239: In this episode, I sit down with the founders of WeNatal to talk all about fertility and the nutrients our bodies need for a healthy pregnancy. As many of you know, I've already declared 2025 my year of fertility, and I'm on a mission to learn everything I can to prepare for pregnancy. We talk about fertility myths, so-called "geriatric pregnancies," and the biggest factors affecting conception today. Both founders have experienced miscarriages, which led them to create a prenatal that truly supports the body's needs. If you're hoping to get pregnant this year or next, this episode is one you won't want to miss. Topics Discussed: What nutrients are essential for a healthy pregnancy? How do stress and sleep impact fertility? What are the biggest misconceptions about "geriatric pregnancies"? How can men improve their fertility? What lifestyle changes support conception and a healthy baby?

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, Vida Delrahim and Ronit Menashe share their personal journeys from corporate careers to founding WeNatal, a company focused on improving fertility through better prenatal supplements. They discuss the importance of addressing both male and female health in the preconception phase, the science behind their product formulations, and the need for education and resources for couples trying to conceive. Their mission is to empower individuals with knowledge and high-quality supplements to enhance fertility outcomes.   Takeaways Ronit and Vida met at Nike and became best friends. Ronit's experience in functional medicine changed their trajectory. Miscarriages led them to explore fertility solutions more deeply. Men contribute to 50% of miscarriages due to sperm quality. WeNatal was created to support both partners in fertility. Their prenatal supplements are designed for bioavailability and effectiveness. They focus on simplifying the supplement process for women. Education is key in supporting couples on their fertility journey. Their blog offers valuable resources for those trying to conceive. They emphasize the importance of quality ingredients in supplements.   Guest Bio:   Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim are the founders of WeNatal, a prenatal supplement company that is transforming the fertility space with the first prenatal supplement optimized for her AND him. WeNatal's mission to change the narrative surrounding fertility and reproductive health is personal; after suffering miscarriages a week apart, Ronit and Vida were given little direction on what to do differently. More importantly, the health of Ronit and Vida's partners(including the health of their sperm) was completely missing from their fertility dialogue with their doctors… something had to change. That is why WeNatal was born, to shift the fertility journey from "me" to "we.” WeNatal is revolutionizing the prenatal space and backed by industry leading Functional Medicine doctors, nutritionists, and fertility experts, including Dr. Mark Hyman and Kelly LeVeque. With 24 key clean, bioavailable nutrients, WeNatal steps up where other supplements fall short for all things preconception to postpartum for both parents and baby.     Websites/Links:    Free Preconception Guide:  WeNatal.com/guide     https://www.instagram.com/we_natal/?hl=en   For more information about Michelle, visit: www.michelleoravitz.com   Check out Michelle's Latest Book: The Way of Fertility! https://www.michelleoravitz.com/thewayoffertility   The Wholesome FertilityFacebook group is where you can find free resources and support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504/   Instagram: @thewholesomelotusfertility   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/     Transcript:   Michelle (00:00) Welcome to the podcast for Neat and Vita.   Vida Delrahim (00:02) Thanks for having us. We're so excited to be here.   Ronit Menashe (00:04) So happy to be here.   Michelle (00:06) Yes, so happy to have you guys. And I know that you guys have such an interesting story, first of all, on how you met and also the experience you guys went through together. So without giving anything away, I would love for you guys to share your stories, your personal stories and how that eventually led you to doing your passion project.   Vida Delrahim (00:26) Yeah, I'd love to. So it's fun story because we never envisioned to be in the supplement space. And in fact, Ronit and I met in our corporate careers at Nike close to 18 years ago and became best friends and really just kind of embarked in life together. Ronit went on to work in the functional medicine space and we should all thank our lucky stars that she did because it kind of completely changed our trajectory. So.   I had a miscarriage right when she was having her first daughter. And of course the answers we were given were very dismissive. They were typically like very common, keep trying, you're lucky you even got pregnant, could be the stress, could be a slew of things. They just kind of shove you along as part of the process. And I didn't know any better, of course, having my first and Ronit was actually in the functional med space, immersed and kind of taught me things like, have you checked your thyroid? Have you done this? Have you done that?   Lo and behold, I had Hashimoto's, I didn't even know about it. Just that simple act of fixing my thyroid with medication and visiting an endocrinologist allowed me to have a healthy baby girl. And then fast forward to 2020, I had another miscarriage. And a week after, Ronit had one. And I think this was, it happened a week apart. This was a little bit shocking because...   Like I kind of just accepted that this stuff happens, but Ronit working alongside Dr. Mark Hyman, who's very amazing functional practitioner, she was all about the root cause. She was all about the answers and the questions and the answers she was given was very similar, but she wasn't willing to accept that. Like, you know, there's nothing you can do as an answer.   Michelle (02:02) Mm-hmm.   Ronit Menashe (02:03) And I think for me, Michelle, the reason why it was so shocking was because I was a huge fan of functional medicine for so many years and I already was doing all of the things, or at least I thought I was. I had already cleaned out my house from plastics. I had already, you know, was eating organic food. I was focusing on movement. I was taking pretty good supplements.   or at least what I thought was good supplements. And I was shocked. And when I started to dive into the root of what was happening, because it didn't make sense to me that my doctor said, there is nothing you could do to improve your fertility, literally. It is just common, just keep trying. I thought that makes zero sense. And I'm gonna learn about how to improve my egg quality. I thought.   Michelle (02:48) Mm hmm.   Ronit Menashe (03:01) It was a net quality issue. was 41 at the time. That's what made sense to me. And my biggest aha was when I learned that 50 % of miscarriages happen because of sperm quality. And that was when I called Vida and I said, Vida, did you know that men contribute to 50 % of miscarriages and that 50 that   that sperm quality is easily improved using antioxidants like CoQ10 and AC. In fact, studies after studies show that when men take an antioxidant blend in high dose bioavailable forms, they can quadruple their chances of their partner getting pregnant and having a live birth. So,   That was our big light bulb moment when we thought like, my God, we need to create a prenatal for men. And we need to scream this from the rooftops that men have a huge role, huge role in improving fertility outcomes and pregnancy outcomes for their families. And that was where we started our journey.   Michelle (04:13) It is so important. can't even like tell you. It's so crazy because I have people that go to their doctors and so many times they don't even check the men. And also the DNA fragmentation, which is a whole other thing. Cause like, yeah, you can have perfect sperm numbers and motility and morphology. But if the DNA is off and that can get really impacted by the antioxidants,   then that can make a big difference on so many things on IVF, is so expensive too. So I love that you guys bring this up. It's so important.   