Men contribute to nearly 50% of infertility and miscarriage outcomes, yet women continue carrying almost the entire emotional, physical, and nutritional burden of conception.


In this deeply moving conversation, Ronit shares how grief became purpose, how she naturally conceived at 42 after focusing on both partners' health, and why fertility isn't simply about age—it's about creating health before pregnancy begins.


Whether you're navigating infertility, miscarriage, pregnancy loss, trying to conceive, or simply want to better understand your body, this episode will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and hopeful.

Ronit Menashe is the co-founder of WeNatal, the first prenatal supplement system designed for both women and men. After she and her co-founder experienced miscarriages just one week apart, they uncovered a critical gap in fertility care: men account for nearly half of infertility and miscarriage outcomes, yet are rarely included in the conversation. Today, Ronit is helping couples prepare for pregnancy through science-backed nutrition, education, and a more holistic approach to fertility.
