Leveling Up Egg Quality: The Mitochondria, Oxidative Stress & Immune Connection [EP 41]

The Fertility Dietitian | Functional Fertility Info in your Ears

Welcome back to Season Two of The Fertility Dietitian Podcast!

In this episode, we're breaking down how to improve egg quality naturally — using evidence-based nutrition, lifestyle habits, and key supplements to support your fertility health.

You'll learn how your mitochondria, oxidative stress, and immune system directly impact egg quality and reproductive longevity, and what you can start doing today to strengthen your fertility foundation.

If you've been told that you *can't* change your egg quality — this episode will show you why that's outdated, and how real science says otherwise.
