The Fertility Crisis Nobody's Talking About (And How to Fix It) ft. WeNatal

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
