Robert Kiltz: The Fertility Crisis EXPLAINED. Why Today’s Diet Is Making Us Infertile | DSH #1655

04 Dec 2025

Transcription

Chapter 1: What are the main causes of the fertility crisis?

0.031 - 17.987 Robert Kiltz

If you didn't take your caffeine or your energy drinks, would you be as energetic as you are to be able to go to work and perform as well as you're doing? Maybe not. And so I've been off coffee for two years, no energy drinks, and I've never felt better. We're addicted to the plants because plants actually control you.

Chapter 2: How do environmental toxins affect reproductive health?

18.848 - 36.501 Robert Kiltz

You do all the work for them. You change their DNA, you store their seeds, you make them resistant to the bugs, and you store them in places where when the Holocaust or the global event happens that you and I aren't here unless the one that blows up the Earth, they will continue to thrive and survive. Yeah.

Chapter 3: What are the differences between vegan, vegetarian, and carnivore diets for fertility?

42.59 - 45.734 Sean Kelly

All right, guys, Dr. Robert Kiltz here, fertility specialist.

Chapter 4: How can fasting and one meal a day improve fertility?

45.754 - 51.341 Sean Kelly

Thanks for joining us today. John, it's a pleasure. Thanks for the invitation. It's a pressing issue right now, so I think it's important to get this message across.

Chapter 5: What role do seed oils and microplastics play in infertility?

51.782 - 53.444 Sean Kelly

The numbers are looking scary these days, right?

0

53.925 - 61.895 Robert Kiltz

More and more people are suffering from infertility, miscarriage, they're postponing their childbearing, but I think there's a lot more going on that's causing the problem.

Chapter 6: How does Dr. Kiltz suggest addressing hormonal disorders like PCOS?

62.856 - 68.243 Sean Kelly

I feel like this might be the highest percentage-wise in history of infertility issues going on right now.

0

68.223 - 94.048 Robert Kiltz

Yeah, it's kind of a crazy thing. We see the population of the world growing, but in many pockets of the world, we're seeing a decline in the birth rate. Women are waiting longer. Plus, I think there's a lot of immunologic and inflammatory disorders that are taking place. Men are suffering from low libido, low sperm counts, motility, morphology. testosterone levels are dropping.

94.148 - 110.072 Robert Kiltz

And then on the women's side is polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, which are all inflammatory conditions, which affect the hormonal environment and which cause people to not be able to get pregnant or increases miscarriages, all sorts of problems related to those.

0

110.332 - 113.657 Sean Kelly

Wow. So a lot of different issues at the same time. Absolutely. That's concerning.

Chapter 7: What advancements are being made in IVF and embryo science with technology?

113.677 - 118.665 Sean Kelly

Yeah. I've seen Elon talk about the depopulation stuff and is the US in that category at the moment?

0

118.645 - 144.954 Robert Kiltz

Yeah, the U.S. is definitely in that category. We obviously have a lot of immigration, but when it comes to most young people, they're not reproducing. The majority of people I see are in their 30s and 40s, and most of them have had no children, and they've been trying for several years. And the main cause is we don't know. It's called unspecified or idiopathic infertility.

0

145.295 - 150.871 Robert Kiltz

And I always say that means we're idiots. We're not digging deep, listening and learning what might be the factors causing that.

151.693 - 154.12 Sean Kelly

Is it true a woman can only get pregnant certain days out of the month?

0

154.589 - 183.373 Robert Kiltz

Well, in general, yes. A woman's menstrual cycle between beginning the menstrual period and ovulation and then their next period is 28 days. Ovulation generally happens about day 14. And so their peak fertile period is between day 12 and 14, essentially. Wow. but depends how long the sperm may last in the uterine tubal environment, which may be longer than that.

184.115 - 196.675 Robert Kiltz

But, you know, it's a big, important timeframe, but people are traveling or they're at work all the time. But there's a lot of problems with women not ovulating regularly.

Chapter 8: How can dietary changes reduce the need for expensive medical interventions?

197.056 - 216.654 Robert Kiltz

They might not even know where they're at in their cycle. A lot of Anovulation, we call it. They're not ovulating regularly. Or they have polycystic ovarian syndrome, which affects many women, which I think is related to some metabolic disorder, which means they might not have a period for a year, two, or three in many cases.

216.754 - 221.704 Sean Kelly

Holy crap. I've never heard that long because I've heard of some missing like a month, but a year is—

0

221.684 - 247.342 Robert Kiltz

Typically, women with polycystic ovarian syndrome may have a menstrual period 30 to 40 days apart. That's pretty common. Some women might have it three times a year, but there are some cases where they don't get them at all. except unless they take a hormone pill to stimulate that. But that's becoming more and more common, and I think it's related to our dietary environment.

0

247.362 - 257.361 Robert Kiltz

We're eating too many carbohydrates, a low fat diet, believe it or not, and we're eating three to six meals a day, which is not natural to our species.

0

257.441 - 261.428 Sean Kelly

It's a lot, right? And then there's the growing concern with plastics. Do you think that's affecting fertility?

261.408 - 288.833 Robert Kiltz

Well, I think the environmental plastics and the pesticides and the heavy metals and the damage from smog in the air, from industrial pollution, cars and things like that, those are all factors. But then let's add in our home environment, the off-gassing of the products that we use in our homes or the makeups or other beauty products that we all use. Those are factors that

288.813 - 308.07 Robert Kiltz

get in through what we breathe, drink, and eat, but also through the skin. And those can have adverse effects on sperm quality, quantity, egg quality, and other hormone environments. But it can also cause birth defects. So in utero,

308.05 - 326.751 Robert Kiltz

and or before a fertilization of an egg, where the egg or the sperm in the ovary or the testicle is affected by those pollutants, which damage the egg or the sperm, which may then cause a defect, which may show up in future generations.

326.951 - 329.794 Sean Kelly

Wow, so the air pollution is super toxic.
