Danie sits down with Beatrice Rabkin — fertility awareness educator, functional breathing instructor and nutritional therapist specialising in preconception protocols — for a no-nonsense masterclass on reproductive health, hormone balance and why most couples struggle to conceive.

They break down endocrine disruptors (plastics, glyphosate), the microbiome-mitochondria connection, male sperm count decline, and her proven 3+3 month preconception protocol that optimises egg & sperm health naturally.

If you’re trying to conceive, dealing with hormone issues, or just want to feel better in your body, this episode is packed with practical, actionable steps.
