48. Gut Health & Fertility: How Inflammation Impacts Egg and Sperm Quality with Aimee Raupp

If you’re feeling frustrated, heartbroken, or completely confused by your fertility journey after a vasectomy reversal—this episode is for you. You’ve been told everything looks “normal,” but you’re still not getting pregnant. You’ve tried tracking, timing, maybe even medications… yet no one is talking to you about your gut health, your inflammation, or how those two things could be quietly impacting your chances of conceiving. In this episode, I’m joined by bestselling author, acupuncturist, and fertility expert Aimee Raupp to explore the critical (and often ignored) link between gut health, inflammation, and egg and sperm quality. Aimee shares her holistic approach to supporting fertility after vasectomy reversal—one that goes far beyond the standard protocols and digs into the root causes of infertility. We talk about: How chronic inflammation affects both egg and sperm quality Why gut health is the foundation of hormone balance and fertility What conventional fertility clinics often miss—and how to advocate for more complete care Practical lifestyle shifts that reduce inflammation and improve conception outcomes The emotional toll of being told you're "just too old"—and why that's not the full story If you’re trying to conceive after a vasectomy reversal and feeling unseen or unsupported, this episode will validate what your intuition has been telling you: there’s more to the story, and there’s more you can do—starting with your gut.
