LONDON FERTILITY,PREGNANCY& IVF NUTRITIONIST

“I found out I had a low egg reserve and immediately panicked about my future fertility options. At this point I began researching egg freezing and decided it was the right choice for me. I went through one round, which was unsuccessful as I didn’t respond well to the stimulation treatment. I felt a bit lost at this point and started to think children weren’t going to be an option for me. This is when I began looking into nutrition and lifestyle factors to improve my odds. I found Gail online and we immediately clicked. She had gone through her own fertility journey and I knew she understood the lows that came with that. I always thought of myself as pretty healthy, but I didn’t realise how many factors can play into egg health and ultimately affect their quality. Gail gave me the knowledge to make lasting changes to my diet. She was so adaptable in her approach and continually modified my plan to suit me and make me more compliant.

I had also consistently suffered with low iron levels and a subsequent lack of energy since my childhood. Gail ensured I was eating enough across my daily meals by regularly reviewing my food intake and giving me tips on ways to get more into my diet and improve its absorption. I started to feel a difference almost straight away, which really gave me confidence the diet plan was working. On top of this, I learnt how to support my body through exercise. Instead of doing more damage with repetitive gruelling exercises that were elevating my stress levels, I began to listen to what my body was telling me and started to take care of my mind, which was transformational. 

When it came to the egg collection, I felt prepared and empowered by my knowledge and armed with questions to get the correct advice from my healthcare provider. The treatment was successful and they managed to retrieve 8 healthy eggs, which I was so happy with given the past failed round. I am due to go through a final egg collection early this year and Gail continues to support me in preparation. She has been such a beneficial resource and I’m so grateful for all the advice she has shared”.
