Wellness Mama Podcast: Beyond Age—The Real Drivers of Fertility

I joined Katie Wells on the Wellness Mama Podcast to discuss the science behind fertility, the factors contributing to declining fertility rates, and why the months before conception matter so much for both reproductive outcomes and long-term child health.

Our conversation explores the often-overlooked influences on egg and sperm quality, including environmental toxins, nutrient status, mitochondrial function, inflammation, metabolic health, sleep, and stress.

We also discuss the research behind my book, The Preconception Revolution, and why I believe preconception care represents one of the most important opportunities to improve the health of future generations.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why fertility rates are declining and the factors driving the trend
• How environmental toxins can affect fertility, pregnancy, and child health
• The role of mitochondria in egg quality, sperm quality, and reproductive health
• Key nutrients that support fertility and healthy fetal development
• How epigenetics influences the health of future generations
• Common sources of plastics, PFAS, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals
• Practical strategies to reduce toxic burden before conception
• Why optimizing health before pregnancy can influence lifelong wellness
