Fertility - masterclass

Send us Fan Mail Episode #91: Fertility — The Conversation We Need to Have **What a gift this episode is. ❤️** Episode #91 of the **multi-award nominated podcast *Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS*** is here — and for the first time, we dive into a topic that is deeply sensitive, incredibly emotional, and hugely important: **FERTILITY.** And wow… what a conversation. I’m joined by the incredible **Gabriela Rosa, DrPH (Harvard University)** — Harvard-awarded fertility specialist, founder of The Rosa Institute, author of *Fertility Breakthrough*, and a pioneer in integrative fertility care. This episode challenges so many of the assumptions we have accepted around fertility. Including: 👨 **Men’s health matters.** Yes — men! Fertility isn't simply a "women's issue." Male health and sperm quality can be critical pieces of the puzzle. 🧬 **Superhero sperm matters!** It’s not simply about getting pregnant. The quality of sperm matters — and there is far more we can potentially influence than many people realise. 🍬 **Insulin resistance matters.** Metabolic health can play a significant role in reproductive health, yet how often do we connect these dots? 📚 **Are our fertility guidelines keeping up?** Gabriela challenges the limitations of guidelines that can be outdated, overly focused on treatment rather than prevention, and often fail to address the **root causes**. 🌱 **Root causes matter.** Nutrition. Metabolic health. Lifestyle. Environment. Sperm health. Egg health. And so much more. Gabriela has helped more than **204,000 people across 111 countries** through her proprietary **F.E.R.T.I.L.E. Method®**, with published research on her signature programme reporting a **78.8% live birth rate among patients** — including people who had experienced years of infertility, recurrent miscarriage and unsuccessful treatments. And then there is **The Fertility Challenge** — a free global online programme supporting tens of thousands of participants every year. This isn't just another podcast episode. It's a conversation about **hope, science, health, partnership and looking beyond the obvious.** If fertility has touched your life — directly or indirectly — **this episode is worth every second.** 🎧 **Episode #91 is out now.** Please listen. Please learn. Please challenge what you think you know. And most importantly… **PLEASE SHARE IT.** Because someone in your network may desperately need to hear this conversation.
