In this episode of the Egg Whisper Show, I’m joined by Judy Simon and Dr. Angela Thyer to discuss how to support fertility through dietary choices. They share the insights they also teach in their program 'Food for Fertility,' the benefits of plant-based diets, and how specific nutrition can aid women and men on their fertility journey. Additionally, they delve into common misconceptions about certain foods and fertility, and offer practical advice for integrating healthy eating habits into daily life.

And! Judy and Dr. Thyer also have a new book out, "Getting to Baby: A Food-First Fertility Plan to Improve Your Odds and Shorten Your Time to Pregnancy." I can't wait to have back on the show to talk about all about this amazing book. You can find it here: https://angelathyermd.com/getting-to-baby-book/⁠
