Here’s what to expect from this episode:
When my doctor told me to simply "go pick up a prenatal" from the grocery store, I was overwhelmed by the amount of options and quickly came to realize that not all prenatal supplements are created equal. This experience prompted me to do my own research and truly understand the intricacies of preconception and fertility. If you’ve ever felt confused or overwhelmed by the world of prenatal supplements and fertility advice, this episode is for you.
Today, I sit down with Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim, the founders of WeNatal. We dive deep into the fertility crisis our generation is currently facing and explore why men need to be part of the preconception journey. We discover what traditional doctors may miss the mark on when it comes to fertility myths around preconception. We’ll also dive into the key nutrients we need during this phase, important nutrition and lifestyle factors that can contribute to conception and a healthy pregnancy and, oh, so much more!
Meet Ronit and Vida:
Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim, founders of WeNatal, have created a prenatal supplement company with a unique approach, focusing on both women and men to shift the fertility and pregnancy narrative from "me" to "we." With the support of doctors and nutrition experts, WeNatal provides an innovative prenatal option, ensuring couples and babies thrive during life's crucial growth stages. Their formula includes 100% clean ingredients, such as choline and Omega DHA +, in bioavailable forms with the right functional doses, all tested and verified by third parties to be non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free.
