Fertility Nutrition For Women + Men, PCOS Support and The Truth About Supplements With Registered Dietitian Ayla Barmmer

When it comes to fertility, what truly matters — and what’s just marketing? In this episode, Helene chats with mom of 2, Registered Dietitian and FullWell Founder Ayla Barmmer to break down evidence-based fertility nutrition for both women and men, PCOS support and what you need to know about prenatal and fertility supplements. Whether you’re actively TTC, planning ahead, navigating PCOS or simply wanting to support long-term reproductive health, this conversation will help you focus on what actually moves the needle — without the overwhelm.

We discuss:

-What nutrition really matters for fertility (for both women and men)

-How early to start focusing on fertility support before trying to conceive

-Strategic nutrition tweaks that have the biggest impact

-The impact of tobacco, alcohol and environmental toxins on TTC

-Specific nutrition, lifestyle and supplement recs for PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)

-How to choose supplements- which ones are essential versus catchy marketing

-The truth about trendy products like greens powders and colostrum

-What you need to know about the supplement industry and choosing effective and high quality products

-Ayla’s motherhood journey including postpartum depression and running businesses while mothering

You’ll learn why you don’t need an overhaul to optimize women’s and men’s fertility, but instead small, consistent, evidence based changes that have the biggest impact over time.
