Nutrition and your Fertility Journey

As we enter the new year when many of us begin to look at our health and nutrition we are delighted to be joined by Mel Brown, Nutritional Therapist, Specialist in Fertility, IVF and Pregnancy. The session discusses the most important things to consider with nutrition and how it can make a difference. We look at when you should start your fertility nutrition journey, the ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’, supplements and, other things outside of nutrition to consider such as mental health/fitness, to do in line with a nutrition plan.

Melanie Brown specialises in pre conceptual and pregnancy nutrition, and helping you to prepare for pregnancy. Mel’s two decades of experience working with doctors, gynaecologists, urologists, midwives and IVF specialists has given me a unique insight into the process of fertility treatment, and an understanding and empathy of how being unable to conceive affects the whole of your life. She is not a hard core kill joy; she enjoys wine, chocolate, roast potatoes and croissants. She wants client to feel that they are adding good things to their diet, not taking them away and generally making life a misery! She believes that by giving clients a rationale, so they can understand why some things are not so great for you, this makes it much easier to adapt to new, healthier habits.