Vida Delrahim (04:50) It's so important and how is it that we're so far in like medicine and women's rights, but like yet the burden of fertility still solely is falling so Ronit and I knew that was like the beginning of our mission that one, women and men deserve better products because we can talk about how   once we uncover the fertility and the supplement space, we learn so much, but also that they both need to be leveling up their health. They both need to be part of the conversation. And WeNatal was really born to really level up both partners and bring them together during this journey and give them the best tools and the best nutrition to level up their health in this crucial timeframe, which is preconception.   Michelle (05:32) For sure, and we're neat. So you had a different background and you changed your career like me.   Ronit Menashe (05:38) Well, my background was in marketing. That's where Vida and I met at Nike. And I fell in love with functional medicine when I got into CrossFit and I learned about the Paleo diet. And then I learned about functional medicine. And then I started to do, you know, become, I became a functional medicine patient myself. And this was a year before, you know,   we need years before we natal. And I just fell in love with this idea of medicine of the root cause. And once you learn it, you can't unlearn it. Like that's how you think about everything. It's like, even when, you know, your child has a tantrum nowadays, you're like, okay, like it's not them. Is it there? Is it that they're tired? Is it that they're hungry? Is it that they had sugar? You know, you, you   Michelle (06:27) you   Bye.   Ronit Menashe (06:35) learn about root cause medicine, you realize it, you know, that just everything is connected. And so for me, that was, you know, a big change in my career because I was focused more on marketing. And then I wanted to get into the functional medicine space. I took Chris Kresser's adapt course and, know, kind of started to learn about becoming a practitioner, but   it ended up serving me very well when I met Dr. Mark Hyman and I worked on his private practice and worked on his private practice more from like operations. And then I worked with him on his book launches. So still kind of like in the business side of things, marketing side of things, but more focused on this space that I love so much, which is functional integrative medicine.   Michelle (07:26) That's amazing. so I'm sure with that background, and also realizing that there is a need for this. It really inspired you to do, to have this supplement company.   Ronit Menashe (07:38) 100%. We spoke to Dr. Hyman when we first came up with the idea and he said, I always treat the man when a woman comes to me with infertility. And so what we wanted to do with WeNatal is be able to give everybody access to this kind of functional medicine approach, which essentially means optimizing male fertility and female fertility before trying to conceive.   what it looks like is nourishing your body and kind of, creating that optimal soil for conception. And, know, we always say when you improve your health, you're improving your fertility. And when you're improving your fertility, you're improving your health. And we hear from so many customers that, you know, let's say men, for instance, they're taking we natal for him. And all of a sudden they have a libido all of a sudden.   They have energy, they focus, their hair is growing. So that's kind of the side effects and the byproduct of working on improving your sperm and egg quality is you actually also feel good when you're nourished. You feel good when you're depleted from nutrients. Of course, you're going to be tired. And so many people just accept   this notion of like, I'm getting older so I should be tired or I'm getting older I should be losing my hair or I'm postpartum I should be   Michelle (09:06) Like it's normal,   normal versus common.   Vida Delrahim (09:08) Exactly.   Exactly.   Ronit Menashe (09:09) Exactly. Exactly. So   yes, these things are common, but they're not normal. And Vida and I just, you know, had this like life circumstance where we realized like it's our mission now to educate people on the importance of preconception, that there is so much you could do as a couple. He needs to be part of the equation. And when we started WeNatal, we didn't know if the men would be into it, but we're happy to say   Our we-natal men are amazing. We have so many incredible couples that are doing this together from day one. And we're always saying like, they're gonna be the best dads. If they are participating in fertility so early, they are amazing parents already.   Michelle (09:56) So yeah, for sure. And talk about like the different ingredients or the and what they do when it comes to both egg and sperm quality. And you can take your time on this   Ronit Menashe (10:08) for sure. Well, you know, here's the thing. We didn't think that the world needed another prenatal for women because there are so many prenatals out there, thousands. know, and. But when we started to dive into it and particularly for us, we were taking these packets made out of plastic that had seven pills in them.   And we just thought women deserve better. Why do they need to take seven pills? Why do they need to throw out plastic every day? Like we care about creating these healthy little humans. What about the environment? there was that. Then when we looked at the lower level prenatals, we noticed that a lot of the ingredients were not bioavailable. So what does that mean?   not everybody could utilize the nutrients that are part of those prenatals. So let's use folic acid as an example. When a prenatal has folic acid, that is the synthetic form of folate, which a lot of prenatals on the market, like if you go to a CVS or a Target, they have folic acid. And if somebody has the MTHFR genetic mutation,   They cannot utilize that folic acid. And so that nutrient is actually harmful to them. So for we natal, all of our nutrients are bioavailable. They're all in the methylated B form. like methyl folate or 5MTHF. So first of all, we have bioavailability. Second of all, comprehensiveness.   A lot of the prenatals on the market have 12-ish ingredients. We have 24 nutrients and we wouldn't leave one nutrient out. And it's very important because each and every one of our nutrients that are in our prenatal serves a very specific purpose for mom and baby and health of the pregnancy. And then you have...   dosages because even if something has 24 key ingredients like we natal the Dosages make a big difference. So using choline as an example choline We natal has 400 milligrams choline is crucial for baby brain development and the research shows that a pregnant woman needs 450 milligrams and a lactating woman needs 550 milligrams the average   Choline intake in the American diet, which you get choline from egg yolks is around 180. So we natal has 400 to be able to support that postpartum mom and obviously the pregnant mom, but there are prenatals on the market that have 50 milligrams. Now this is crucial for cognition of baby, brain mass, baby brain development.   Michelle (13:15) Mm-hmm.   Ronit Menashe (13:22) And so we were like, we have to create a prenatal for us because what we were doing is we were taking that base prenatal. We were adding choline. We were adding vitamin D. We were adding folate. We were adding iron. And most women are not going to do that. Most women are not going to, you know, take 10 plus pills a day and spend all that money on   all of these nutrients. We were doing it because we were immersed in the research and we saw how important these nutrients were. But we wanted to create a product that made it simple and easy for women and men to take their prenatal. Our packaging is beautiful and the reason is, well, first of all, we love nice things, but also,   Michelle (14:15) Thank   Ronit Menashe (14:16) We   wanted it to be part of people's home, people's life. So they're not hiding their prenatals in their, you know, cabinets that they can take it every day because consistency, like everything in health and wellness, consistency is what's going to make the biggest difference. And so that's kind of from a high level. And then, you know, you asked me what's in the prenatal and we can geek out a little bit more on the nutrients and what they do.   But what's not in the prenatal is also a big, big key because a lot of supplements on the market have a ton of additional ingredients and those ingredients are harmful for fertility and just overall health. And so it's important. We always say it's important to look at the nutrition facts.   