I was honored to be a guest on the Feel Freaking Amazing™ podcast with hosts Edwin Levitran, MD, and Wendie Trubow, MD.
This was a deeply meaningful conversation where I shared insights from years of helping couples uncover the often-overlooked root causes of fertility challenges—and how addressing them can make a meaningful impact not only on fertility, but also on the health of the pregnancy and the long-term well-being of the child.
Fertility Is Your Body’s Check Engine Light
I often remind my patients that difficulty conceiving is often a signal from the body that something needs attention. Whether it’s a high toxic burden, nutrient depletion, chronic inflammation, or a combination of these, these imbalances matter. In this episode, I explain why addressing root causes (rather than jumping straight to interventions like IVF) can shift not only fertility outcomes, but your child’s health from the very beginning.
Men Matter More Than They Think
Preconception conversations tend to focus on women, but sperm health is equally important—and highly responsive to change. I walk through how environmental toxins, ultra-processed foods, and lifestyle factors impact sperm quality, and how these epigenetic signals can be passed to future generations. The encouraging news is that meaningful improvements can happen in a relatively short window.
What’s Actually in Your Body
Even patients doing “everything right” are often surprised by their toxicant test results. From gas appliances to personal care products, pesticides, and plastics, exposures add up quickly. I share the advanced testing I use in my practice, common hidden sources, and how to begin reducing your toxic load in a strategic, sustainable way.
