Supplement Review
Choosing the correct supplements and knowing if you even need to take any can be a complete minefield. There are also big differences in the quality and purity of many supplements on the market - if you're taking them you want to ensure you're taking the best for you and they're actually doing what they should. If you are trying to conceive then supplements are extremely important, but there is so much misinformation out there knowing exactly what you should be taking is again a complete minefield. If you're on medications supplements may be necessary to help replenish what they are depleting....BUT interactions between the two should ALWAYS be checked to ensure the supplements are not negatively impacting your medications. Your safety is paramount. Includes: 1 x 45 minute consultation 1 x 15 minute check-in call 6 weeks following consultation Supplement plan

Couples 3 Month Fertility Nutritional Therapy Program
The ultimate program where I work with you both to optimise egg and sperm quality through nutritional and lifestyle changes. Why both of you? It takes two to make a baby, and sperm health is just as important as egg health, affecting not just conception but reducing miscarriage risk and the health of your baby both in childhood and adulthood too. Working with you both gives us the best possible chance of success. Why 3 months? It takes 3 months for eggs to mature and sperm to regenerate and mature. We use this vital time to improve the quality of both to maximise your chances of conception, whether you are trying to conceive naturally or through fertility treatment. During our time together, I put on my detective hat and thoroughly analyse what may be impacting your fertility. For example, are your hormones balanced and working as they should? Are there any nutrient deficiencies working against you? We ensure your gut health is optimal. Are there any toxins from your day-to-day that we can reduce or eliminate? We also work to improve sleep, manage stress, and so much more. I may suggest functional testing, which isn’t available through your GP and often not through fertility clinics either. Tests we may consider range from microbiome testing (including gut, vaginal and seminal), sperm DNA fragmentation, in-depth hormone testing, nutrient deficiencies, mineral analysis and more. However, recommendations are tailored specifically to you and your needs, I never adopt a blanket approach and test factors that are unnecessary. It’s a full and complete pre-conception care programme to enhance your fertility. Includes: 1 x 2 hour initial consultation with you both. 6 x 45 minute follow-up consultations every 2 weeks. Unlimited messaging support to guide you through this process. Extensive case analysis with scientific-based research. Personalised nutrition & lifestyle plans, updated at each consultation. Access to extensive resources from handouts, recipes and meal plans. Supplement plan for both, if required, with a 10% discount from the Natural Dispensary. Testing analysis and support - both NHS and private functional testing.
