Nourish Your Fertility

Evidence-based fertility nutrition — made for women doing this alone.

Trying to conceive or preparing for fertility treatment can feel overwhelming — especially when you're navigating it completely on your own.

There are appointments to book, supplements to consider, and decisions to make at every turn. And most of the advice out there is written for couples. Not for you.

Here's what most women aren't told upfront:

Your eggs take around 100 days to fully mature.

That means what you eat, how you sleep, how you manage stress, and which supplements you take right now can directly influence the egg quality in your next cycle. That's not a warning. It's an invitation.

This guide was created from an in-depth conversation with fertility dietitian Lara Mathers — who came to this field through her own experience freezing her eggs at 35. It's not generic wellness advice. It's specific, evidence-based, and built for the solo mum context — including what to eat, what to take, what to avoid, and how to support your body when you're doing all of this alone.

Inside the Guide You’ll Find:

  • The Mediterranean diet explained — why it's the most researched dietary pattern for fertility and what it actually looks like day to day

  • The truth about omega-3s — and why they're literally a structural part of your egg

  • What to eat in the lead-up to your transfer to support implantation (including beetroot, and why it works)

  • A complete supplement reference — what to take, who needs it, why, and critically: when to take each one so they don't compete for absorption

  • Specific guidance if you're over 40, vegetarian, or vegan

  • What to stop and what to continue once you get a positive test

  • Lara's honest answer to the McDonald's chips question (the one every IVF woman is thinking)

Whether you're preparing to start treatment, mid-cycle, or in your two-week wait — this guide meets you where you are.

Join thousands of women navigating solo motherhood — better informed, less alone.
