How To Reverse The American Fertility Crisis

Updated: Dec 17, 2025




Dr. Phil sits down with Dr. Ann Shippy to reveal how the months and years before pregnancy shape a child’s lifelong health and why today’s fertility crisis has less to do with age and far more to do with toxins, inflammation, stress, and our modern environment.


The Preconception Revolution reveals how your health today shapes your baby’s tomorrow. Blending the latest in functional medicine and epigenetics, this book shares science-backed strategies that don’t just improve conception, they influence your child’s lifelong health.”


For decades, women have been told their fertility is on a countdown clock but what if age isn’t the real problem?


Dr. Phil welcomes Dr. Ann Shippy, a leading expert in the emerging preconception movement, to uncover the science showing how the 3–36 months before pregnancy can influence a child’s lifelong health.


Dr. Shippy explains how toxins, chronic inflammation, endocrine disruptors, stress, and the microbiome silently shape fertility for both men and women. She shares how couples even well into their 40s, can dramatically improve egg and sperm health, reduce miscarriage risk, and give their future children a stronger foundation of genetic resilience. From environmental chemicals and gut health to hormone balance and the male fertility crisis, Dr. Phil digs into the psychology and misinformation surrounding modern parenthood. This is not about fear, it's about power. Small changes today may change the trajectory of a child’s life before they’re even conceived.

This post is very thought-provoking because pre-pregnancy health truly has a long-term impact on children. Modern life, with its pressures, unhealthy environment, and unhealthy food, is significantly affecting fertility. After reading it, I realized I need to pay more attention to my health, and relaxing with the Sprunky game is also a great way to reduce stress.
