Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina.

0:04.6

Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Vanessa, and I am so excited for today's episode.

0:12.2

We have Lily Nichols joining us on the podcast again. I think this is her third time being on.

0:19.0

And she just came out with a brand new, incredible book called Real Food for Fertility.

0:26.2

Prepare your body for pregnancy with preconception nutrition and fertility awareness.

0:31.5

And this interview, we get to talk about so many of my favorite concepts, including and not limited to prenatal and fertility

0:39.9

nutrition, but just how to optimize your body in general. And Lily is so incredible at doing

0:47.4

the research and sourcing everything in her books. She's even influenced policy internationally on recommendations for people to do

1:39.9

She talks about how to switch out the unhealthy fats for the right kinds of fats and the ones that

1:46.2

are going to actually help lower inflammation instead of generate it like those toxic seed oils

1:52.1

that are present in our diet in so many different sources that it's hard to sort of pinpoint them

1:58.4

all these days because they seem to make their way into everything.

2:01.6

Even baby food, which is kind of appalling.

2:04.9

But today's episode is really for everyone, whether you are someone who is interested in fertility, conception, prenatal nutrition,

2:12.5

or you're just someone who wants to optimize their overall health.

The concepts that apply to having optimal fertility
