Ep 43: The Fertility Myths You Still Believe — with the Founders of We Natal

For generations, we’ve been told a simple story: fertility just happens. Try hard enough, be patient, and eventually it will work. But for WeNatal founders Ronit Menashe and Vita Delrahim, that belief led to heartbreak — miscarriages just one week apart, each followed by the same vague explanation: “It’s just bad luck.”

They didn’t accept that. Instead, they started asking deeper questions — and what they uncovered challenged everything they’d been taught about conception. From the global fertility crisis to sperm count decline, toxin overload, and the outdated notion that fertility is “a women’s issue,” their discoveries revealed a shocking truth: we’ve been approaching fertility all wrong.

On this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany McDaniel sits down with the WeNatal co-founders to expose what’s really driving modern infertility, why men make up half the fertility equation, and how couples can reclaim their power long before the positive pregnancy test.

Together, Bethany, Ronit, and Vita unpack the environmental, biological, and emotional forces shaping fertility today. They explore the dramatic 50-year decline in sperm counts; the rising rates of miscarriage, autoimmune conditions, and hormonal dysfunction; and why “trimester zero” — the 3–6 months before conception — is where the real magic happens.

This episode is packed with practical insights for every couple: how to detox your environment, strengthen your mitochondria, choose the right prenatal, regulate stress, improve sleep, and understand the profound genetic impact of men’s health on future children.

Above all, it’s a hopeful conversation. Because once you understand the factors influencing fertility, there is so much you can do to improve it.
