The Preconception Revolution isn’t about getting pregnant—it’s about creating the healthiest possible future for the next generation, long before conception ever happens.
Let’s go into why fertility challenges are often a signal of deeper health issues, not just age or bad luck. You’ll learn how environmental toxins, gut health, nutrition, and lifestyle choices in both women and men directly impact fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and a child’s lifelong health.
This conversation is especially for midlife women who care deeply about their kids, grandkids, and the legacy of health they leave behind.
If you’ve ever wondered what you wish you’d known sooner—or what your adult children need to know now—this episode delivers the why behind The Preconception Revolution.
My Guest:
Dr. Ann Shippy, MD is a board-certified internal medicine physician and certified functional medicine practitioner who is a leading voice in the preconception movement—focused on optimizing health before pregnancy to influence lifelong and generational wellness. A former chemical engineer at IBM, she brings a systems-based, science-driven approach to uncovering root causes of infertility and chronic disease. She is the author of The Preconception Revolution, a science-backed guide helping men and women prepare their bodies for healthy pregnancies. Through her Austin-based practice and online programs, Dr. Shippy has helped couples conceive healthy babies well into their 40s using advanced testing and precision strategies. Her work has been featured in major media outlets and on national stages including TEDx and leading wellness conferences.
