Episode description

In this episode, I was joined by Dr. Robert Kiltz, a fertility expert and proponent of animal based diets. We explored the role of sugars and glycans in health and disease–Dr. Kiltz detailed how these compounds impact metabolic diseases, from cancer to infertility, and we discussed why understanding their effects is crucial for addressing modern health challenges.

We also delved into plant-based diets and their potential effects on reproductive health. Throughout our conversation, Dr. Kiltz emphasized the importance of questioning traditional health narratives, such as the food pyramid, which he believes could be undermining fertility and overall wellness. He detailed how getting away from a plant-based diet can reduce inflammation, improve reproductive outcomes, and address chronic conditions like diabetes and autoimmune disorders. Enjoy!

Dr. Kiltz is the Founder and Director of CNY Fertility, one of the largest and most innovative fertility practices in the country. Dr. Kiltz is a Diplomat of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Fellowship trained and Board Certified in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. He spent more than two decades helping families grow by developing cutting-edge approaches to fertility grounded in Western medicine and supported by practices of holistic medicine.
