Fertility Beyond BMI
In this episode, Maggie Lawler of Simple Strength Leixlip sits down with Jess Willow, a registered dietitian and intuitive eating counsellor specializing in fertility and PCOS, to explore how intuitive eating and weight-inclusive approaches can support fertility journeys. Moving beyond BMI restrictions and weight-centric care, Jess shares her expertise on nourishing fertility through an inclusive, holistic lens. They discuss the limitations of using the BMI criteria for fertility treatment, the impact of weight cycling on fertility, and how GLP-1 medications may fit into fertility journeys. This conversation challenges common misconceptions around weight and fertility while offering a compassionate, evidence-based approach to supporting people trying to conceive.
