In this episode of The Art of Being Well, I sit down with Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim, founders of WeNatal, to discuss their mission to transform the fertility space for both men and women. After experiencing personal loss, Ronit and Vida set out to revolutionize the conversation around reproductive health, shifting the focus from “me” to “we.” We explore the global fertility crisis, uncover common myths, and highlight actionable steps to optimize fertility during the critical preconception window. This episode is filled with empowering insights for anyone looking to take control of their reproductive health.

Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim are the founders of WeNatal, a prenatal supplement company that is transforming the fertility space with the first prenatal supplement optimized for her AND him. WeNatal’s mission to change the narrative surrounding fertility and reproductive health is personal; after suffering miscarriages a week apart Ronit and Vida were given little direction on what to do differently. More importantly, the health of Ronit & Vida’s partners (including the health of their sperm) was completely missing from their fertility dialogue with their doctors… something had to change. WeNatal  shifts the fertility journey from “me” to “we” and is revolutionizing the prenatal space with a formulation team composed of industry leading Functional Medicine doctors, nutritionists, and fertility experts, including Dr. Mark Hyman and Kelly LeVeque. With 24 key clean, bioavailable nutrients, WeNatal steps up where other supplements fall short for all things preconception to postpartum for both parents and baby.
