Episode Description from the Publisher

If you've been told your fertility testing looks "normal" but you're still not getting pregnant, there's an important group of nutrients that may be getting overlooked. Vitamins A, D, E, and K play critical roles in egg quality, sperm health, implantation, immune function, hormone production, and your baby's earliest stages of development—yet they're rarely evaluated before fertility treatment begins. In this episode, I'm breaking down why these fat-soluble vitamins matter so much for fertility, where to find them in food, what the research says about deficiency, and why gut health and gallbladder function are just as important as the nutrients themselves. Understanding how these vitamins work together can help you build a healthier foundation before pregnancy and support better fertility outcomes naturally.