but also look underneath the nutrition facts like what else is in there that shouldn't be in there and we natal doesn't have any additional fillers. And we do that because we manufacture in smaller dosages. We're not manufacturing in mass. Our shelf life is only two years where it's not like some prenatals that their shelf life is forever.   which, you know, for us, we're fine. We're doing things in smaller batches. And, you know, from a business perspective, it complicates things, definitely complicates Vida's life because she's on the operation side of things, but we're doing the right thing for the consumer. And that's what matters to us the most.   Michelle (15:43) .   So I know that like for my patients, for example, I'll give them certain supplements, preparing, including a prenatal, but then I'll also add more supplements that I don't necessarily have them continue taking after they're pregnant. So some that are more like to beef up the quality of the eggs. Do you guys have different ones or is it like certain? Yeah.   Vida Delrahim (16:13) Mm-hmm.   Ronit Menashe (16:16) Yes.   Yes. So we have our foundation support, which is the prenatal for him and for her. That is the multivitamin for men slash sperm support. And for women, it's the prenatal that has key nutrients for before, during, and after. But for those who want to beef up their egg quality, and we could talk about the scenarios in which you would need this product or not.   Michelle (16:35) Mm-hmm.   Ronit Menashe (16:44) We have a product that we launched this year called Egg Quality Plus, and it's five nutrients in one. So it's the five nutrients that we were taking after our miscarriage, CoQ10, NAC, PQQ, alpha lipoic acid, and L-carnitine. And what these nutrients do is they help improve egg quality. How do they do it?   Michelle (16:49) Mm-hmm.   Mm-hmm.   Ronit Menashe (17:12) These nutrients are very specific nutrients that help improve mitochondria. We know that the three months before you ovulate, the egg that you ovulate with is going through all these processes that are very complex that require very strong mitochondria. So your mitochondria is like the battery of the cell. And if the battery is low,   that process is not gonna go well and you're gonna end up with chromosomal abnormalities. So it's important to quote unquote charge the battery before you start trying so that when that process does take place, it happens with no or limited errors, if that makes sense. So we recommend for women who are either older or maybe had recurrent miscarriages or   Michelle (18:00) Yeah.   Ronit Menashe (18:09) Just wanna know that they did everything possible in the preconception timeframe to take Egg Quality Plus with our prenatal, which the prenatal also includes nutrients that help improve egg quality like folate, vitamin D. By the way, 4,000 I use a vitamin D. I don't think any prenatals on the market have that. And then, you you talked about in the postpartum phase, like for us,   what was very important to include in our prenatal is iron because in the postpartum phase and in third trimester, a lot of women are very depleted from nutrients because you require more iron in that timeframe and just to help with postpartum recovery and all of those things. So our prenatal has iron in it as well.   So what we wanted to do with the prenatal is be able to simplify people's lives and give them a tool that they can use before, during, and after. Then if somebody wants that extra boost, they could get that Egg Quality Plus B4. And that's kind of the philosophy. We wanna make it simple and easy. And the other thing that I didn't mention is our prenatal dosage is three pills a day. And so...   Michelle (19:13) Mm-hmm.   Mm-hmm.   Mm   Ronit Menashe (19:31) We just don't think it's realistic to ask women to take eight pills plus per day for their prenatal, especially in their first trimester when they're nauseous and they're throwing up and they can barely stomach any food.   Michelle (19:41) Yep. yeah, for sure.   And then as far as the iron, I know there's many different forms of iron and some can cause constipation. So I just wanted to ask about that.   Ronit Menashe (19:53) Yeah, so the forms, we didn't get into the like real geekiness of our forms, but every single one of our forms are the best form that we can find. And we use a patented iron that doesn't constipate called ferrochell. And we do the same with some of our other ingredients, like our choline is microencapsulated. Every, our selenium is this like super special selenium.   Every single one of our nutrients is sourced from the best of the best because we feel like women deserve the best. This is such an important time in people's lives and the nutrients really make a big difference and can make or break your journey.   Michelle (20:43) I love that. I love that you're really putting attention to detail because it does make such a difference. And the thing is the thing, the reason why I'm asking also is just from my perspective as a practitioner, I'm always looking for supplements that can address so many issues. And what I find myself doing is getting a bunch of different things and then having to give so many different supplements and so many different bottles. So I love the fact that you guys have   this really like thought out. It's really nice.   Vida Delrahim (21:16) Well, that's essentially what   Ronit was doing with me when we were on this journey together. She was AKA my doctor. And she's like, look at all the research shows that you need add iron you add this and so it ended up being I don't know Roni at some point I swear it was like 1215 maybe capsules because of all the additions some of it was drops. I could not keep up Ronit was a champion at taking supplements she could like down 10 at a time. I was nursing a couple meal   Michelle (21:41) Yeah.   Vida Delrahim (21:43) And of course   I wouldn't even comply. And so that was when also the idea of we need to like the ease and simplicity is so important. We're all busy, but we want to know that we're giving our body the best nutrients. I had guilt about not taking enough because I literally just couldn't down pills as quickly as some people can. And so the fact that we're able to get these 24 quality bioavailable ingredients into three capsules took us years. And we're so proud of that because it is the nutrient density of six to eight capsules in three.   And so that's what we were doing. We realized it wasn't feasible for everybody. Not everyone is at a road who can just chug them along. We realized this world had to be reinvented.   Michelle (22:23) yeah, for sure. Well, this is great. mean, lots of great information. I'm looking at your website right now, actually. Yeah, you guys definitely, it looks like you guys did a lot of research and you also have a blog, which is great. Cause I think it's so important to educate people that are on this journey.   Ronit Menashe (22:44) Well, that is exactly what we didn't have. It's so hard to reliable information that you can trust. And so we have an amazing blog and we put out so much great content on literally any topic under the sun from what to do if you just got diagnosed with gestational diabetes to, okay, how do you create a clean nursery to you know how to you know the fertility crisis you know we span everything on the blog and we share about it in our newsletter and we have an amazing guide with nine preconception tips if your listeners want to go to we natal.com slash guide they get our free couples guide and it's a really great starting point and a lot of the things that couples could do to support their fertility is free it doesn't have to be like   complicated or fancy. It's a lot of like free things. And so that guide is a really great resource.   Michelle (23:50) Awesome. Well, this is great information and you guys, this isn't a sponsored episode. It really is me wanting to find out more because there are amazing new things out there. And I think that it's important to hear all the different perspectives and really get it from the founders. So thank you guys so much for coming on and for people who are looking to learn more, how can they find you guys?   Ronit Menashe (24:19) They on we natal.com our website on social.

