Lacey is a fertility nutritionist who helps women boost their egg quality and increase their chances of getting pregnant, staying pregnant, and increasing IVF success. Understanding Egg Quality - What It Is and Why It Matters Egg quality is crucial for women trying to conceive, but it can be influenced by various factors such as age, genetics, and lifestyle habits. Lacey explains the definition of egg quality and why it's important to seek the help of a fertility nutritionist to improve it. 5 Key Ways to Boost Egg Quality Naturally Through Diet Lacey shares five practical tips for improving egg quality naturally through diet and nutrition, including incorporating antioxidant-rich foods, taking quality prenatal supplements, and getting essential nutrients like zinc, selenium, and iodine. She also discusses the top three foods for boosting egg quality: berries for antioxidants, eggs for choline, and brazil nuts for selenium. Additionally, she talks about the benefits of seaweed for iodine and mushrooms for vitamin D. Lifestyle Habits That Can Affect Your Egg Certain lifestyle habits can impact egg quality, such as sleep, sunlight exposure, and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals and plastics. Lacey provides tips and strategies for improving sleep quality, getting enough vitamin D through sunlight exposure or supplementation, and reducing exposure to harmful chemicals and plastics. Lacey emphasizes the importance of seeking the help of a fertility nutritionist or other healthcare provider if you're struggling to conceive or want to improve your chances of getting pregnant. She concludes by summarizing the key takeaways and actionable tips for improving egg quality naturally through diet and lifestyle habits.

| Using stairs in pregnancy | 30 Aug 2022 | 00:14:33 | |
Can I use stairs in pregnancy? This was a question sent to me via DM on Instagram @fitnestmama, and I thought that it might be a good question to do a podcast topic on. Pregnancy can be an exciting time, but it might also feel like a time when you are googling everything. And, the question around the safety of climbing stairs during pregnancy is relatively common. So if you’re pregnant, perhaps you have lots of stairs at home. Or perhaps you have been finding it difficult to climb stairs. Or perhaps you are just curious about the answer, then this is for you.

| Hormones, Birth & Recovery {from 100 podcast episodes} | 18 Jul 2022 | 00:15:59 | |
Well hello there, welcome to our 100th episode of the FitNest Mama Podcast! I’m really excited by today’s episode, because, for something a bit different, I am going to discuss my 3 biggest takeaways from doing these 100 podcast episodes. So from all the guest speakers we’ve had on board, I am going to share my 3 biggest ‘ah ha’ moments. My first key take-away relates to vaginal birth, and also caesarean births. Second key take-away is for c-section mamas, whether it is emergency or elective. And third key take-away discusses the recovery aspect, so there is something for everyone, whether or not you are pregnant, or you are a new mum.

| Pelvic Floor Friday #7 [Quality Lift] | 15 Jul 2022 | 00:08:05 | |
Welcome back to the Pelvic Floor Friday session! Today, we are focussing on a quality pelvic floor lift. I am going to talk you through a few ways of imagining your pelvic floor, we are going to do a lovely lift together, and then focus on that full relaxation and release. So, although I am talking you through this pelvic floor set, if you’ve been listening to me for awhile you will know I always say how everyone is on their own journey, Everyone is different. Focus on quality over quantity. And if you can’t hold for as long as I say, please don’t. Any discomfort or questions please do stop and consult your healthcare provider. Right, let’s dive in. Find a position where you can relax. 1. Focus on draw string bag. Close off the bag, then lift it up off the ground. 2. Clock face. Bring the 4 points on the clock together in the middle. 3. Relaxation: focus on full release. Imagine a bud is blooming. Dropping and flopping. Avoiding straining down, instead release and let all the muscle tension drop away.

This birth story is with Liz who shares an honest recount of her emergency c-section due to a last minute breech presentation.

| Pelvic Floor Friday #6 [Standard Set] | 08 Jul 2022 | 00:10:55 | |
Welcome back to the Pelvic Floor Friday session! Every week on a Friday, I talk you through a set of pelvic floor exercises. Then, our normal podcast episodes will be released every Tuesday. These episodes are short, these episodes are actionable, and are designed to just help you get it done and tick off your pelvic floor from the to-do list. Perfect if you’re having a vaginal or a caesarean birth, pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy, or years and years down the track. You could even send this podcast episode to your mum, as pelvic floor exercises are something I believe ALL women need to do. So, today, we are focussing on a ‘standard’, or ‘traditional’ set of pelvic floor exercises. These are perhaps what you’d consider gold standard. But if you’ve been listening to me for awhile you will know I always say how everyone is on their own journey, Everyone is different. Focus on Quality over quantity. And If you can’t hold for as long as I say, please don’t. Any discomfort or questions please do stop and consult your healthcare provider. And, don’t forget these exercises don’t substitute for a pelvic floor assessment by your local pelvic floor physio, they are designed to help with motivation, and support, to just help you to get them done more consistently. Enjoy!

| How to relax tight pelvic floor muscles? | 21 Jun 2022 | 00:15:58 | |
In today's podcast episode I answer the question 'How do I relax my tight pelvic floor muscles?'
Similarly, sometimes we want our pelvic floor muscles to be strong and activated, and at other times we need them to relax and release the tension in the muscles.
It is important to relax for all of the above reasons (plus more). *Please be sure to touch base with your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns around your pelvic floor muscles.
Some things to think of:
