The Experts w/ Dr Jenelle Kim

Vida Delrahim of WeNatal on Fertility, Preconception & Why Men Matter Too

What if fertility isn’t just a woman’s issue — but a shared health conversation that should begin long before anyone is trying to conceive? In this episode of The Experts, Dr. Jenelle Kim sits down with Vida Delrahim, co-founder of WeNatal, to unpack one of the most important and often misunderstood conversations in modern wellness: preconception health. From pregnancy loss and self-advocacy, to male fertility, egg quality, nutrient depletion, postpartum recovery, and the reality of our increasingly toxic, nutrient-depleted world, this conversation is both deeply personal and incredibly practical. Together, they explore why fertility should be treated like a team sport, why preparation matters, and how supporting the body before pregnancy is really about building long-term health for everyone involved. 🔥 In this MUST-WATCH episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why fertility should never be framed as only a women’s issue ✅ The overlooked role men play in pregnancy health and conception ✅ Why the 3 months before trying to conceive matter so much ✅ How nutrition, lifestyle, stress, and sleep affect fertility ✅ The truth about egg quality vs. egg quantity ✅ Why postpartum depletion is real and
