Episode 6: The Two Week Wait: What Really Matters
🎧 About Today’s Episode:
The Two Week Wait — it’s one of the most emotionally intense parts of the fertility journey. Whether you’re in a natural cycle, IUI, or IVF, those 14 days between ovulation or embryo transfer and your pregnancy test can feel like an eternity.
In this episode, I guide you through what’s really happening in your body during the 2WW — from hormone shifts to implantation. I break down what to eat (and what to avoid), the role of nutrients like zinc, omega-3s, and even beetroot juice, and how your lifestyle can either support or sabotage your chances.
We also talk about balancing rest with gentle movement, practical tools to stay grounded, and why mindset matters just as much as your meal plan.
If you’re looking for a calm, evidence-based approach to get through the wait with clarity and nourishment — this episode is for you.
