Summary

For anyone trying to conceive now, planning to in the next year or two, or even considering having kids in 5 or 10 years, or perhaps you're over 40 and have lost hope in having children—this episode is exactly for you! So basically, if you're a woman, this episode is a must-listen. In today’s interview, I sit down with Ronit and Vida, best friends and the co-founders of WeNatal, a prenatal supplement designed not only for women but also for their male partners. We bust a lot of myths about fertility, such as improving egg quality, the misconception that fertility is only a woman’s issue, conceiving after 40, and even how some "health routines" may actually be hindering egg and sperm quality and count. Many people don’t realize that practices like saunas, cold plunges, and even something as simple as touching receipts could make it more difficult to conceive. We also discuss what to avoid when trying to get pregnant, as well as foods to consume and other things to implement to support conception and a growing baby. Most importantly, this episode truly empowers and gives hope to any couple trying to conceive—whether later in life or after several miscarriages. So many women feel alone in this journey and struggle to figure things out, and this interview could be the podcast episode that helps turn things around for you. I hope you enjoy it and that it brings some light to your day and life. Topics Covered: - Misconceptions about infertility - Egg and sperm myths - Conceiving after 40 - The decline in fertility rates - Common factors inhibiting fertility and what to avoid - What to consume for optimal egg quality - Lifestyle factors that help and harm fertility - What men SHOULD and SHOULD NOT be doing to help fertility - Miscarriages - Ways to increase egg quality - Drinking raw milk, runny egg yolk, and eating sushi while pregnant - When we should start taking a prenatal if we plan on getting pregnant in the future - When to STOP taking a prenatal after birth - Postpartum depression links - Why we need prenatals even if we are eating a nutrient-dense diet - Specific things to look for when choosing a prenatal - What to avoid in prenatals As always, if you have any questions for the show, please email us at [email protected].
