Did you know male fertility has plummeted 60% since the 1970s and it could be THE missing piece in your conception journey? If you’re trying to conceive, feeling stuck, or want to make sure you and your partner are truly optimizing your chances, this episode is for you.
I sit down with WeNatal’s co-founders, Ronit and Vida, to unpack the breakthrough science on sperm quality, how men’s health directly impacts not just conception but pregnancy outcomes, and what couples can do right now, together, to boost fertility.
We get honest about why “trimester zero” (the pre-pregnancy stage) matters, what actually works for men, and how to motivate your partner without nagging or overwhelm. So if you want concrete, actionable steps for improving both partners’ reproductive health and way more hope and clarity about next steps, hit play and let’s dive in.
4:51 – The sharp decline in sperm counts since the 1970s and why it’s a big deal for couples
10:12 – “Trimester Zero”: The science behind why both partners should prep before pregnancy
13:31 – Fertility is a team sport: Why focusing only on women overlooks half the equation
10:33 – Real-life results: How small, sustainable lifestyle changes lead to better fertility outcomes
15:30 – Practical advice for getting male partners on board with health changes (without nagging)
18:19 – Why supplements still matter during pregnancy and postpartum for men and women
