Can you believe it's almost the silly season already?

Now, over here at The Dietologist, we get it. The holidays can stir up a whirlwind of emotions, especially when those well-meaning friends and family members just can't resist asking the age-old question: "When are you having a baby?" Tis also the season when our DMs start blowing up with messages like,  "Help! Another year's gone by, and my baby plans are still MIA!"

The holidays are awesome, no doubt about it. There's more freedom, time to relax, parties galore, mouthwatering dishes, and, of course, drinks!

But hold onto your Santa hats because here's the holiday plot twist: If your goal is to ring in the new year with fertile intentions, it's time for you and your partner to be on top of your diet and lifestyle game.

So, while we're all about embracing the holiday spirit, let's not forget to be a bit mindful about what's going into our bellies. Tune in to this episode for some nifty tips on how to juggle the holiday festivities while keeping your baby-making plans in mind.

In your 40s, conceiving can be undeniably more challenging, but seeking early support is key. Whilst it isn't impossible, it is important to have healthy expectations and a plan in place!
 
In this episode, I'll talk about modifiable factors when it comes to fertility (because we can't change our age!) and the importance of a support team, including mental health professionals, nutrition experts, and a reliable doctor.

Did you know that in 2020, more than half of the first-time mums were in their 30s? This is a far cry from 15% before 1981, 23% in 1991, an even higher than just over 10 years ago in 2011, where 43% of first time mums were in their 30s. Factors like education, careers, finances, relationships, and housing markets (looking at you, Sydney!) contribute to this trend.

But, here's the kicker – our biology couldn't care less about all that.

As fertility rates gradually decline with age, it's crucial to understand fertility in your 30s. So, in today's episode, I dive into the top tips to prepare your body for pregnancy in your 30s. We're diving into stats, facts, modifiable factors, and of course,  some nutrition foundations to fuel your exciting baby-making journey.

Welcome back to Fertility Friendly Food, the Podcast! In this episode, we revisit the topic of Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA) with our special guest, Accredited Exercise Physiologist and health coach, Sarah King. If you missed our previous episode with Sarah on HA, we've linked it in the show notes for you.

You can find Sarah on Instagram at @sarahlizking  or visit her website for more info on her work in this space.

Hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) is responsible for around 30% of cases of secondary amenorrhea in women of reproductive age.

In this episode, we delve into the topic of HA, clarifying what it is and dispelling common myths, like the misconception that it only affects individuals in smaller bodies or with eating disorders.

At The Dietologist, we often see people with HA struggle to seek support because the solutions seem simple in theory: eat more, move less, and manage stress. However, we explore the complexities and barriers people face when trying to implement these changes, which can be rooted in body image issues, diet culture, eating disorders, habits, and fear of weight gain.

Sarah shares practical strategies that have worked well for her clients in each aspect of HA management: nutrition, exercise, and stress.
