A different starting point
There is a lot more to fertility than knowing when you ovulate.
Perhaps you're just beginning to think about pregnancy. Perhaps you've spent months tracking cycles, changing supplements and reading conflicting advice. Or maybe you've already had investigations and still have questions about what the results mean.
Fertility Foundations brings the relevant science into one place, so you can understand the role of both partners, recognise which factors may warrant further discussion with your healthcare team, and make decisions with more confidence.
A clear understanding of your physiology gives you a far better starting point than another generic fertility checklist.
Inside the course
Fertility education that goes beyond the basics.
Structured, professionally recorded lessons that explain the clinical concepts, practical choices and conversations worth having as you prepare for conception.
Bloodwork & fertility markers
Learn about commonly requested investigations, including iron, thyroid and metabolic markers, and how to discuss results in context.
Male fertility & sperm health
Explore sperm development, relevant assessments, nutrition and lifestyle factors that can affect male reproductive health.
Nutrition & supplements
Work through preconception nutrition, key nutrients, blood-sugar health and the evidence behind commonly marketed supplements.
When health conditions are involved
Understand considerations around PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid and autoimmune conditions, low ovarian reserve and recurrent loss.
IVF & embryo transfer preparation
Learn what happens before treatment, what preconception care can support and which questions may be helpful for your fertility team.
A couple's guide to conception
Because fertility involves both partners.
So much fertility information is aimed exclusively at women, even though male reproductive health is an important part of the picture. Inside Fertility Foundations, you'll learn about sperm parameters, the months leading up to conception, and evidence-informed ways each partner can participate.

Created by Sam Mihaka.
I'm a Registered Clinical Nutritionist with a postgraduate background in human nutrition, exercise science and functional medicine. Through my clinical work, I've seen just how overwhelming fertility advice can become when every appointment, social media post and supplement label tells you something different.
When my husband and I decided to try for our daughter, I also experienced how consuming that waiting period can feel. I created Fertility Foundations to make detailed, clinically informed fertility education more accessible to people who want to understand their bodies and feel better prepared for conversations with their healthcare team.

Enrol in Fertility FoundationsA few useful details
Frequently asked questions.
Is this suitable if we're only just starting to try?
Yes. You can start before trying to conceive, whether pregnancy is something you're considering soon or further down the track. The course explains preconception health, cycle awareness and practical areas to focus on.
Is the course relevant to men as well?
Yes. Male fertility is included throughout, with lessons on sperm health, relevant investigations and nutrition and lifestyle considerations. The course is designed for individuals and couples.
What if we've had miscarriages, a fertility diagnosis or are planning IVF?
Fertility Foundations includes education on recurrent loss, common reproductive health conditions and preparation for assisted conception. It can help you understand the terminology and evidence, but it does not replace investigations or care from your GP or fertility specialist.
Will I receive a personalised blood test interpretation or supplement protocol?
The course teaches you about commonly used markers and evidence-informed nutrition and supplement considerations. It is self-paced education rather than an individual consultation or personalised treatment plan. For advice based on your own results and medical history, you can book a separate clinical consultation.
How long do I have access?
The course is advertised with lifetime access, so you can return to the lessons as your plans and circumstances change.
Will completing the course help us conceive?
There is no guarantee of conception or treatment success. The course is designed to improve your understanding of reproductive health and inform your preparation and decisions alongside appropriate medical care.
