Infertility Root Causes: Toxins, Sperm Damage, and What to Do Before IVF With Gabriela Rosa
What if the reason you can't get pregnant has as much to do with his health as yours? Most fertility conversations start and end with a woman's eggs and her age. Yet close to 80% of IVF cycles don't end in a live birth, and couples are spending $25,000 a round to find that out.
Today I'm joined by fertility specialist Dr. Gabriela Rosa, who has spent 25 years helping couples who've been trying for four years or more. She explains why fertility is a team sport, how drinking, smoking, toxins, and age drive sperm DNA fragmentation, and why preconception care really takes 12 months, not three.
Gabriela also shares her fertility method, which produced a 78.8% live birth rate in couples who felt they'd tried everything. You'll also learn why small daily moments of joy may matter more than you think. If you or someone you love is trying to conceive, this conversation offers a clear, hopeful place to start.
"Act pregnant now to get pregnant later, having in mind that you already have within you right now 50% of the little baby that you want to create." ~ Dr. Gabriela Rosa
