Jun 05, 2025


Episode 101 of the Practical Nontoxic Living Podcast

Fertility struggles are often treated with medications and procedures—but what if the real root cause is inflammation?

In episode 100 of Practical Nontoxic Living, Sophia Ruan Gushee sits down with Dr. Robert Kiltz, founder of CNY Fertility and one of the most respected reproductive endocrinologists in the U.S. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Kiltz explains how chronic inflammation disrupts fertility, and how a holistic lifestyle—including a high-fat, high-protein diet, mindfulness, and reduced toxic exposures—can dramatically improve natural conception and IVF outcomes.

🎯 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why inflammation is the root cause of many fertility challenges

  • How to naturally improve egg and sperm quality

  • The link between toxic exposures, diet, and reproductive health

  • Dr. Kiltz’s holistic fertility protocol, grounded in decades of clinical success

Whether you’re trying to conceive, planning for IVF, or simply interested in how lifestyle influences hormonal and reproductive health, this episode offers science-backed, empowering insights.
