Lately, TikTok and Instagram have been flooded with content about something called “Trimester Zero”. It’s the idea that pregnancy preparation should start months (or even years) before conception. And while some of the advice is genuinely sensible, a lot of it veers into expensive, anxiety-inducing territory: detoxes, organ meat diets, “non-toxic everything,” DNA panels that cost thousands, and the suggestion that if you’re not doing all of this, you’re somehow failing before you’ve even conceived.

Today we’re joined by Dr Devini Ameratunga, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, gynaecologist and co-host of the Fertility Untamed podcast.
We speak about:

• How common infertility is and whether it’s increasing
• Is trimester zero marketing preying on vulnerabilities?
• How common unexplained infertility is
• Why we are finally speaking about how men’s health can affect fertility
• Does men’s sperm quality affect miscarriage risk or nausea during pregnancy
• Myth busting yes or no; folic acid, choline consumption, detox teas, organ meats, cutting out caffeine completely, giving up alcohol, expensive supplements, creatine and stress alone causing infertility
• Dr Dev’s personal experience of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) and how much it impacted her life

Hey lifers!
Laura is FORTY and her birthday party is the gift that keeps on giving! There was no magician (there was however a very talented musician). Her alter ego Rara came out to play, the margaritas were free flowing, and the night ended with the neighbours doing something outrageous from the apartment block behind!

Britt also has a confession - she lied to get a job. Not a little white lie, a significant one. Have you ever lied to get a job?

It's been a rough week for Chappell Roan, and there are two big things colliding at once; the incident in Brazil with an 11-year-old fan and her security guard, and a growing conversation online about whether the brand she's built around herself actually holds up.
We speak about:

• The Brazil incident - what actually happened and who is responsible
• What celebrities actually owe their fans
• The internet's "I got you" moment and whether this is a pile on
• The halo effect; why we assume moral virtue across the board when someone stands for the right things
• Her upbringing, Grammy Camp and whether she's feigned more hardship than she experienced
• Whether criticising a system you've benefited from makes you a hypocrite
• Why women with strong opinions and inconsistencies get cancelled faster than anyone else
