    EF#64: The Foundation of Fertility: Understanding Cellular Hydration
    Nov 12 2025
    In this episode, I explore the critical role of cellular hydration as the foundational first step in the seven naturopathic steps to treatment to optimise health. Join me as I talk about why proper hydration goes far beyond just drinking water, how chronic dehydration impacts inflammation, hormone balance, and fertility at the cellular level, and the three progressive stages to restoring optimal hydration in your body. I'll unpack the science behind cellular hydration, explain why your cholesterol might actually be a dehydration response, and provide insights and actionable tips to help you build the foundation your body needs to reduce inflammation, support hormone balance, and optimise your fertility journey. A number of actionable tips were discussed including how to recognise signs of chronic dehydration, which foods and drinks are secretly dehydrating you, the proper omega-3 to omega-6 ratio for reducing inflammation, how to implement the three-stage hydration protocol, and why you should consider taking a break from supplements while you establish proper hydration.

  • EF#62: Infertility Awareness Week: My Unspoken Fertility Struggles & Lessons of Support for Your Loved Ones

    EF#62: Infertility Awareness Week: My Unspoken Fertility Struggles & Lessons of Support for Your Loved Ones
    Apr 23 2025

    In Episode 62, I dive into the emotional reality of infertility during UK Infertility Awareness Week. Join me as I share an impromptu recording on the beach of my personal feelings around my journey through both primary and secondary infertility spanning nine years, including my endometriosis diagnosis, fertility treatments, and the emotional toll this journey has taken. I also provide valuable guidance for friends and family members who want to support loved ones experiencing fertility challenges but may not know how to approach these sensitive conversations.

    EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

    • My personal and raw story of nine years trying to conceive

    • The emotional impact of both primary and secondary infertility

    • The financial and relationship challenges that come with prolonged fertility struggles

    • How ageism affects the fertility journey

    • The importance of following your gut instinct when seeking treatment

    ACTIONABLE TIPS FOR SUPPORTING SOMEONE THROUGH INFERTILITY:

    • Just listen without trying to "fix" their situation

    • Avoid sharing success stories of people who got pregnant through various means

    • Check in regularly, but respect boundaries if they need space

    • Be mindful about sharing pregnancy news or complaining about your children

    • Don't ask for updates about their fertility journey - let them share when ready

    • Remember dates that might be difficult (due dates from losses, anniversary of failed treatments)

    • Include them in activities even if other pregnant people or children will be there

    • Avoid asking "Do you have children?" as a first question when meeting someone new

    • Never respond with silence when someone shares their fertility struggles

    • Don't use phrases like "just the one?" about family size

    Remember, if you're going through infertility, you are not alone. This episode serves as a reminder that while infertility may be common, the emotional journey is deeply personal, and support from understanding friends and family can make all the difference.
