Fertility, diet and alcohol: “It's about variety, not depriving yourself"

Is there a “safe” amount of alcohol if I’m TTC? Can nutrition improve egg and sperm quality? Should I cut out coffee? What's the best diet if I'm trying to have a baby?

On this episode of Too Much Information, Issy sits down with Jen Walpole, a registered nutritionist specialising in fertility nutrition. Together, they discuss why balance matters more than perfection and bust some of the most common myths surrounding fertility, diet and alcohol.

Jen brings both professional expertise and lived experience, sharing her own fertility journey alongside guidance on how what we eat and drink really impacts egg and sperm quality.

Expect evidence-based advice, practical tips, and honest reassurance for anyone looking to optimise their fertility.
