Building Trust in Your Body Through Fertility, Birth & Postpartum with Dr Claire Mellon

On this week’s episode, I’m joined by my incredible doctor, Dr Claire Mellon, Obstetrician and founder of Claire Mellon Associates, for an open and reassuring conversation covering fertility, birth preparation, and postpartum recovery, the topics so many of you asked about.

We explore how to best prepare your body for pregnancy, including nutrition, supplements, cycle awareness, as well as the often-overlooked role of insulin resistance, PCOS, and male health in conception. Claire shares clear, practical insights for anyone trying to conceive, especially if you’re feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice or frustrated by doing “all the right things” without results.

We also move into birth preparation and postpartum care, breaking down the pressure around birth choices and why a collaborative, flexible approach matters. From labour support to the emotional and hormonal shifts after birth, this episode offers clarity and real-world guidance for anyone navigating conception, pregnancy, or early motherhood.
