Summary
Sperm counts have dropped 60% in 60 years and if nothing changes, they could reach zero by 2045. Yet we still only talk about women when it comes to fertility. In this episode, I sit down with Ronit Menashe and Vida Rahim, the founders of WeNatal, to have the conversation the fertility world keeps skipping. In this episode, we cover: Why 50% of miscarriages and infertility are linked to male factor sperm quality The truth about microplastics, BPA, and phthalates destroying fertility What "Trimester Zero" is and why the 100 days before conception matter most The MTHFR gene mutation (40–60% of people have it) and why folic acid isn't enough How to actually improve egg quality and sperm quality through nutrition and lifestyle The Mediterranean diet, DHA, and why 70% of your baby's brain depends on what you take before pregnancy Postpartum depletion, why the prenatal doesn't stop at birth Thank you to our sponsors: ClearStem — Get a FREE mini Hydro Glow Plumping Moisturizer with any $75+ order: https://clearstem.com/pages/samcfit-may26 Code: SAMCFIT Caraway — Non-toxic cookware10% off: https://www.carawayhome.com/empwr | Code: EMPWR Sam's LINKS: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Samcfit EMPWR by Sam App | *free 7 day trial* https://www.empwrbysam.com/ My Macro Guide: https://samcfit.com/macro-guide-only Running Programs: https://www.samcfit.com/running-programs Follow Sam: Insta: @samcfit_ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Samantha_Christine Resources Mentioned: WeNatal — Special offer for EMPWR listeners: https://wenatal.com/empower Book: Countdown by Dr. Shana Swan Netflix Documentary: The Plastic Detox EWG App - toxin checker for products Think Dirty App - toxin checker for products Real Foodology Podcast by Courtney Swan #fertility #prenatal #wenatal #maleinfert…
