    Episode 146: Top 5 Fertility-Boosting Supplements for Women with Endometriosis

    If you have Endometriosis and are trying to fall pregnant — either naturally or with the help of IVF or IUI — it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by conflicting supplement advice.  In this episode, I break down the five key supplements that can support fertility in women with Endometriosis, and explain why they matter in the context of inflammation, oxidative stress, egg quality, and gut health.  You’ll learn how folate, CoQ10, vitamin C, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), and vitamin E work to support healthy egg development, reduce inflammatory load, and protect fertility — and why women with Endometriosis often have higher needs for these nutrients.  I also share a bonus supplement for those preparing for IVF, R-alpha lipoic acid, and explain how it can help support egg quality and ovarian function during assisted reproductive cycles.  This episode is practical, evidence-based, and designed to help you feel more confident about which supplements may be worth considering — and which ones require a more personalised approach.  🎧 If you’re currently taking a prenatal multivitamin, I also recommend listening to episode 115, where I explain why the type of folate you take matters more than you may realise.    I’ve created a free guide that explains how you can use diet and supplements to help improve your fertility. It’s called “5 strategies to improve your fertility naturally“ and you can download it here: https://www.subscribepage.com/5strategiesimprovefertilitynaturally    #endometriosis #theendometriosistnutritionist #EndometriosisDiscoveryCall #endometriosissymptoms #NutritionForEndometriosis #1in10 #endoadvice #nutritionist #NutritionAdvice #theendometriosisnutritionistpodcast #fertility #endometriosisfertility #fertilitysupplements #boostfertility

    Episode 145: Sleep, Stress and Endometriosis: Small Changes That Make a Big Impact

    Many of my clients have difficulties with sleep: difficulty falling asleep or waking up often, or not getting enough sleep, or if they do, not getting the quality sleep they want. And studies have shown that in Endometriosis, poor quality sleep contributes to period pain, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, bladder pain and more depressive symptoms.  So what does good sleep look like, and how does your sleep affect your Endometriosis?  I’ve created a free guide “5 Steps to reducing your Endometriosis symptoms with nutrition”.

    Episode 144 - Omega-3s vs. Omega-6s Fats That Fight Inflammation

    Omega-6 fats are often blamed for inflammation inEndometriosis — but here’s the truth: they’re not the enemy. The real issue is how much we’re getting from processed foods, and how little omega-3 we’re consuming to balance things out. In this episode, I’ll explain how these fatsinfluence inflammation in Endo — and what simple, realistic changes can actually make a difference.
