Episode 118: Male Fertility: What No One Tells Men Before Having a Baby
When it comes to preparing for pregnancy, why is almost all the focus on women?
Male factors contribute to around 40–50% of fertility challenges, yet men's preconception health is often overlooked.
In this episode, Kirsty and Nicole dive into everything you need to know about men's preconception care, from the importance of sperm health to the simple nutrition and lifestyle changes that can make a difference before trying to conceive.
We cover:
Why preconception care should start at least 3 months before trying for a baby
The best foods, nutrients and supplements to support sperm health
How alcohol, stress, sleep and exercise can influence male fertility
The impact of environmental toxins and everyday habits on sperm quality
What fertility testing men should consider
Common male fertility myths, busted!
The biggest takeaway? Preparing for pregnancy isn't just a woman's responsibility. Sperm health matters too, and what men do in the months leading up to conception can make a difference.
Whether you're planning for a baby now or in the future, this is an episode every couple should listen to!

Episode 117: The Truth About Ovulation, Cycle Length & Your Fertile Window
Do you actually know if you ovulated last month? 👀
Most of us were taught how to track our period, but not how to understand what’s happening throughout the rest of our cycle.
In this episode, Kirsty and Nicole break down ovulation and cycle tracking in a way that actually makes sense — whether you’re trying to conceive or simply want to better understand your hormones.
We chat about what a “normal” cycle really looks like, why ovulation doesn’t always happen on Day 14, and the different signs and tools you can use to track it — from cervical mucus and LH strips to basal body temperature, wearables and progesterone testing.
We also cover anovulatory cycles, your fertile window, when cycle changes might be worth investigating, and why a “Day 21 progesterone test” isn’t right for everyone.
Because understanding your cycle isn’t just about fertility — it’s about understanding your body.

Episode 116: Is Your Acne Hormonal - or Is Something Else Driving It? Part 2
Acne isn’t just about hormones your skin microbiome, stress levels and what you’re eating can all play a role too. 🤎
In Part 2 of our acne series, we continue looking beyond the breakout itself and dive deeper into some of the factors that may be contributing to inflammation and influencing your skin.
We discuss:
Why your skin microbiome matters and why Cutibacterium acnes isn’t simply a “bad” bacteria we need to eliminate
The connection between stress, cortisol, sleep, blood sugar and acne
Why shift work, overtraining and relying on caffeine to push through exhaustion may be relevant to your skin
Key nutrients for skin health, including zinc, vitamins A, C, D and E, selenium and omega-3 fats
The foundations of an anti-inflammatory, skin-supportive diet
How we approach persistent acne in clinical practice from nutrition and lifestyle foundations through to blood pathology, hormones and functional testing where appropriate
Because nutrition is such an important foundation, we take you behind the thinking that went into our Acne Series inside the Wellness Hub app with recipes specifically curated to make eating for your skin simple, nourishing and realistic.
If you’ve changed your skincare, removed foods and tried supplement after supplement but your acne keeps returning, it may be time to look at the bigger picture.
🎧 Listen to Part 2 now.
