wallet.

If you're looking to take control through nutrition, this episode gives you the knowledge to start. That's exactly why we're running our 24-day exercise challenge—to help you build habits that support your health. The details are in the show notes.

💬 What to Expect in This Episode

•How Mel fell into specialising in male fertility nutrition

•Why sperm is uniquely vulnerable to damage and needs antioxidants

•The impact of diet on sperm quality and offspring health

•Practical advice on organic vs non-organic foods (the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15)

•How pesticides and xenoestrogens affect male hormones

•Why you don't need to stress about perfection—just do your best
