Summary

Here’s what nobody tells you about pregnancy: you’re ignoring half the genetic equation. Dr. Labib Ghulmiyyah drops a truth bomb that should fundamentally change how we approach conception, men need pregnancy preparation as much as women, period. Your sperm isn’t just a delivery vehicle, it’s carrying epigenetic instructions that will influence your child’s chronic disease risk, neurodevelopment, and lifelong health trajectory. Time to step up, gentlemen, your biology matters more than you think.

0:00.0	One thing I tell patients before they get pregnant to prepare for the pregnancy as much as they prepare for their wedding.
0:06.0	And I think also one area that we forget to talk about is the preparation of the men for the pregnancy.
0:12.0	I love what you say about preparing the husband along with the wife because I think that spousal support is so critical.
0:18.0	It's a two-player game. It can be one person and I think we throw pregnancy on women and men should play a role and being supportive,
0:24.6	and when you have this support, you will make a difference.
