I am with Fertility Nutritionist Kirsty Harrison to discuss the complexities of alcohol consumption during the festive season, when you are trying to conceive.

We chat about societal pressures surrounding drinking at Christmas, the impact of alcohol on fertility, and provide practical advice for making informed choices.

We discuss

• Why the festive season can be sp emotionally charged

• How the research indicates that alcohol can negatively impact fertility outcomes.

• Moderation is key; under four drinks a week is advisable for those trying to conceive.

• How it's important for both partners to be on the same page regarding alcohol consumption.

• Why enjoying a drink without guilt can have positive emotional benefits.

• Why maintaining healthy habits during the holiday season can support fertility efforts.

• How research and evidence can help couples make informed decisions about drinking.

Here is a link to one of the research papers referred to.
