Blood Sugar, Cortisol, Fertility: oh my! with Registered Dietitian Katie Chapmon In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, I’m joined by registered dietitian Katie Chapmon to talk about fertility nutrition through a whole-body lens, with a big focus on blood sugar regulation and stability. Katie explains the difference between a dietitian (licensed, regulated, clinically trained) and a nutritionist (often unregulated), then breaks down how blood sugar “rollercoasters” can increase insulin and affect cortisol: impacting ovulation testosterone balance egg and sperm quality embryo implantation We cover simple, practical steps: eat consistently every 3–5 hours, aim to eat within 90 minutes of waking, build plates with 3–5 distinct food colors for antioxidants, and pair carbs with protein and/or fat (“fruit needs a friend”). We also discuss fasting, why morning fasting may worsen cortisol and dysregulation for female egg quality, and why a longer overnight break from eating can support sleep and nighttime regulation. 02:02 Dietitian vs Nutritionist 04:08 Blood Sugar and Fertility 07:22 Food Rhythm for Stability 09:11 Simple Daily Nutrition Steps 12:30 Intermittent Fasting Explained 15:41 Weight Loss While TTC 17:45 Male vs Female Nutrition Nuances 19:12 How to Work With Katie  Thank you Katie for all of this valuable information!
