About this episode

Dr. Ann Shippy discusses the fertility crisis and how family choices impact health across generations.

The fertility crisis isn't just about adults who are trying to have a baby. It may start years earlier than we realize. In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Ann Shippy shares why the everyday choices we make as families can shape not only our own health but the health of generations to come. Ginny and Dr. Shippy talk about environmental toxins, nutrition, stress, time outside, the surprising role dads play in fertility, and why she believes parents should already be thinking about protecting their teenagers' fertility. If you've ever wondered whether the little choices really matter, this episode offers both practical ideas and genuine hope.
