No Straight Lines

No Straight Lines is a conversation led by married couple Eleanor and Jacky - founders of aloomah , an online community built for anyone navigating the ups and downs of fertility. After years of our own fertility journey, we realised how rarely people really talk about it - especially the stuff that hurts, confuses, or leaves you feeling alone. This space is about breaking that silence. We're sharing our own story, the stuff we wish we’d heard sooner, and chatting with people who’ve helped us along the wa - from friends to experts. It’s honest, raw, sometimes heavy, sometimes hopeful. Because not every path is straight. But that doesn’t mean you have to walk it alone. Hosted on Acast.

  Could your microbiome be affecting your fertility? – Jo Hurley

  Sep 22, 202644 min

  Eleanor and Jacky sit down with registered nutritional therapist Jo Hurley, better known online as @feedyourfanny , for a conversation about an area of fertility that many of us have probably never even considered: our microbiomes. Jo breaks down the vaginal, uterine and seminal microbiomes, how partners can share microbes, recurrent thrush and BV, and why she believes microbiome health deserves a place in the wider fertility conversation. We also revisit Jacky’s own male-factor fertility journey, from high DNA fragmentation and low morphology to discovering a varicocele, and ask why some of these deeper investigations still aren’t routinely part of the fertility journey. An eye-opening conversation about the things going on inside our bodies that most of us were never taught about.

  Why “unexplained infertility” is NOT a diagnosis – Kirsten Mooring

  Sep 8, 202639 min

  Eleanor and Jacky sit down with fertility nutritionist Kirsten Mooring to ask a difficult question: what if “unexplained infertility” simply means we haven’t investigated enough? From reproductive microbiomes and DNA fragmentation to sperm health, lifestyle, nutrition and the tests that can sometimes get overlooked, Kirsten explains why she believes couples need to look at the whole picture — and why male fertility needs to become a much bigger part of the conversation. Kirsten also shares her own experience of unexplained infertility and why that journey ultimately led her to helping others find answers.

  Why “just keep trying” isn’t good enough – Alison Hall

  Aug 26, 202659 min

From nutrition and sperm health to PMOS, DNA fragmentation and the reproductive microbiome. Alison also shares her own experience of multiple losses, including losing her little boy at 22 weeks, and explains why she believes fertility needs a more joined-up, individual approach rather than simply being told to “just keep trying.” Find Alison Hall Website: Alison Hall Nutrition Instagram: @alisonhall_fertility Work with Alison / Free 30-Minute Review: Book a complimentary fertility review Hosted on Acast.
