Summary

As young women entering adulthood, we are constantly told how to not get pregnant. Contraception is drummed into us from a young age and the fear of a pregnancy scare is all too real! But what happens when we finally hit that tipping point of wanting to have a baby? With 1 in every 7 couples having difficulty conceiving and the majority of women now having babies later in life than ever before, at what point is it necessary to start considering alternative fertility options? And to what extent can nutrition play a role in helping us to conceive? Joining me to discuss the facts about fertility is Dr Zoe Williams, an NHS General Practitioner and resident Doctor on ITV’s This Morning show who in a previous life was none other than Amazon in the TV show, Gladiators!

And one could feel great, and the other could feel that slump,

and the increased hunger due to their different blood sugar responses.

So, here we go.

Zoe's research found that the change in blood sugar and blood fat levels

can vary 10 fold from person to person.

And on top of that, identical twins only share a quarter of their gut bugs,
