You’re not doing this alone. While a woman’s health contributes 40% to the fertility equation, another 40% comes from the man. In this episode, Carly and Dr. Clark explore how a partner’s lifestyle, nutrition, and health choices can directly affect fertility and future pregnancy outcomes. They talk about how poor sperm quality can increase miscarriage risk, affect the pregnancy itself, and even influence the future health of your baby. Then they go over exactly what men should be doing to increase their fertility health. This is the episode to send to your partner.

In this episode we tackle the biggest fertility myths—raw milk, sex to induce labor, getting pregnant in your forties, the Shettles Method (aka “choosing” your baby’s gender), microplastics, and more. Carly asks the real questions, and Dr. Melissa Clark brings the science, the truth, and some judgment (don’t worry, it’s gentle). This episode is your ultimate no-BS guide to fertility fact vs. fiction. If you’ve ever gotten fertility advice from the internet or your mother-in-law and thought that can’t possibly be true, then this episode is for you.

Today on the pod, it’s test day. But don’t worry–this episode is for anyone who gets overwhelmed by tests. Carly and Dr. Clark tell you everything your doctor won't about your tests: which tests are essential, which ones are overlooked, and how most OBs are missing key markers that could impact fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and long-term health. They cover everything from thyroid panels to sex hormones, cholesterol, methylation, heavy metals, iron levels, and more. They also talk about how to advocate for yourself around testing and what labs are worth self-ordering. Oh, and Carly talks about the time she had to draw so much blood it took two days.
