Check-Ins
Check-in with me - tell me the highs, but most importantly the lows. I will give you feedback and we’ll set actions for the next two weeks ahead.
Movement Targets
Daily movement is important for your overall health and helps you expend energy, helping you sustain your calorie deficit. I will give you a step goal to stick to.
Hi, I’m alessia! I’m a Certified Nutritionist and Coach and I help PEOPLE achieve the required BMI for IVF/ICSI.
Weight loss is based on simple principles, but takes hard work to achieve!
Adding the complexities of TTC and IVF to the mix is A LOT! I get it, I’ve been there myself.
Not being accepted for NHS funding, not making the NHS waiting list, and having treatment postponed because of your BMI is soul-destroying!
Let me help you on your journey to starting treatment. No fad or crash dieting, I focus on health, behaviour and mindset change and help you diet without compromising your fertility!
“At my first FERtility clinic Appointment I was told to just do a crash diet”
fad diets will get you nowhere
I was so shocked when I was advised to “just do a crash diet”, without further explanation or context. Since then I have spoken to so many people who experienced similar situations often being told to “just lose weight” without further context or advice.
Sound familiar?
My story
I decreased my BMI from 33 to 29 and made the NHS waiting list in October 2021.
It wasn’t straightforward, I even failed my first weigh-in, because I got my height wrong (measure your height!!). I was devastated!
During this entire time, I didn’t want to put my life on hold. I still went on holiday, ate out and socialised with friends. I knew to focus on the aspects that mattered the most when trying to lose weight, which made it so much more manageable alongside a busy life.
Finally, I heard the magic words: “your numbers are looking good”…tbh I expected a bit more cheer considering what a big deal this was, but oh well - we move!
Fast-forward through more ups and downs that often made it a challenge to maintain my weight loss, we finally got to transfer a frozen embryo in January 2023, which turned into our lovely daughter!