Anybody has questions or needs help or needs us to point them in the direction of some something or some article they can DM us at our, on our Instagram where we're most active.   Michelle (24:49) Awesome. Well, I loved this conversation and I loved all the details and the nerdy aspects of it because for me, I really liked the breakdown. think one thing that I find is that you want to find the smartest audience. It's usually a fertility audience. They're so smart because they do so much research on their own health and they really look into much more than the doctors give them. so,   So I know that they like to find out really detailed information.

With that being said, when deciding what I wanted to talk about this week, I felt very guided to share about my faith journey and how God has helped me get through these last two years that just feels like horrible thing after horrible thing.  God may give us things WE cannot handle, but He will never give us anything that HE cannot handle, and I believe that with my whole being.God is good, even if we don't feel like what is happening in our lives is good.  He planned it all, and He has a purpose for it all. Trust in Him, His plan is greater than we could ever imagine. Sponsors: Toxic Free CleaningUse code BROOKE30 at checkout to save 30%https://click.trulyfreehome.com/aff_c?offer_id=238&aff_id=4145&url_id=59Grass-Fed Beef Protein Powderhttps://www.equipfoods.comUse Code BROOKE20 to save 20%WeNatal Prenatal - Get a FREE Omega DHA+ with a purchase of a WeNatal supplementhttps://wenatal.com/pages/partner?sscid=11k8_l9yzt&Lumebox - Red Light / Infrared Therapy Device Use link below get it about half off ($280 value)https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=1008&discount=brookebacciOrganic Herbal Remedies Use Code BROOKE10 to save 10%https://earthley.com/ref/brookebacci/

Ronit Menash and Vida Delrahim, the founders of WeNatal, join Julia on a poignant episode of the podcast to share their journeys to expand their respective families and create WeNatal. As close friends who endured miscarriages within days of each other, their bond grew even stronger. Together, they uncovered a vital revelation: the quality of sperm can significantly affect fertility, contributing up to half of the reason for miscarriage. In response, they developed specialized supplements for both men and women to boost fertility before trying to conceive. They delve into the potential impact of these supplements, particularly for couples undergoing costly IVF treatments. This episode has valuable insights for couples who have had a miscarriage or are trying to conceive.    IN THIS EPISODE:  [2:32] Ronit and Vida introduce themselves and explain how WeNatal was conceived and that they had miscarriages one week apart  [7:27] The quality of a man's sperm can be the reason for a miscarriage, and how WeNatal can transform the quality of sperm  [17:49] Encouragement for the woman/family going through a miscarriage  [21:30] The vital role gratitude plays in healing after a miscarriage and preparing for pregnancy   [27:30] Ronit and Vita describe how two friends started WeNatal, the formulation of the product and the third-party testing  [38:25] Discussion of taking vitamins through prenatal and postnatal and postpartum depression and being your own health advocate  [41:50] What is normal and what is optimal, friends who work together, and what does family mean to Ronit and Vita  [48:35] WeNatal is offering a special discount to listeners of Stork'd. Go to WeNatal.com/Storkd    KEY TAKEAWAYS:  It is a little-known fact that when a woman experiences a miscarriage, a man's sperm quality can be 50% of the issue.   Creating WeNatal was a thoughtful process, including the design and usage of the packaging, not just the content of the prenatal supplements.  Women need to be their own health advocates. When you don't feel right, express that to a doctor and get the required tests. The preconception timeframe is critical to a healthy pregnancy.     RESOURCE LINKS:  Stork'd - Facebook  Stork'd - Instagram   Stork'd - YouTube   WeNatal - Website  WeNatal - Instagram  WeNatal is offering a special discount to listeners of Stork'd. Go to WeNatal.com/Storkd    WeNatal's Story   We've been there. I'll never forget the spot on the wall  I was staring at in the doctor's office when they told me there was no heartbeat…I felt my whole world caving in. I was miscarrying.  What was even more confusing was the lack of answers I received as to WHY. I was healthy, I took a standard prenatal. Yet I still miscarried. I picked up the phone to tell my best friend, Vida, that I had lost the baby, and through her tears on the other line, I couldn't believe what I heard: she had miscarried a week before. I hung up the phone, devastated for both of us. Later that evening, in our grief, we both realized something similar about our experiences: we were given no direction on what to do differently.  Our doctors told us it was random or could be our age, but then it dawned on us that all the conversations were only focused on what could have happened to our egg, with half of the equation being left out: the sperm.   Our partner's health was never mentioned as part of the reason two healthy women were struggling to get pregnant. So we got to work and started searching for answers. We had no idea that what we were about to discover would change the fertility journey for everyone after us, and we wouldn't have it any other way.    xo, Vida & Ronit

While I am a firm believer we should strive for optimal health and living toxic free, I will also stand on the grounds that striving for perfection too much can cause stress and stress is unhealthy.  I think the "crunchy"/ toxic free community is becoming way to harsh and way to strict in everything needing to be perfect, when there is no such thing as perfect.With that being said, we are the gatekeepers of our homes and I believe it is our duty to try to live as clean and healthy as possible.  YES, it is hard, but living an unhealthy life in the future is even harder.  Choose your hard, empower others to live healthier but also give yourself grace that you will never be perfect and thats okay.

