Summary
In this episode, Diane sits down with Vida Delrahim, co-founder of WeNatal and former Nike Senior Marketing Director, to talk about rethinking fertility, hormone health, and family wellness. After experiencing miscarriage and navigating parenthood later in life, Vida shifted her focus from brand marketing to reproductive health, with a mission to move the conversation from “me” to “we.” We discuss why fertility is not just about getting pregnant, but a foundation for long-term hormone balance, energy, and emotional wellbeing - even beyond the childbearing years. Vida shares how nutrient depletion, stress, and lack of recovery can contribute to burnout for moms, and offers simple, sustainable ways to support your health without adding more to your plate. We also talk about why fertility and hormone health should be a shared responsibility between partners, and how small, intentional habits can shape the long-term health of your entire family.
