What if fertility isn’t just a woman’s issue — but a shared health conversation that should begin long before anyone is trying to conceive? In this episode of The Experts, Dr. Jenelle Kim sits down with Vida Delrahim, co-founder of WeNatal, to unpack one of the most important and often misunderstood conversations in modern wellness: preconception health. From pregnancy loss and self-advocacy, to male fertility, egg quality, nutrient depletion, postpartum recovery, and the reality of our increasingly toxic, nutrient-depleted world, this conversation is both deeply personal and incredibly practical. Together, they explore why fertility should be treated like a team sport, why preparation matters, and how supporting the body before pregnancy is really about building long-term health for everyone involved.