In this episode, Dr. Danielle discusses male infertility and what men can do to support their fertility. She highlights the importance of recognizing that one-third of fertility struggles are related to male factor infertility and that supporting male infertility is often overlooked. Dr. Danielle explains common causes of male infertility, such as autoimmune disease, decreased sex hormones, infections, environmental and lifestyle factors, chronic disease, and certain medications. She emphasizes the importance of getting a semen analysis and hormone testing to assess fertility. Dr. Danielle also provides recommendations for optimizing male fertility, including following a Mediterranean diet, taking supplements like CoQ10 and omega-3, considering environmental toxins, and practicing appropriate intercourse practices. She addresses common questions about preparing for conception, improving sperm motility, getting a semen analysis, signs of male infertility, and the effects of marijuana on male fertility. Takeaways One-third of fertility struggles are related to male factor infertility, so it is important to recognize and support male fertility. Common causes of male infertility include autoimmune disease, decreased sex hormones, infections, environmental and lifestyle factors, chronic disease, and certain medications. Getting a semen analysis and hormone testing is recommended to assess male fertility. Optimizing male fertility can be achieved through following a Mediterranean diet, taking supplements like WeNatal, CoQ10 and omega-3, considering environmental toxins, and practicing appropriate intercourse practices. It is important for both partners to be proactive in supporting fertility and not assume that fertility struggles are solely the woman's responsibility.

I am so excited to be joined by Dr. Gates Maier for this weeks episode on the Informed Consent podcast.  Dr. Gates is a doctor at the Wellness Way Grand Rapids location, and is extremely knowledgable about health and healing the body. In this weeks episode, we are talking about the hot topic of cholesterol.  Dr. Gates debunks myths on cholesterol, talks about the panel creating the guidelines, shares how cholesterol can be GOOD for you and so much more.This episode is packed with so much great information, from an incredible intelligent individual! Thank you Dr. Gates for joining the show!About Dr. GatesDr. Gates Maier grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana passionate about 2 things, baseball and health, both of which he has a striving passion for today in Grand Rapids, MI. Dr. Gates Maier is a board-certified Doctor of Chiropractic and has always strived to empower his patient's to live life to the fullest by taking back control of their health. After high school Dr. Gates attended Indiana University where he studied Pre-Med and Kinesiology. After his undergraduate Dr. Gates pursued his Doctorate degree in Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA.  From the time he entered school he knew he was going to learn as much as he could to help his patients get back to living their life to the fullest and doing anything and everything they set their hearts on. One principle he lives and practices by is that “the human body doesn't make mistakes” and is capable of healing itself. He saw this most with his wife's health complications including eczema, migraines, chronic fatigue, and asthma – he knew there had to be a way to help other than just the conventional care for such things. Through testing and sticking to the principle of the body's healing capability he was able to help his wife! This extended into taking care of families as well after the birth of his first son which ignited a passion to continue to instill health into the next generation. His goal now is to teach families how to not only set themselves up for success in health and healing, but also how the work each individual places on their health now will feed into their kids and grandkids for generations to come.  Connect with Dr. GatesIG: @thewellnessway_gr and personal @gatesmaier_dctik tok: @twwgrandrapidsWebsite: https://www.thewellnessway.com/clinics/mi/grandrapids/wellness-center/Calendly to schedule an appiointment: https://calendly.com/twwgrandrapidsSponsors: Toxic Free CleaningUse code BROOKE30 to save 30%https://trulyfreehome.comWeNatal Prenatal - Get a FREE Omega DHA+ with a purchase of a WeNatal supplementhttps://wenatal.com/pages/partner?sscid=11k8_l9yzt&Lumebox - Red Light / Infrared Therapy Device Use link below get it about half off ($280 value)https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=1008&discount=brookebacciOrganic Herbal Remedies Use Code BROOKE10 to save 10%https://earthley.com/ref/brookebacci/

Gene mutations is becoming a hot topic today, especially the MTHFR gene break.  So many people are living with health issues, such as depression, anxiety, ADD or even addiction, with the very likely possibility that it could be caused by a gene break.  In this week's episode, I am joined by my doctor and friend, Dr. Nick, to chat all about gene mutations.  We dive into the specific gene mutations MTHFR, MTRR, and COMT, why they are important, signs that you may have the break, how to support your body if you have them and more!This is such an educational episode and feel that not only should everyone understand the concept behind gene breaks, but I believe everyone should test for them in their life because you truly don't know what an impact it could be making on your life and how you can easily support your body knowing you have it.A little bit about Dr. Nick:Dr. Nick grew up in Sterling Heights, MI where he received his undergraduate from the University of Detroit Mercy in Biology. Growing up he always knew he wanted to dedicate his life to educating people on what true health and healing really is. While pursuing a masters degree in biomedical sciences at Wayne State University he learned that the United States consumes 60% of the world's drugs yet we rank 37th out of the 39 industrialized countries in terms of the health of the population. There are 25 million pills consumed in every hour of every day. This was a huge eye opener for him! Every class period he was bombarded with these kinds of statistics and complications people could experience if they took these different types of medications. He realized that there is a time and place for drugs and realized that you cannot produce health by taking pills to treat disease because this does not address the core issue and what's really going on, it's simply masking a problem. He wanted to study health and how to create it rather than study disease and how to treat it. This is how he discovered Chiropractic.He then moved to Marietta, GA where he completed his four years in the Doctor of Chiropractic Program at Life University. During his time he was certified in two of the most advanced upper cervical techniques in chiropractic known as the Atlas Orthogonal & the Pierce Results System. These techniques use a cutting edge analysis and technology to deliver chiropractic in a scientific and reproducible manner with none of the twisting, cracking, or popping noises.Connect with Dr. Nick:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theatlasdocFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/NextGenChiropractic/Website - https://www.nextgenchiropractic.net/about-dr-nickContact - (586) 209-4236Sponsors:Toxic Free CleaningUse code BROOKE30 to save 30%https://trulyfreehome.comGrassfed Beef ProteinUse code BROOKEBACCI to save 15%https://equipfoods.com/brookebacciWeNatal Prenatal -Get a FREE Omega DHA+ with a purchase of a WeNatal supplementhttps://wenatal.com/pages/partner?sscid=11k8_l9yzt&Lumebox - Red Light / Infrared Therapy DeviceUse link below get it about half off ($280 value)https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=1008&discount=brookebacciOrganic Herbal RemediesUse Code BROOKE10 to save 10%

