By 2045, Sperm Counts Could Hit Zero: Vida Delrahim on Trimester Zero & The Male Fertility Crisis | Ep 60

from The Manage Her · host Aimee Rickabus

Send us Fan MailVida Delrahim was 14 weeks pregnant when her OBGYN went silent and said the words she'll never forget: "I'm so sorry. There's no heartbeat." A year later, after a second miscarriage with no medical explanation, she got a phone call from her best friend Ronit — who had lost her pregnancy the same week. WeNatal was born from that call.In this episode, Vida sits down with Aimee to talk about the fertility conversation no one is having: that men are 50% of the equation, that sperm counts have dropped 50% in two generations, and that Dr. Shanna Swan's research projects we could effectively reach zero sperm by 2045. She unpacks "trimester zero" — the 90 days before conception that may matter more than anything else — and why the term geriatric pregnancy is one of the most damaging labels in modern medicine.If you've ever been told you're "too old," that your labs are "normal," or that fertility is "a women's issue" — this conversation will change how you think about your body, your partner, and the future of reproductive health.Head over to wenatal.com/THEMANAGEHER to start your WeNatal routine today, and receive a free magnesium supplement ($30 value) with your first prenatal subscription.Connect with Vida & WeNatal: Website: https://wenatal.com Instagram: @vidadelrahim · @we_natal TikTok: @wenatalConnect with The Manage Her: Web: https://www.themanageher.com IG / TikTok / YouTube / LinkedIn: @themanageher———The Manage Her® Podcast — hosted by Aimee Rickabus.
