What No One Told You About Fertility & Gestational Diabetes w/ Dr. Kiltz
Is everything we’ve been told about fat… wrong?
In this episode, I sit down with Reproductive Endocrinologist & Fertility Specialist, Dr. Robert Kiltz, to talk about infertility, gestational diabetes, insulin resistance, and the controversial idea that eating more fat — not less — may be the key to healing.
We dive into rising infertility rates, pregnancy nutrition myths, blood sugar balance, high-fat diets, and whether the carnivore diet could really impact fertility and gestational diabetes outcomes.
This conversation challenges conventional pregnancy nutrition advice…which is likely exactly what you’re being given right now. Whether you’re trying to conceive, currently pregnant, worried about or dealing with gestational diabetes, or simply wanting to optimize you and your baby’s health — you’ll walk away thinking differently about food, fat, and metabolic health.
Here’s What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
2:03 – From gang life to fertility expert
Dr. Kiltz shares his unexpected journey — and why he believes much of what we’re taught about nutrition and disease may be missing something big.
8:08 – Why infertility keeps rising
Is infertility just another inflammatory condition? We explore global trends and the possible connection between modern diets, insulin resistance, and reproductive health.
16:00 – How fast can your body respond?
If you changed your diet today, how quickly could hormones and blood sugar begin to shift? Dr. Kiltz shares what he sees in practice.
22:44 – The insulin conversation pregnant moms need
Blood sugar, cravings, gestational diabetes — it all traces back to one powerful hormone, but it’s not what you think.
31:08 – Protein vs. fat: are we emphasizing the wrong one?
We’ve heard “eat more protein” for years. But what happens when fat takes center stage instead?
43:15 – Can you really eat too much fat?
Is fat the problem… or the most satiating part of eating animal meat? This part may challenge what you’ve always believed.
49:06 – Gestational diabetes & simple solutions
Are we overcomplicating blood sugar in pregnancy? A bold take on metabolic health and maternal outcomes.
57:00 – What reproductive health really says about overall health
A deep-dive about fertility, modern culture, and how we define “healthy.”
59:23 – Mindset that supports healing
Because nutrition isn’t the whole story. We talk gratitude, faith, mindfulness, and why what’s happening in our minds matters too.
With so much information floating around out there, pregnancy nutrition doesn’t have to feel confusing. Blood sugar balance, fertility, hormones, and inflammation are all connected.
Whether you agree or disagree with everything shared, this episode will help you ask better questions about what you’re eating now and what would be the very best things to eat for the healthiest fertility, pregnancy, and YOU…gestational diabetes prevention, fertility nutrition, insulin resistance in pregnancy (and life), and what it truly means to nourish your body while growing a baby.
