In this podcast segment, host Josh Trent interviews Raneet Manasha and Vida Delrahim, co‑founders of the prenatal supplement brand We Natal. They argue that male health accounts for roughly half of miscarriage and infertility cases, emphasizing that conception is a shared responsibility. The conversation introduces the concept of "Trimester 0," a 90‑day pre‑conception window where both partners should focus on diet, lifestyle, nutrient intake, and toxin reduction before any medical intervention. They explain how chronic stress and a fight‑or‑flight response divert blood away from reproductive organs, hindering conception, and share personal experiences of miscarriage despite doing everything "right." Their insights led them to create prenatal supplements designed for both men and women, aiming to address root causes of reproductive challenges through a holistic, team‑sport approach to health.

When do couples stop trying to have a baby and start receiving one?
You're not just trying to get pregnant. You are giving your baby the blueprint for their entire life.
Women are carrying the burden of the load when really it takes two partners leveling up their health and treating it like a team sport.
Miscarriage is 50% linked to male factor and infertility is as well.
Best friends Raneet Manasha and Vida Delrahim both miscarried after doing everything right, leading them to found We Natal prenatal supplements. For men and women.
If you are in fight or flight, it quite literally sends blood to your limbs as if you're being chased, and it's deprioritizing conception. I didn't realize that my sheer Type A control freak grip was not allowing my body to do what it knows how to do. It's about stepping back, having gratitude, letting your body know it's safe to bring a baby into this world. And that was what I was missing in my first miscarriage.
I was literally having a chokehold on trying to have a kid. Trimester 0 is a window of 90 days, essentially, which is the most important trimester. No IVF, no intervention, just focusing on the basics consistently for both of us— diet, lifestyle, nutrients, reducing toxins. In medicine, there is a root cause to almost everything, so why wouldn't there be a root cause to miscarriage or infertility?
