Pursuing Health

As we near the 10-year mark of Pursuing Health, I’m excited to bring you another solo episode! In this one, I reflect on how my mindset evolved throughout my competitive CrossFit career, and how I came to understand the powerful role our internal narratives play in shaping our lives. I’ll also share the strategies I still use today to cultivate the best version of myself. I’d love to hear from you! What topics or guests would you like to see featured on the podcast? Are you interested in more solo episodes, or is there something specific you’re curious about? My focus continues to evolve, and I imagine yours does too—so let’s shape the journey together!

Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim are the visionary co-founders of WeNatal, a pioneering prenatal supplement company dedicated to supporting both women and men on their fertility journeys. Their partnership began over 15 years ago at Nike, where they forged a deep friendship that would later evolve into a shared mission. After experiencing miscarriages just a week apart, Ronit and Vida were struck by the lack of guidance and the absence of male-focused fertility support in traditional prenatal care. This realization propelled them to create WeNatal, aiming to shift the conversation from "me" to "we" in reproductive health. Backed by leading functional medicine doctors and nutritionists, WeNatal offers science-backed, clean, and bioavailable supplements designed to optimize fertility and overall health for both partners from preconception through postpartum.
