The Hidden Causes of Infertility: Stress, Sleep, Diet, and Environmental Toxins

Fertility is something many couples struggle with quietly.

Stress.

Long work hours.

Financial pressure.

Environmental toxins.

Birth rates are dropping worldwide, and more couples are facing “unexplained infertility.”

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Marina, OB-GYN, to talk about what’s really happening — and what couples can actually control.

We cover:

• Why global fertility rates are falling

• The real impact of stress on conception

• The connection between sleep and fertility

• How diet affects both egg and sperm health

• The overlooked role of endocrine-disrupting chemicals

• Why infertility is a couple’s issue — not just a women’s issue

• IVF realities and success rates

• Functional medicine vs. conventional medicine approaches

• Practical ways to reduce toxin exposure

• Simple habits that can improve fertility outcomes

Dr. Marina shares real examples from her 35 years in practice — including how small changes made a major difference for patients struggling to conceive.

We also discuss:

• The Environmental Working Group (EWG) resources

• Heart rate variability and stress reduction tools

• Why sperm counts have declined over 50% in two decades

• How lifestyle habits compound over time

This is not just about pregnancy.

It’s about health, long-term wellness, and the future of society.

If you or someone you love is thinking about starting a family—or struggling to grow one—this episode offers clarity and practical insight.