If there is one thing you can do for your health this year I would say it would be to ditch tap water. Water is an absolute essential for human beings to survive, from drinking it to bathing in it, yet tap water can be one of the most toxic things for us in the United States.Between the fluoride, glyphosate, atrazine and other pesticides, on top of large amounts of pharmaceuticals including birth control, antibiotics and more, water is NOT the only thing you are consuming when you drink tap water (& most bottled water too).In this weeks episode, I dive into tap water, what's all in it, what to do to avoid it, how to filter it and more.  Sources: EWG - https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/Joe Rogan Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/episode/3DQfcTY4viyXsIXQ89NXvgSponsors: Toxic Free CleaningUse code BROOKE30 to save 30%https://trulyfreehome.comMagic Mind - productivity and energy shotCONSENT20 to save 56% or use link below to save 20% off your first orderhttps://www.magicmind.com/informedconsentWeNatal Prenatal - Get a FREE Omega DHA+ with a purchase of a WeNatal supplementhttps://wenatal.com/pages/partner?sscid=11k8_l9yzt&Lumebox - Red Light / Infrared Therapy Device Use link below get it about half off ($280 value)https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=1008&discount=brookebacciOrganic Herbal Remedies Use Code BROOKE10 to save 10%https://earthley.com/ref/brookebacci/

While I do believe that eating good quality foods is so important, it is not always the answer to great health.  In fact - you may be eating some of the best quality foods on the planet (nutritional wise) but it could be a horrible food for your body.Curious what I mean? In this weeks episode, I dive into allergies and intolerance, specifically how the body and the immune system forms an antibody-like response to certain factors (including foods, environmental factors, animals, etc.)It is truly fascinating to keep digging for answers and find a simple answer in the way you feel may be from the foods you eat.Work with The Wellness Way: https://www.thewellnessway.com/clinics(I work with Dr. Gates in Grand Rapids, MI - all virtually)Podcast episode referenced: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/informed-consent/id1591226756?i=1000605309827Sponsors: Toxic Free CleaningUse code BROOKE30 to save 30%https://trulyfreehome.comMagic Mind - productivity and energy shotCONSENT20 to save 56% or use link below to save 20% off your first orderhttps://www.magicmind.com/informedconsentWeNatal Prenatal - Get a FREE Omega DHA+ with a purchase of a WeNatal supplementhttps://wenatal.com/pages/partner?sscid=11k8_l9yzt&Lumebox - Red Light / Infrared Therapy Device Use link below get it about half off ($280 value)https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=1008&discount=brookebacciOrganic Herbal Remedies Use Code BROOKE10 to save 10%https://earthley.com/ref/brookebacci/

It is my honor to be joined by Dr. Robert Kiltz this week to chat all about how what you eat impacts your health.  Dr. Kiltz is a renewed fertility doctor who talks about how diet makes a huge impact on your fertility and overall health.  In this episode, we debunk myths about beef and butter, and if they are really to blame for health issues.  We chat about why plants are toxic, the benefits of fasting and even why we should love fat.Be sure to tune in to hear all that Dr. Kiltz has to share and connect with him on his platforms.About Dr. KiltzDr. Kiltz is a renowned fertility doctor featured in The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Parents Magazine, The Today Show, and more for reducing the cost of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to 1/3 the National Average and helping shape the future of reproductive medicine.  Dr. Kiltz is a Diplomat of the AmericanBoard of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Fellowship trained and Board Certified in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.    Dr. Kiltz is the founder, director, and practicing physician at CNY Fertility. He is a previous clinical faculty member at UCSF Medical School and a current clinical faculty member at University of Syracuse Medical School. Dr. Kiltz is a passionate advocate of the ketogenic/carnivore diet for fertility and overall health and wellness. Through decades of clinical practice, hediscovered that infertility (and virtually all otherdiseases we humans suffer from) are caused primarily by the foods we eat and the frequency at which we consume them.    Dr. Kiltz believes that optimal human nutrition is obtained from eating a carnivore diet centered around fatty animal foods. Eating this way provides optimal nutrition while avoiding unhealthy carbohydrates, vegetable oils, and plant toxins. Ideally, this is combined with intermittent feasting, eating one meal a day (OMAD).  This has inspired him to share how eating the B.E.B.B.I.S. diet and evolving one's lifestyle habits can vastly improve fertility and overall health through his keto carnivore support community,  Kiltz Mighty Tribe.    Dr. Kiltz has a prolific blog in the keto carnivore space and has published several different books on a variety of topics including his most recent cookbook collaboration with Maria Emmerich, the Keto for Fertility Cookbook.  He also launched his own line of grass-fed, pasture-raised, nutritional supplements, Doctor Kiltz Nutritional Solutions.   Dr. Kiltz hosts an interview series, Carnivore Conversations, which is broadcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major podcast platforms.  Carnivore Conversations is a radical and enlightening examination of how the keto/carnivore diet can help to improve a wide range of complex health and environmental issues contributed to by the Standard American Diet (SAD).   In addition to his own media channels, Dr. Kiltz appears regularly on numerous popular blogs like DietDoctor.com and social media outlets, has shared his views as a speaker at TEDx, and is a frequent speaker at fertility and dietary conferences.Connect with Dr. Kiltz:https://www.doctorkiltz.comhttps://linktr.ee/doctorkiltzhttps://www.instagram.com/doctorkiltz/Sponsors: WeNatal Prenatal - Get a FREE Omega DHA+ with a purchase of a WeNatal supplementhttps://wenatal.com/pages/partner?sscid=11k8_l9yzt&Toxic Free CleaningUse code BROOKE30 to save 30%https://trulyfreehome.com

Sponsored by: WeNatal, BIRTHFIT, Rosemary Meran, biOptimizers, OrganifiKemi Johnson, a passionate mother, birth keeper, and activist, fearlessly challenges the flawed system in maternity care perpetuated by certain healthcare professionals. She questions the mainstream approach, lamenting the loss of autonomy among midwives who conform to what she calls the "toxic jab" of the COVID-19 vaccine. Kemi criticizes the Chief Midwifery Officer for allegedly coercing pregnant individuals into taking the experimental vaccine without sufficient safety data. She admires the few midwives who prioritize principles over conformity, expressing concern about external control over the profession. Kemi calls for radical change and independent thinking to restore respect and integrity to the field.Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Kemi's mission is to create a supportive and nurturing community.

