Does diet in the two week wait actually make a difference? Is beetroot juice backed by science, or just TikTok folklore? Pineapple core, Brazil nuts, French fries... can anything you eat actually help an embryo implant?
On this episode of Too Much Information, Issy is joined by returning guest, fertility and pregnancy nutritionist Jen Walpole, to separate food myths from the real evidence around implantation.
Together, we're diving deep into what the (small but real) evidence actually says about diet and implantation, and where the internet's favourite fertility hacks fall apart.
Expect science-backed tips combined with Jen's own personal experience of recurrent implantation failure. Plus, permission to stop blaming yourself if it doesn't work this time.
We'll be answering the questions:
💭 What happens during implantation?
🥗 What should you be eating if you have endometriosis or adenomyosis?
💊 Which supplements actually matter?
🤢 What can you eat when healthy eating feels impossible?
☕ Should you cut out caffeine and alcohol completely during an embryo transfer?
If you're trying to conceive naturally or through IVF and want to know what's worth trying (and what you can let go of), this episode is for you.
