Soluble Vs Insoluble fibre, what is the difference?

Dietary fibre, is made up of two main types. Soluble fibre which easily dissolves in water and is broken down into a gel-like substance in the part of the gut known as the colon. However, Insoluble fibre does not dissolve in water and is left intact as food moves through the gastrointestinal tract.

Soluble fibre is fibre found mainly in plant cells. Good sources of soluble fibre include fruits and vegetables, dried beans, peas, lentils, oat bran, barley, seed husks, flaxseed, psyllium and soy products.
Insoluble fibre makes up the structural parts of the plant cell walls. Good sources include the skins of fruit and vegetables, dried beans, nuts, seeds and wholegrain foods.

Hello 👋 I’m Voula, thank you so much for following my page!

A few random facts about me:

1. I have worked as a dietitian for over 20years 😄

2. My partner and I decided to get a fur baby as we were told our chances of conception were low..

3. I had my first baby aged 37 and my twin boys at 39.
4. My twin boys are monochorionic twins (identical twins that share the same placenta).

5. My twin pregnancy was high risk, as at 16weeks I was diagnosed with twin to twin transfer syndrome... that was a TOUGH journey both mentally and physically...thank you for being the best obstetrician and for the life saving procedure you performed!

6. I love working with couples who are trying to conceive and sharing my knowledge with them!

I work with both men and women who are trying to conceive by optimising their nutrition to give them the best possible chance to conceive and progress to a healthy pregnancy.

S***m and egg quality is vital for a healthy embryo.

If you have a condition that affects your fertility, such as Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS), Endometriosis, Coeliac Disease, Diabetes, and Thyroid Disease, then it is extremely important that you improve your chance of conceiving by ensuring these conditions are managed both medically and with a specific dietary approach.

I started this page as I wanted to create a place that offers support for all couples who are thinking of starting a family or for those couples going through the stress of infertility. I will also be here to to provide you with credible information and a safe place where you can ask questions or share your journey.

True or False?

Unfortunately it’s not true !! However as I say……

No harm in trying 😊but when it comes to s*x positions, no study has confirmed that one position is more effective than any other in achieving pregnancy.

In each male or**sm, hundreds of millions of s***m are released, so any unprotected s*x around the time of ovulation could result in pregnancy.

My advise? choose a position that is both comfortable and pleasurable for you x

Fertility Nutrition Tip of the Day:
Opt for Plant-Based Protein!
 Swap out some animal proteins for plant-based options like beans, lentils, tofu, and quinoa. Think vibrant veggies, healthy fats, and lean proteins — the ultimate fertility fuel. Start with a rainbow of greens and colorful produce to supercharge your hormones, and add omega-rich foods like walnuts and edamame beans 🫘
Swap refined carbs for whole grains and don’t forget the mighty folate from leafy greens and beans for an extra fertility boost. It’s not just about eating; it’s about eating smart to nourish your body’s baby-making magic!

Yep 👍 you heard right sleep is one of them@👏

So let’s break it down …
Wanting@to boost metabolism ?
Follow these steps
…..❤️

1. Increase muscle mass 💪🏽

Increasing resistance training is a great way of boosting metabolism. After all muscle is more metabolically active than fat!

2. Drink enough water 💦

It is super important to stay hydrated and necessary for optimal metabolism

3. Sleep 😴

When you don’t get enough sleep, your body releases a hormone called ghrelin which makes you feel hungry. It also does not release enough of the hormone called leptin which makes you feel full. When these hormones are not balanced you’re more likely to overeat during the day.

4. Eating regular meals

Your body needs balance so if you’re someone who might overeat and then go for long periods of time without eating, your body may burn calories more slowly.

5. Spicy food 🌶

One of my favorite! capsaicin (a compound in chillies) can increase your metabolism, so enjoy your spice in life 😉

DM me for further information, especially if you’re embarking on a weight loss journey x

Want to improve implantation success 🙋‍♀️??
Yes yes yes 🙌 well this recipe 👆is a MUST save!

Beetroot contains nitric oxide, which helps dilate blood vessels, allowing nutrient-rich blood to flow to the uterus. Consuming this juice during embryo transfer day may actually improve implantation of your embryo to your uterus!

Depending on what consistency you like you can add some water when blending & I prefer my juice served on ice 😋

Omega-3 Fats: Essential for Your Health and Fertility!

Omega-3 is a type of polyunsaturated fat often referred to as “good fat.” It’s essential for our bodies, but since we can’t produce it ourselves, we need to include it in our diet.

Omega-3 fats play a vital role in numerous bodily functions and are closely linked to optimising fertility. They enhance s***m motility, improve egg health, and are crucial during pregnancy for fetal development.

To boost your fertility, I prioritise omega-3 intake when customising your plan.
