Part 2 of our 2-part series on lifestyle factors and fertility features Dr. Alexandra Harvey, Senior Research Scientist at Melbourne IVF.

In Part 2 we cover:
Weight and inflammation – why body composition and hidden inflammation can make a big difference to fertility outcomes
Smoking’s silent sabotage – how it damages egg and sperm quality and reduces IVF success rates
Alcohol and conception – what the evidence says about “moderate” drinking and fertility health
Stress and reproduction – the mind–body connection and why managing stress matters for conception
