AMH can feel like a defining number when you’re trying to conceive, especially if you’ve been told it’s “low”.

But it’s important to understand what it is (and what it isn’t).

You can’t increase the number of eggs you have.
But you can influence the environment those eggs develop in.

This is where we focused, and where we saw change.

If you want to understand what actually moves the needle when it comes to hormones and fertility, I’m covering this in my upcoming workshop.

The plastic detox documentary on Netflix has come up in clinic a few times this week, and it got me thinking about fertility.

This isn’t just about “detoxing.” It’s about hormones, reproductive health, and the environment we live in.

Lower s***m counts, more hormonal disruption, and rising fertility struggles aren’t happening in isolation, they’re part of a bigger picture.

Dr. Shanna Swan, author of Count Down, has been highlighting this for years. And yet, we still accept constant exposure to chemicals that may affect fertility as “normal.”

For me, this isn’t about fear. It’s about awareness , and starting to question what we’ve been told is normal.

I’ve been trialling a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) from and seeing my blood sugar in real time has been eye-opening!

After my breakfast my blood glucose went up to 6. I then did a 10-minute walk, and it dropped back to normal surprisingly quickly.

On days I didn’t walk, it took much longer to come down. For people with PCOS, simple habits like a short post-meal walk can make a difference, but everyone responds differently, which is why a CGM is such a useful tool.

This is my experience, your body may respond in its own unique way. Seeing it for yourself can help you find what works best for you!

Do I need a protein powder to support my fertility or manage PCOS?

This is a question that came up in clinic recently, and the answer might surprise you.

For most people, it is absolutely possible to meet your protein needs through food alone.

Eggs, fish, poultry, dairy, legumes, nuts, and seeds all provide the building blocks your body needs to support hormone production, blood sugar balance, and egg quality.

However, there are certain times when protein powders can be helpful. For example, if you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, have higher protein needs due to exercise, or are going through fertility treatment, where the body’s demands increase.

If you do choose to use a protein powder, quality matters. Many contain emulsifiers and sweeteners that can disrupt blood sugar balance and negatively impact the gut microbiome.

Protein powders can be a useful addition, but they should complement a wholefood diet, not replace it. Your foundation should always be real, nutrient-dense food.

Comment below: Do you use protein powders or get all your protein from food?

Morning light is one of the simplest ways to support your hormones, and it costs nothing.

When natural light hits your eyes early in the day, it anchors your circadian rhythm, the internal clock that regulates sleep, cortisol, blood sugar and reproductive hormones.

That rhythm matters more than many people realise.

Ovulation relies on clear signalling between the brain and ovaries. Sleep influences progesterone. Cortisol affects insulin. And in PCOS, where we often see disrupted blood sugar control and altered stress patterns, circadian misalignment can quietly add to the load.

One of the easiest ways to support this?

Have your breakfast in the garden.

Even 10–15 minutes of natural light while you eat can help set your rhythm for the day. It’s a small habit that supports better sleep at night, steadier energy, and more stable hormonal signalling over time.

Light and nourishment together are powerful. Not extreme. Not complicated. Just consistent.

Your thyroid plays a central role in energy, metabolism, mood and overall hormone balance, yet it’s often overlooked when we talk about recovery.

Supporting it doesn’t have to be complicated. A few key nutrients make a real difference:

• Selenium (2–3 Brazil nuts daily)
• Iodine (white fish and eggs)
• Zinc (pumpkin seeds, almonds, oats, buckwheat)
• Vitamin A (small amounts of organic or grass-fed liver)

But nourishment isn’t just about nutrients.

Chronic stress and excessive high-intensity exercise can suppress thyroid function over time.

If you’re constantly pushing through fatigue, your body may be asking for a different approach.

This week, think gentle.

Prioritise recovery.

Eat consistently.

Manage stress.

Support your body rather than forcing it.

Small, consistent changes create hormonal balance.

Save this for later if thyroid health is something you’re working on.

One of the biggest myths I see with PCOS is that carbs are the enemy.

PCOS is often linked with insulin resistance, so it’s understandable why many women feel they need to remove carbohydrates completely. But the solution isn’t elimination, it’s regulation.

When we drastically cut carbs, we can see short-term improvements in blood sugar. But long term? It can increase stress hormones, disrupt thyroid function, reduce fibre intake, and make eating feel restrictive and unsustainable.

Carbohydrates play an important role in:

• Supporting stable energy
• Feeding the gut microbiome
• Providing key nutrients
• Supporting ovulation when overall intake is adequate

The key is how you build the meal.

When I have porridge, I don’t just have oats on their own. I reduce the oat portion slightly and add protein and healthy fats to slow glucose release and improve satiety. This helps blunt the blood sugar spike and keeps me full until lunch.

PCOS management isn’t about removing foods.

It’s about building balanced meals that work with your physiology.

If porridge spikes you, we adjust it.

If it works for you, we optimise it.

That’s a very different mindset from “carbs are bad”.

What’s your current go-to breakfast?

Getting ill recently really caught me off guard. I don’t tend to get unwell often, so when my energy dipped and my appetite disappeared, I had to think differently about how to support my body.

When food felt like too much, an immunity turmeric shot was one small thing I could tolerate and stay consistent with. It felt gentle, manageable, and supportive while my body recovered at its own pace.

I now keep these as part of my routine, especially during busy or higher-stress periods, not as a quick fix, but as a simple way to support my body long-term.

Once I started supporting my body properly, everything shifted.

Cycles returned. Symptoms became manageable. Energy improved. Stress eased. And I finally felt in control of my fertility.

That experience inspired me to train as a Nutritional Therapist, so I could help others achieve the same transformation.

Supporting your hormones, nutrition, and lifestyle can be the foundation for natural conception or successful fertility treatment, and the changes often go far beyond fertility.
