Fat and Fertile with Nicola Salmon
Getting pregnant in a world obsessed with weight can be really tough - especially when it feels like everyone keeps telling you that weight loss is the only way to get any support or answers.
That’s why I created the Fat and Fertile podcast. I’m a fat-positive fertility coach and author of Fat and Fertile, and I’m here to dive deep into the unique challenges and complexities that come with trying to conceive in a bigger body.
In each episode, I cover topics that matter to people in bigger bodies who are dreaming of growing their families, from breaking down fat-phobic myths to exploring practical ways to support your fertility - no weight loss required.
This podcast is for you if:
You identify as fat or live in a bigger body.
You’re trying to get pregnant and want a community that understands your experience.
You’re looking for compassionate, evidence-based conversations about fertility, health, and self-advocacy.
Join me and a diverse lineup of guests as we talk about fertility from a fat-positive, non-judgmental perspective. Together, we’ll navigate the ups and downs of getting pregnant without compromising who we are or feeling like we have to shrink our bodies to make our dreams come true.
