Fertility nutrition- There's a gap between guidelines and reality, with Gerald Quigley

Andrew Whitfield-Cook

When companies engage people like Gerald Quigley as part of their Scientific Advisory Board, people take note. Gerald has spent decades as a Pharmacist, Herbalist, regular radio guest, and a clinical and regulatory advisor to numerous companies. 

Today, Gerald and I discuss various fertility issues facing women and couples wishing to start a family, from general health to appropriate dosing for iron deficiency anaemia, the Australian recommendations for Iodine in pregnancy and breastfeeding, to niche presentation of supplements to enhance delivery of nutrients. Listen in as we discuss the gap between accepted dietary guidelines and the real issues facing the Australian public with nutrient deficiencies and how to best support those wishing to start a family.
