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?
