10/18/23 • 23 min
TW: This episode covers the topic of pregnancy loss. If this is not something you feel you should listen to today please skip this episode and listen to one of our previous episodes on Fertility Friendly Food! If you need support, please seek the advice of your GP or contact The Pink Elephant Support Network.Did you know that in 2020, more than half of the first-time mums were in their 30s? This is a far cry from 15% before 1981, 23% in 1991, an even higher than just over 10 years ago in 2011, where 43% of first time mums were in their 30s. Factors like education, careers, finances, relationships, and housing markets (looking at you, Sydney!) contribute to this trend.
But, here's the kicker – our biology couldn't care less about all that.
As fertility rates gradually decline with age, it's crucial to understand fertility in your 30s. So, in today's episode, I dive into the top tips to prepare your body for pregnancy in your 30s. We're diving into stats, facts, modifiable factors, and of course, some nutrition foundations to fuel your exciting baby-making journey.

Practical Tips to Recover Your Period with Hypothalamic Amenorrhoea with Sarah Liz King | Episode 115
TRIGGER WARNING: Eating disorders, disordered eating and body image concerns are discussed. If you need support, please seek the advice of your GP or contact the Butterfly Foundation 1800 33 46 73.
Welcome back to Fertility Friendly Food, the Podcast! In this episode, we revisit the topic of Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA) with our special guest, Accredited Exercise Physiologist and health coach, Sarah King. If you missed our previous episode with Sarah on HA, we've linked it in the show notes for you.
You can find Sarah on Instagram at @sarahlizking or visit her website for more info on her work in this space.
Hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) is responsible for around 30% of cases of secondary amenorrhea in women of reproductive age.
In this episode, we delve into the topic of HA, clarifying what it is and dispelling common myths, like the misconception that it only affects individuals in smaller bodies or with eating disorders.
At The Dietologist, we often see people with HA struggle to seek support because the solutions seem simple in theory: eat more, move less, and manage stress. However, we explore the complexities and barriers people face when trying to implement these changes, which can be rooted in body image issues, diet culture, eating disorders, habits, and fear of weight gain.
Sarah shares practical strategies that have worked well for her clients in each aspect of HA management: nutrition, exercise, and stress.
