Women are born with a fixed number of eggs, but their quality can improve. Men make new sperm every 72 days. A three-month "trimester 0" before conception, focused on health and lifestyle, can enhance egg and sperm quality and affect your child's long-term health.

Sperm and egg quality can be improved. And that's a big psa, because I think the narrative out there oftentimes is that your fertility is fixed. As women, we are born with the eggs that we're born with, and there's nothing you could do. This was the hand that you were dealt with. Eggs mature over about 100 days, and then sperm regenerates every 72 days. So what that means is that if you invest in trimester 0, you regenerate new sperm. If you're a man and for a woman, you can improve your egg quality. You're not regenerating your eggs, but you can really improve your egg quality and how it matures. And that investment, those three months, can really shape the entire life of your future child. And I feel like that's why we are so passionate about trimester 0 and this moment in time that nobody really talks about.
