Have you ever wondered how blood sugar affects fertility? Are you thinking “Can high blood sugar affect fertility?” or “Can low blood sugar affect fertility?”
You guessed it, blood sugar can affect your fertility and, fortunately, you have the capability to balance your blood sugar. Through lifestyle and dietary changes, you can control your hormones and optimise your fertility whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or having fertility treatment.
Here, Registered Fertility Nutritionist, Kirsten Oddy, shares how balancing blood sugars is essential when TTC and how her online workshop “Let’s Balance!” can help.

Are you keen to wave goodbye to pesky PMS symptoms, energy crashes, stubborn weight gain and other hormonal side effects?
My brand-new online workshop ‘Let’s Balance!’ gives you all the information and tools you need to learn all about blood sugar balance and why it’s so important for hormones and fertility.
You will be taught exactly how to balance your blood sugars with easy-to-implement dietary and lifestyle strategies – and if you sign up today you will also receive a five-day meal plan and exclusive goodies too!

How does blood sugar balance help when trying to conceive?
Considering that blood sugar affects fertility, focusing on balancing your blood sugar levels through simple dietary and lifestyle changes is the cornerstone of preconception planning and preparation for getting pregnant.
High blood sugar levels may impact fertility in a number of ways:
- Lowers egg quality
- Increases stress hormones, impacting the production of important sex hormones, such as progesterone, which are vital for fertility
- Increases the risk of pregnancy complications
- Increases inflammation
- Sperm health – if you have a male partner then the principles you will learn in the workshop can help them, too
Optimising your health for fertility can increase your chances of conception success and set you up for a healthy pregnancy. I’m here to show you how!
Who will benefit from the workshop?
As blood sugar affects fertility, balancing blood sugar is a key foundational step I take all of my clients through when we work together.
