My Journey Into Fertility Nutrition

My path into fertility nutrition began through my own experience with PCOS and infertility. After being diagnosed with PCOS and experiencing seven years of amenorrhoea, I understand firsthand how confusing, frustrating and isolating fertility struggles can feel.

I felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice and frustrated by how little support there seemed to be around the deeper drivers of reproductive health. I wanted to understand what was happening in my body — and how I could support it naturally.

Through changes to my nutrition, lifestyle and targeted supplementation, I was eventually able to restore my cycle naturally. That experience completely changed the way I viewed health and became the beginning of a new career path.

After years working in the fast-paced newspaper industry, I retrained as a Nutritional Therapist at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition and later completed advanced practitioner training in fertility nutrition.

Today, I support women and couples with PCOS and related reproductive health concerns to better understand their bodies, balance hormones and feel more confident in their fertility journey — whether trying to conceive naturally or alongside assisted reproduction.

My approach is personalised, evidence-based and focused on the underlying drivers of imbalance rather than restrictive one-size-fits-all advice.

I believe fertility support should feel realistic, compassionate and sustainable — not overwhelming.

I believe nutrition support should feel realistic, supportive and achievable — not restrictive or overwhelming.

Clarity on why previous approaches may not have worked

This is not a generic nutrition consultation. It's a structured, root-cause focused session designed to help you understand your specific pattern and what to do next.

The early bird price of £99 with code PCOS26 is available until Saturday, after which the price returns to £155.

I love seeing the impact that targeted nutrition and lifestyle changes can have.

This couple came to me while trying to conceive. She has PCOS, and they were both looking to optimise their health and fertility.

Fast forward a few months and their results tell a very different story:

✓ Vitamin D improved
✓ Folate improved
✓ Vitamin B12 improved
✓ Cholesterol improved
✓ Blood sugar regulation improved

But what matters even more is how they’re feeling day to day.

More energy, better wellbeing, and greater confidence that they’re creating the healthiest possible foundation for conception.

This is why I always look beyond symptoms and focus on the underlying drivers of health. Small, consistent changes can create significant improvements in both health markers and fertility outcomes.

A client came to me recently with PCOS and irregular cycles.

She’d already tried supplements, diet changes, exercise and ovulation tracking.

In our first session, we identified signs that blood sugar dysregulation and under-fuelling were likely contributing to her symptoms.

Instead of adding more supplements, we focused on the underlying patterns.

A few months later, her cycles were more regular and she finally understood why previous approaches hadn’t worked.

This is the work I do in the PCOS Fertility Assessment.

If you've been diagnosed with PCOS and are struggling to conceive, it's easy to assume the diagnosis itself is the problem.

But PCOS is a diagnosis, not an explanation.

Two women can have the same diagnosis and experience completely different underlying drivers affecting ovulation, cycle regularity and fertility. For one woman it may be insulin resistance. For another it may be chronic under-fuelling, inflammation, stress physiology, poor sleep, or a combination of several factors.

This is often why generic advice can feel so frustrating.

The challenge isn't usually a lack of information.

It's knowing which factors are most relevant to your body, and where to focus your efforts first.

That's exactly why I've created the PCOS Fertility Assessment.

In a 60-minute one-to-one consultation, we'll explore your fertility journey, identify the patterns that may be contributing to your symptoms, and create a realistic plan focused on the changes most likely to support your fertility.

After 7 years, my website finally had the refresh it needed.

When I first built it, I was just starting my clinic. Since then, my work has evolved significantly, with a much deeper focus on supporting PCOS and fertility through a functional, root-cause approach.

It started to feel important that the website reflected that more accurately, not just in what I do, but in who I support and how I work.

A big thank you to Jennie @treeduckdesign for bringing it to life so beautifully. It now feels clear, current, and much more aligned with this next chapter of my practice.

If you’d like to have a look, it’s all there to explore.

When PCOS is making it harder to conceive, there are a few patterns I keep seeing in clinic.

Not random. Not isolated.

A connected physiological picture.

Cycles gradually getting longer over time often point towards less consistent ovulation and disrupted follicle development.

Energy crashes after meals frequently sit alongside blood sugar dysregulation, which can influence ovulation quality and hormonal signalling.

Cravings that ramp up before a period are often linked to shifts in insulin sensitivity and the way progesterone is interacting in the luteal phase.

Acne that flares across the cycle is commonly driven by androgen activity, which is often being influenced upstream by metabolic signalling.

And weight gain around the midsection despite “doing everything right” can reflect insulin and cortisol patterns that also affect reproductive hormones.

But none of these are the real story on their own.

The pattern is.

How consistently you’re ovulating, if at all.

How well your hormones are communicating across the cycle.

And what the metabolic environment is doing in the background.

PCOS isn’t just a reproductive condition.

In many cases, fertility is shaped much earlier than ovulation itself, through metabolic and inflammatory signalling that sets the tone for the entire cycle.

3 things I wish more women knew before trying to conceive with PCOS…

You do not need to do everything perfectly.

Missing one workout, eating dessert, or having a stressful week does not “ruin” your fertility.

Consistency matters far more than perfection.

So many women feel like they have to follow the perfect diet, take every supplement, and optimise every part of their routine just to have a chance of conceiving.

But health doesn’t work like a pass-or-fail exam.

The biggest improvements usually come from simple habits repeated consistently over time.

Small changes really do add up.

One week on from the PCOS → PMOS announcement, I think a lot of women are still processing what it actually means for them.

For some, it finally feels like recognition that PCOS is about far more than just the ovaries.