The conversation around fertility, conception, and the prenatal process has shifted in recent years, acknowledging men's crucial role. It's a topic gaining traction, especially with the rise of companies like WeNatal, which focuses on prenatal vitamin supplements for men. This shift in focus is not just about equality in the fertility journey but also about improving the chances of conception and the health of future children. Research shows that 40-50% of infertility issues are related to sperm quality, highlighting the importance of men's health in conception.So, how can men take an active role in the prenatal process and improve their chances of successful conception? As part of National Men's Health Month, David Kemp spotlighted this issue on a special Father's Day edition of Highway to Health. Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim, co-founders of WeNatal, joined the podcast to discuss the science behind men's prenatal health, the importance of nutrients for men during the prenatal process, and how WeNatal is empowering men to take control of their fertility journey. For Menashe and Delrahim, this issue is a personal one.“In early 2020, my best friend and I experienced pregnancy loss, and it happened a week apart, which was shocking,” Menashe said. “When we dove into the research on how to optimize for a healthier pregnancy next time around, we learned about men's health and the importance of optimizing sperm before conception. We were shocked when we learned this information because nobody was talking about it. No one was talking about how important it was for men to take three months to take care of their own health, their own fertility before trying to conceive because what we learned was 50% of miscarriages and 50% of infertility happened because of sperm quality.”This episode covers the following:• The importance of men's health in the conception process and the role of sperm quality in successful pregnancies• The journey of WeNatal's co-founders and their personal experiences with fertility challenges• The experiences of a WeNatal customer, Cassi Deighan, and her husband, and how the company's products have impacted their fertility journeyRonit Menashe and Vida Delrahim are the co-founders of WeNatal. They both have personal experiences with fertility challenges and pregnancy loss, which led them to extensive research on men's health and fertility. Their findings led to WeNatal; a company dedicated to empowering men during prenatal care with scientifically backed solutions.

Most of us know someone who has struggled to get pregnant, or it may even be you. And this feeling can be devastating.  Growing up, the emphasis on pregnancy was that it could happen at any time, so don't let it happen until you're ready.  But this crucial moment in life needs planning to have the best possible outcome. One of the most important aspects of fertility and preparing to conceive is ensuring your body has the right nutrients for egg and sperm quality.  And this isn't just for the sake of fertility– but for our health regarding our hormone balance and menstrual cycle health.  Since so many women are navigating fertility journeys right now, I invited registered nutritionist Lisa Dreher here to share her research on what our bodies really need to support fertility and conception.  Lisa Dreher is the nutritional director at WeNatal– a next-generation prenatal supplement company designed for men AND women. These supplements support brain development in babies, and they optimize the health of parents before, during, and after pregnancies. WeNatal also offers a manifestation journal, free nutrition consults, and a Facebook group. They provide free educational content– like a preconception guide– to help people understand the importance of this time in their lives, and how much quality matters.  Getting pregnant and giving birth is a beautiful journey for couples.  Supporting yourself throughout pregnancy is about giving your body what it needs to thrive. So our goal in this episode is to equip you with everything you need regarding supplementation to create your perfect baby with ease and grace.  Listen now to gain all the insight from Lisa about the nutrients and supplements best for prenatal health. And if you know someone who's trying to get pregnant, send them this podcast so they can learn the tips for success as well!  LISA DREHER, MS, RDN, LDN  Lisa Dreher is a registered dietitian who earned a degree from the Rochester Institute of Technology, followed by an internship at Cornell University. She started her career in acute care and pediatric gastroenterology in Rochester, NY while getting her Master's in Nutrition and Integrative Health.  In 2015, Lisa transitioned to the field of functional medicine and began working at Dr. Mark Hyman's UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA.

When best friends Ronit & Vida both found themselves struggling to conceive they had a lightbulb moment. Here they were, taking tons of vitamins everyday to improve fertility, yet the other part of the equation, the males in their lives weren't taking anything to improve their fertility. This lightbulb moment led them to create WeNatal and transform the prenatal industry. Not only from a supplementation side, but from how couples view conception from a mind and body perspective and how both men and women can improve their health to increase their chances of a healthy pregnancy. In this episode hear the strategies that led to the successful launch of WeNatal and how these two friends work together to transform the prenatal and preconception industry. _________________________________________________To learn more about WeNatal visit https://wenatal.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Host: Brynn Marie Guests: Vida + Ronit (Founders of WeNatal) Produced by @OnairwithQ

Ali is talking to best friends this week! Today, her guests are Ronit and Vida, who met while working together at Nike in Los Angeles, who both come from health and fitness backgrounds, and who both found themselves going through infertility at the same time.  Today, they both share their infertility journeys, including how they each had a miscarriage one week apart, how they supported each other as best friends, how the losses affected their relationships with their husbands, and how they blamed themselves. They're also going to discuss how after delving into some deep research and trying to figure out the root cause of their fertility issues, they decided to found a company called We Natal. WeNatal is the first prenatal supplement intentionally optimized for her and for him. Reimagining the gender paradigms around fertility and pregnancy, WeNatal is shifting prenatal care from women-centered to couples-centered—from Me to We. For more, check out https://wenatal.com/ TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Miscarriage; infertility; sperm health; male factor infertility; pregnancy after miscarriage; prenatal supplements; genetic abnormalies; "It Starts With the Egg" book.  EPISODE SPONSORS: FERTILITY RALLY @fertilityrally www.fertilityrally.com No one should go through infertility alone.

