Why Fertility Needs to Be a “We” Conversation

HOST – Michelle Dempsey:
If you’re trying to conceive later in life, in a second marriage, or after a history of loss, this conversation is for you. Today we’re joined by Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim, founders of WeNatal, the first prenatal supplement company designed for both men and women. We dive deep into fertility science, sperm health, emotional resilience, and the myths keeping couples from achieving their family dreams.

How Two Losses Sparked a Movement

GUEST – VIDA:
Our brand was born from grief. I had a miscarriage shortly after Ronit gave birth, and a week later she had one too. We were both dismissed by our doctors and given no clear direction. That moment was earth-shattering but it also revealed a major gap in fertility care.

GUEST – RONIT:
Even after doing all the “right” things—clean eating, supplements, no toxins—I lost the pregnancy. But I had access to functional medicine experts like Dr. Mark Hyman and dug deeper. That’s when we learned something shocking: men account for 50% of pregnancy health, and their sperm regenerates every 72 days.

What If He’s the Missing Link?

HOST – Michelle Dempsey:
A lot of women say, “I’m doing everything right… why isn’t it working?” But men often dismiss their role, saying, “I had a kid 10 years ago, I’m fine.” How do you change that mindset?

GUEST – RONIT:
That’s exactly why WeNatal exists. Research shows that men who take key nutrients like CoQ10, NAC, and Vitamin C improve their chances of conception by 4x, and increase live birth rates by 5x. We designed a men’s prenatal to meet this need and our customers are seeing results.

The Science Behind Egg and Sperm Quality

GUEST – VIDA:
Here’s what most people don’t realize:

  • Egg quality is impacted during the 3 months before ovulation
  • Mitochondrial health is key — aging eggs = higher chromosomal abnormalities
  • Men’s sperm can regenerate fully in just 90 days with the right nutrients
  • Testosterone therapy in men can kill sperm production

HOST – Michelle Dempsey:
Wow. Science is wild. And we’re never taught this growing up.

Stress, Miscarriage, and Second Chances

GUEST – VIDA:
Stress plays a huge role in fertility. That’s why we created the WeNatal Manifestation Journal, which includes:

  • Conversation prompts for couples
  • Daily gratitude pages
  • Visualization exercises to reduce anxiety

“The mind and body are not separate. You cannot heal one without the other.” – VIDA

What Else Boosts Fertility Naturally?

GUEST – RONIT & VIDA:

  • Acupuncture: Increases blood flow, improves IVF success
  • Movement: Moderate exercise, not high-intensity cortisol spikes
  • Mediterranean Diet: Rainbow eating, clean protein, healthy fats
  • Blood Sugar Balance: Especially important for PCOS-related infertility
  • Cutting Alcohol: Even moderate drinking damages sperm directly

“The quality of your eggs and sperm can improve in just 90 days with the right support.” – RONIT

Building a Community That Supports You

  • A private Facebook group for members
  • Direct voice DMs and support
  • Free nutrition consultations with every order
  • A Masterclass featuring 11 expert-led episodes on fertility

“You need a guide you can trust. We created what we wish we had.” – VIDA