For others, it’s brought confusion, frustration, or overwhelm after years of trying to understand their symptoms.

At the Fertility Show in London last weekend, one thing that stood out to me was the increasing conversation around nutrition, lifestyle and metabolic health as foundational support for PCOS/PMOS, something I hope continues to grow within fertility care.

If all the discussion around PCOS/PMOS has brought up mixed emotions for you, you’re definitely not alone

#PMOS
#PCOSAwareness
#FertilityNutrition
#womenshormonehealth

PCOS being renamed to PMOS feels like a significant step forward in women’s health.

For a long time, we’ve known this condition is about far more than “ovarian cysts”. It’s a complex endocrine and metabolic condition affecting the whole body, from insulin and hormones to mood, skin, ovulation and long-term metabolic health.

A name change alone won’t fix the gaps in diagnosis, support or treatment, but language matters. The words we use shape how conditions are understood, investigated and managed.

Curious to see how this evolves clinically over the coming years, #myova and whether my PCOS programme now needs a rebrand too 👀

I had an amazing day at the Free From Show yesterday.

It was genuinely inspiring to see just how many “free from” options are now available, from everyday foods and snacks, to drinks, and even household and personal care products.

The space in this area has grown so much, and it’s encouraging to see more choice for those navigating food sensitivities and looking to support their health in a more tailored way.

I really enjoyed speaking about all things PCOS and fertility, and sharing more about how we can think about root causes rather than just symptoms.

There were some brilliant questions from the audience around testing, gut health, and what might actually be driving PCOS underneath the surface, exactly the kind of conversations I love having.

Grateful to have been part of such a thoughtful and engaged event, and to connect with so many people who are curious about getting to the root of their health.

As a fertility nutritionist working with PCOS every day, I’m always looking for simple, supportive habits that fit into real life, not just theory.

Lately, I’ve been adding this turmeric drink into my routine. Not as a quick fix or miracle solution, but as part of a wider focus on inflammation, metabolic health, and supporting the body gently alongside food, lifestyle and targeted nutrients.

When you’re juggling work, hormones, stress, and energy levels, consistency matters more than perfection. This is one of those small things that helps me stay anchored in my own routine.

There’s something really powerful about hearing from someone who’s actually been through it.

This is what one of my previous participants Sophie had to say after going through the programme.

This is for women with PCOS who are ready to stop guessing and start understanding what their body actually needs to support conception, in a simple, realistic way that fits into everyday life.

If you’ve been on the fence, just a reminder that the early bird price of £97 ends tomorrow at 5pm, after which it returns to £149.

Here’s why everything you’ve tried for your PCOS hasn’t worked long-term.

Most approaches focus on eating less, cutting out foods, or just being more disciplined.

But PCOS isn’t a willpower issue, it’s a hormonal and metabolic issue.

If you’re not addressing things like insulin resistance, blood sugar balance, and your individual drivers, results either don’t happen, or they don’t last.

So it’s not that you haven’t tried hard enough, it’s that you’ve been missing the right approach.

Inside PCOS to Pregnancy, we focus on exactly that, so you’re not stuck guessing anymore.

The early bird price has been extended for the next 48 hours only!

Many women with PCOS are told to “cut carbs” without understanding the bigger picture.

The right carbohydrates, combined with protein, fibre, and healthy fats, are actually essential for supporting ovulation, stabilising blood sugar, and nourishing your gut.

Carbs aren’t the enemy , it’s the balance that matters. When your meals support your metabolism and hormone health, energy improves, cravings reduce, and cycles often become more regular.

If your cycle hasn’t shifted despite restrictive diets, it’s not a lack of effort, it’s a matter of strategy.

Turmeric is one of those ingredients I come back to again and again for its anti-inflammatory support, especially when it comes to hormone health, skin and overall wellbeing.

This is one of the staples in my morning routine. It’s quick, convenient, and an easy way to add in something supportive without overthinking it.

I like this one from @theturmericco #because it uses raw turmeric and includes collagen too, so it’s supporting more than just inflammation, think skin, joints and recovery as well.

Small habits like this aren’t everything on their own, but they can be a helpful piece of the bigger picture.

AMH can feel like a defining number when you’re trying to conceive, especially if you’ve been told it’s “low”.

But it’s important to understand what it is (and what it isn’t).

You can’t increase the number of eggs you have.
But you can influence the environment those eggs develop in.

This is where we focused, and where we saw change.

If you want to understand what actually moves the needle when it comes to hormones and fertility, I’m covering this in my upcoming workshop.

The plastic detox documentary on Netflix @unplasticyourlife has come up in clinic a few times this week, and it got me thinking about fertility.

This isn’t just about “detoxing.” It’s about hormones, reproductive health, and the environment we live in.

Lower sperm counts, more hormonal disruption, and rising fertility struggles aren’t happening in isolation, they’re part of a bigger picture.

Dr. Shanna Swan, author of Count Down, has been highlighting this for years. And yet, we still accept constant exposure to chemicals that may affect fertility as “normal.”

For me, this isn’t about fear. It’s about awareness , and starting to question what we’ve been told is normal.

I’ve been trialling a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) from @sibionics_cgm and seeing my blood sugar in real time has been eye-opening!

After my breakfast my blood glucose went up to 6. I then did a 10-minute walk, and it dropped back to normal surprisingly quickly.

On days I didn’t walk, it took much longer to come down. For people with PCOS, simple habits like a short post-meal walk can make a difference, but everyone responds differently, which is why a CGM is such a useful tool.

This is my experience, your body may respond in its own unique way. Seeing it for yourself can help you find what works best for you!