But seriously, when will it stop? Women are often the ones to blame when talking about fertility challenges. The truth ... A third of fertility issues are dominated by men, so it's very common but remains taboo. First, nobody is to blame for fertility issues. Second, both parties should consider ways to optimize fertility health. Besides, it takes two to tango? Today, I'm in conversation with the WeNatal Founders, Ronit and Vida to chat about male fertility. If your partner is male, you'll want to get them in on this conversation too.

They connected on many life milestones, including falling in love, career advancement, getting married, and getting pregnant. In early 2020, they experienced pregnancy loss, just a week apart. They couldn't help but wonder about the root cause. After a lot of research and collaboration with fertility experts, Ronit & Vida realized just how critical preconception health is, not just for women, but for future fathers. After founding WeNatal, the first prenatal designed for both men and women, they made it a mission to educate couples and provide them both with the best nutrients possible to improve egg and sperm quality.  Connect with Ronit + Vida & WeNatal: Website: https://wenatal.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/we_natal/   Stay Connected: Get BLOOM SUMMIT TICKETS - happening in Washington, DC! https://bloomsummitdc.splashthat.com/ (tell your girls!)

[Trigger warning: in this episode, we mention pregnancy loss]So, every year on my birthday, I get a reading from a psychic, she's the High Priestess of Brooklyn. She does my tarot cards, my astrology, and tells me an outlook for the year - it's a whole thing. Two years ago, she gave me a timeline of when a baby could come into my life. It was the middle of a pandemic, I had just gone through an insane medical thing - so all signs should have pointed to, “no, thank you” for me. However, my first reaction was, “what else are we doing?” So I went to an OBGyni, took out my IUD and bought some pre-natal vitamins. Meanwhile, I neglected to tell my husband the plan from the cosmos and the doctor until I came home with those gigantic pills. We, of course, had a discussion, during which we realized that our timing was not aligned with the timing of the stars. But I come back to those pre-natal vitamins, time and time again. Sitting in a giant container in my cupboard. Doctors tell us to take them before trying to conceive, and while pregnant, but why and which vitamins really matter?Then a few months ago, I met the co-founders of WeNatal, Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim. They met while working at Nike and became fast friends. They bonded over the shared experience of pregnancy loss and Ronit did what a nutrition-obsessed human does. She started looking at studies and consulting with experts like Dr. Mark Hyman to try to figure out how to optimize her chances of having a successful pregnancy.And she came to find that the sperm of it all is often left out of the nutrition equation for people trying to conceive. Often, the burden of fertility and infertility is put on the human giving birth, but that's really only one piece. So here's the lunacy: sperm regenerates around every 70-ish days, but it could as quickly as every 40 days according to new studies. That means prenatal vitamins for men can have a real impact on the quality of sperm, and quickly.So together, the pair created a prenatal vitamin that's meant to address this, creating vitamins for both men and women who are trying to conceive that address the very unique needs of each side of the coin.And I want to acknowledge that all sorts of families are bringing life into the world, with two mommies, two daddies, or just one loving parent. And WeNatal serves those needs too - now we just need to get men's prenatal vitamins into sperm banks …It's also important to note that as a human or a couple is trying to conceive they can do absolutely everything "right" and still need help with fertility. That's more than OK.Ronit, Vida and I discuss a lot of pregnancy nutrition questions I have as well as what it took to formulate these vitamins. I'm excited for you to hear this interview, no matter if you never want kids, are riding a fence, or are trying to conceive right now. Resources: Learn more about WeNatal and learn more about the research they'd doneFollow @We_Natal on InstagramStats and facts on sperm regeneration here.Woman is born with all of the eggs she'll ever haveFolate Study: You'll hear the pair discuss folate on the episode. Here's more about why: In a 2018 study - Thirty couples with fertility problems lasting for at least 4 years were included in this program. At least one of the partners was a carrier of the MTHFR genetic mutation which we know 40-50% of people have. The couples were given 600 micrograms of folate per day for 3 months, Thirteen of the couples were able to conceive.Extensive research has been conducted to study the effect of antioxidant therapy in improving male fertility. .Taking the right amount of nutrients for women AND men before pregnancy assists in the growth, development, and long-term health of future children. Antioxidants may increase male fertility four-fold and can increase the chance of a successful pregnancy by up to five times.Men's health tied to pregnancy lossSperm counts have dropped 60% since 1973 and could reach zero by 2045.New research suggests that sperm plays a greater role in pregnancy success and healthy offspring than we ever realized. Scientists observed sperm "communicating" with the female immune system with triggered changes in gene expression of the female's immune signaling molecules. This supported acceptance of the new embryo and reduced risk of pregnancy loss.

The art of (pre)conception. WeNatal co-founders Ronit and Vida have been lifelong friends and both experienced an early pregnancy loss in 2020, which spurred them to create a company to help create healthier babies.They talk about motherhood, entrepreneurship (WeNatal is backed by some of the biggest names in the medical field), what to do if you're expecting (or NOT expecting!), and much more.WeNatal has now LAUNCHED and is available for purchase!

If you're in your reproductive years, are currently pregnant or trying to get pregnant, or have experienced miscarriages or infertility, today's episode is going to be a ray of light.I'm joined by Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim, two mamas who founded a prenatal vitamin company for both men and women. It's called WeNatal, and it was born after both Ronit and Vida experienced miscarriages within a week of each other. Their doctors gave them the usual spiel (your eggs are old, it happens, try again), but Ronit and Vida wanted better answers.They dug into the research and found that men account for 50% of infertility and pregnancy health but no one was talking about it! They set out to create a prenatal vitamin company for men to increase the quality of sperm. But along the way, they realized that women's prenatals needed an overhaul.So they got to work and teamed up with key medical advisors like Dr. Mark Hyman, Chris Kresser and Kelly Leveque to formulate the cleanest, most bioavailable prenatal vitamins as affordably as they could (without compromising on quality) for both men and women.Theirs is a holistic approach to conception that involves both the body and the mind: their prenatals come with a Journal that supports couples through this crucial time frame and guides them on manifesting the family of their dreams.They are truly transforming prenatal health and we are here for it!Follow them in Instagram @We_NatalFor more information or to order, visit Prenatal Vitamins for Him + Her | WeNatal
