    Fun Fact Friday #21 - Trying to Conceive? Why your Perfect Fertility Diet May Be Backfiring

    The pressure to follow the “perfect” fertility diet has never been stronger. With so much information & misinformation online, it’s easy to feel as though every food choice carries weight when you’re trying to conceive. In this episode, we explore the impact of restrictive food rules and why striving for perfection may not be the most supportive approach for your fertility or your mindset. We discuss what actually matters when it comes to evidence-based fertility nutrition, including key foundations that support egg and sperm health, inflammation, hormone health and overall wellbeing. Rather than focusing on elimination and rigid food rules, this conversation centres on sustainable, realistic strategies that nourish the body while reducing unnecessary stress. Fertility nutrition should feel empowering, not overwhelming.

Elise also takes a deeper dive into the most talked-about update regarding cow’s milk formula supplementation in the first week of life. She explains the research behind the recommendation, puts the evidence into context, and gently reassures families that there is no place for guilt when decisions were made based on the information and support available at the time.  So if you want clearer guidance around these new updates, or you’d like to feel more confident about introducing common allergens, then this episode is for you.

    Fun Fact Friday #20 - Why your New Year goals aren’t sticking and what actually helps

    For our first Fun Fact Friday episode of Season 5, we’re taking a slightly different approach and focusing on one topic, which is goal setting & New Year's resolutions. Even though it’s February and that New Year motivation may be fading. This episode is a gentle reminder that meaningful change doesn’t come from strict resolutions or striving for perfection, it comes from small, consistent steps over time. We chat about why so many New Year’s resolutions fall off early in the year, how everyday decisions can create big long-term impact and how we use values-led and SMART goal setting in our own business. We also share a practical, real-life example of one of our current business goals, so you can see what this looks like in action. This episode is perfect if you’re feeling overwhelmed by goals, behind on your resolutions, or simply wanting a more realistic and sustainable approach to the months ahead.
