Nutrition plays a HUGE role in the creation of life and the health of both mum and baby. In this episode and just 4 days before I gave birth to my first daughter, Nova, I  spoke to fellow dietitian Stefanie Valakas on a very broad range of topics from  Preconception, Pregnancy, Postpartum and Fertility Concerns. In this episode we talk about common factors affecting fertility including HA, PCOS and endometriosis. We also look at the role the male plays in fertility, chat about miscarriage and IVF. Stefanie Valakas, also known as The Dietologist, is an expert fertility dietitian & nutritionist.  Stefanie runs her virtual nutrition practice from her Sydney home and loves to help women and couples trying to conceive enhance their fertility through scientific nutrition recommendations.  Stefanie not only works with clients one-on-one but has recently launched online programs to help reach and support more women during the COVID-19 pandemic.  You can visit her website at https://thedietologist.com.au/ You can find Stefanie on all social media platforms @the_dietologist, listen to her podcast, Fertility Friendly Food, and check out her new Instagram profile @endo.dietitian to learn about all things nutrition for endometriosis.
