The Dr. Phil Podcast - How to Reverse the American Fertility Crisis - With Ann Shippy, MD

I recently had the chance to sit down with Dr. Phil on his podcast, and we had a truly meaningful conversation about what’s actually happening with fertility today, for both women and men.

We talked about factors that most people don’t immediately think about...how toxins, chronic inflammation, endocrine disruptors, stress, even the microbiome, can quietly affect egg and sperm health long before you even start trying to conceive.

I also explained how even couples in their 40s can make powerful changes that improve their fertility outcomes, lower miscarriage risk, and support a healthier genetic and epigenetic foundation for their future children.

We went into some of the bigger drivers we’re seeing clinically too… including the growing male fertility crisis.

And of course, Dr. Phil brought in the psychological side of it all—the confusion, the mixed messaging, the pressure so many people feel when they’re thinking about starting a family.

This conversation is about spreading awareness, and sharing how small, intentional changes today can make a real difference in a child’s health before they’re even conceived.

We also discussed my book, The Preconception Revolution.
