It Takes Two: Rethinking Fertility Beyond the Female Body with Gabriela Rosa

In this episode of Reproductive Rebel, we unravel the deeply ingrained myth that fertility is solely a “female issue.” Host Adrienne Irizarry, a holistic women’s health practitioner, invites you into a real, raw, and informed conversation about why fertility must be seen through a whole-body, whole-couple lens.

Together, we explore:

• The silent epidemic of male-factor infertility
• How sperm health is impacted by stress, environment, and nutrition
• Why fertility treatments often overlook the role of the male partner
• How couples can co-regulate, support each other, and reclaim fertility as a team effort
• Rituals, herbs, and practices to support both partners on the conception path

Whether you’re actively trying to conceive, thinking about future fertility, or supporting someone who is, this episode will change the way you think about reproductive health.
