How Your Genetics Impact Your Fertility with Nicole Jardim.
I recently had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the wonderful Nicole Jardim on her Fix Your Period podcast, which you might also know as The Period Party. If you know me at all, you know I’m not about gatekeeping information or using dry, stuffy language. My aim is always to help you elevate your practice with the kind of real-world clinical rigour that makes a genuine difference to the families you work with.
We had such a brilliant, lively conversation about one of my absolute favourite areas to investigate: the profound connection between genetics, targeted nutrition, and overall fertility. It’s an area that can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming, but we broke it down into practical, actionable steps. We got really stuck into the MTHFR gene mutation and what it actually means for a client's ability to conceive and maintain a healthy pregnancy.
We also had a very honest chat about the male factor. I talked about why we simply have to start bringing men into these fertility conversations much earlier, rather than leaving the entire clinical burden on the female partner. Plus, we discussed how to build truly personalised, effective nutrition protocols based directly on a client’s specific genetic testing results.
Having worked exclusively in complex fertility cases in the UK for over eighteen years, I’ve seen exactly where standard nutritional training tends to leave off, especially when it comes to interpreting complex genetic panels and designing tailored protocols. I didn't want to see talented practitioners holding back simply because they lacked that advanced clinical confidence.
TThat is precisely why I built the AH Fertility Academy. I wanted to create a mentoring space that goes far beyond the basic textbooks. When you join, you get me in your corner. I personally mentor everyone who signs up, using a really supportive blend of interactive group classes and dedicated 1-2-1 sessions. We don't just dive deep into the clinical science; I actively help you develop your business, giving you the tools to build a highly respected, sustainable clinic of your own.
If you're ready to get more confident with genetics and personalised protocols, grab a cuppa and have a listen to the episode! Let’s get you thinking outside the box and helping more clients finally have their babies.
