What Doctors Don't Tell You About Fertility with Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim from WeNatal
Tue Dec 02 2025
Ronit and Vida are the co-founders of WeNatal, a company revolutionizing how we think about fertility. These two best friends met nearly 20 years ago climbing the corporate ladder at Nike, but it wasn't until they both experienced devastating miscarriages within a week of each other that they discovered their true mission.
When their doctors told them "it's common, there's nothing you can do," they refused to accept that answer. What they uncovered changed everything: men contribute to 50% of pregnancy health and pregnancy loss, and sperm quality can be dramatically improved through targeted nutrition.
In this conversation, we explore:
The hidden truth about male fertility - Why prenatals for men didn't exist and how sperm quality directly impacts miscarriage rates
What "trimester zero" really means - The critical 3-month window before conception that most couples ignore
Why "geriatric pregnancy" language is harmful - How medical narratives rob women of agency and what to do instead
Practical detox strategies - Simple household changes that reduce toxic load and support fertility for both partners
The role of stress in conception - Why you can check every box nutritionally but still struggle if your nervous system is dysregulated
This conversation is for anyone navigating a fertility journey or wanting to optimize their health for future conception. It's honest, vulnerable, and packed with actionable guidance you can implement today.
