Description

Welcome back to Season Two of The Fertility Dietitian Podcast!

In this episode, we're breaking down how to improve egg quality naturally — using evidence-based nutrition, lifestyle habits, and key supplements to support your fertility health.

You'll learn how your mitochondria, oxidative stress, and immune system directly impact egg quality and reproductive longevity, and what you can start doing today to strengthen your fertility foundation.

If you've been told that you *can't* change your egg quality — this episode will show you why that's outdated, and how real science says otherwise.

"When mitochondrial outputs drop, eggs struggle with spindle formation, chromosomal segregation, and early embryo development." - Brooke Boskovich

 

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

  • How mitochondrial health drives egg quality and fertility potential
  • Why oxidative stress can damage eggs — and how to lower it
  • The link between the immune system and ovarian health
  • Nutrition and lifestyle changes that boost fertility
  • The most effective egg-quality supplements (CoQ10, melatonin, NAC, inositol)
  • How sleep, exercise, and stress balance improve reproductive health

 

Supplements Mentioned:

  • CoQ10 (Ubiquinol form)
  • Myo-Inositol
  • Melatonin
  • NAC (N-acetyl cysteine)
  • Omega-3 fatty acids
  • Polyphenol-rich foods: berries, pomegranate, olive oil, cocoa, herbs, green tea
