In this episode, K+L take a deep dive with registered dietitian and nutritionist Lily Nichols on all things fertility, conception, and nutrition. Nichols educates us on the importance of preconception preparation, highlighting how lifestyle changes such as diet and self-care can enhance fertility and lead to healthier pregnancies.
