On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Gabriella Rosa @dr.gabrielarosa, a globally recognised fertility specialist and researcher, to unpack the truth about fertility after 40. We explore why age alone is not the real issue, what actually impacts egg and sperm quality, and how metabolic health, lifestyle factors, and emotional wellbeing play a much bigger role in conception than most people are told.

This episode offers clarity, hope, and evidence-based guidance for anyone navigating fertility in their late 30s and 40s.
