Did you know that sperm counts have plunged by nearly 60% since the 1970s? If you think fertility is only a “women’s issue,” think again—your partner’s health may be the missing link you’ve never considered. If you’ve been struggling to conceive, or you simply want to give your body and future baby the best shot at long-term wellness, this episode is your new must-listen. 

I sit down with the co-founders of WeNatal, Ronit and Vida, to unpack the latest research on how men’s lifestyle, daily habits, and nutrition impact everything from conception and placental health to postpartum outcomes for your baby. We get real about what actually moves the needle, what to do if your partner is resistant to change, and the practical steps you can take together to stack the odds in your favor—no matter where you are in your fertility journey.

So if you want clear, simple, and doable steps to help both you and your partner take charge of your fertility, hit play and let’s dive in.

Meet Ronit and Vida:

Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim are the founders of WeNatal, a prenatal supplement company redefining fertility by focusing on both women and men. Inspired by their own experiences with pregnancy loss, they created clean, doctor-backed supplements to support couples through conception and pregnancy. WeNatal’s formulas feature high-quality, bioavailable nutrients like choline and Omega DHA+, and are rigorously tested to be non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free.

In this episode, you’ll learn how WeNatal is helping couples rethink conception and men’s role in fertility:

• Why sperm counts declining by 60% since the 1970s means couples need to think beyond just women’s health when trying to conceive
• How male fertility plays a critical role not just at conception, but also in pregnancy outcomes, placenta development, and even postpartum wellness 
• The surprising link between men’s health, sperm quality, and pregnancy risks like preeclampsia and nutrient delivery to the baby 
• The “trimester zero” approach and what that actually looks like in daily life 
• Why the old advice of “just keep trying” leaves couples powerless and what the latest research says you can do instead 
• The habits and lifestyle changes that actually improve both partners’ fertility 
• How to get your partner on board with fertility changes without nagging, and the best ways to share science-based information for buy-in 
• Why fertility is a team sport and how treating preconception like marathon training shifts outcomes for both you and your partner 
• Evidence-backed reasons men should continue taking fertility-focused nutrients even after conception or if they’re not actively trying
