This week on Fertility Finesse, I’m joined by leading dietitian Orla Walsh for a grounded, practical conversation about how food genuinely supports fertility.
We break down the eating fundamentals that matter most when you’re trying to conceive, from building balanced meals to understanding how
simple nutrition shifts can influence hormones, egg and sperm quality, and overall wellbeing.
Orla takes the confusion out of Mediterranean-style eating and explains how to bring those principles into everyday life without
overhauling your entire kitchen.
We also chat about supplements: what’s worth considering, what’s often unnecessary, and how to tailor choices instead of guessing.
If food prep feels overwhelming, Orla shares surprisingly easy ways to create nourishing meals even on busy days.
And because nutrition can feel like a minefield, we go through the most common TTC mistakes she sees in clinic — and how to avoid them.
Orla Walsh RD, MSc is one of Ireland’s leading dietitians and the founder of Orla Walsh Nutrition, a thriving Dublin-based clinic known for its clear, evidence-driven approach.
With a background in physiology, a Master’s in Clinical Nutrition, and extensive experience in sports, hormonal health, gut health, and fertility,

sharing what actually matters, what to let go of, and how food can support your journey whether you’re trying to conceive
for the first time or navigating secondary infertility.
