In this conversation on the What They Don’t Tell Us podcast with Tracy Harmoush, we talk about one of the biggest health conversations people are still not having enough: fertility is deeply connected to overall health.
Right now, 1 in 6 couples struggle with infertility, sperm counts have dropped significantly over the past several decades, and chronic health conditions affecting children continue to rise. In my practice, I often see fertility challenges as the body’s way of signaling that something deeper is going on beneath the surface.
We discuss how toxins, mold exposure, chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction can quietly affect both egg and sperm quality long before someone starts trying to conceive.
I also share why I believe fertility should be viewed proactively, not reactively, and why both men and women need to be part of the conversation.
Tracy shares parts of her own fertility journey, including the toxin results that stopped her in her tracks and the difficult decisions she faced after trying to conceive naturally for years.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why infertility can be a warning sign that the body needs support
- The connection between environmental toxins and fertility
- Why sperm health matters just as much as egg quality
- Mold exposure and hormone disruption
- Testosterone therapy, GLP-1 medications, and fertility
- Whether egg and sperm quality can improve
- Functional medicine strategies to support fertility and future generational health
- The foundational nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle shifts I often recommend before conception
My hope is that this conversation empowers people to ask deeper questions, better understand their bodies, and recognize that many of these challenges are not simply “bad luck.” When we address root causes and create the right environment for healing, the body often has an incredible capacity to recover and thrive.
