Sperm counts have dropped 60% in 60 years and if nothing changes, they could reach zero by 2045. Yet we still only talk about women when it comes to fertility. In this episode, I sit down with Ronit Menashe and Vida Rahim, the founders of WeNatal, to have the conversation the fertility world keeps skipping.
In this episode, we cover:
Why 50% of miscarriages and infertility are linked to male factor sperm quality
The truth about microplastics, BPA, and phthalates destroying fertility
What "Trimester Zero" is and why the 100 days before conception matter most
The MTHFR gene mutation (40–60% of people have it) and why folic acid isn't enough
How to actually improve egg quality and sperm quality through nutrition and lifestyle
The Mediterranean diet, DHA, and why 70% of your baby's brain depends on what you take before pregnancy
Postpartum depletion, why the prenatal doesn't stop at birth
