Trying to conceive after a vasectomy reversal—and wondering why it’s taking so long? You’re tracking ovulation, eating clean, taking supplements… and still staring down another negative test. It’s frustrating, emotional, and honestly—you wanted a baby like yesterday. Welcome to Conceiving After Vasectomy Reversal, the faith-based fertility podcast for couples who are doing everything right and still waiting for their miracle. I’m Susan Gladstein, a holistic fertility practitioner, functional nutrition specialist, and mom of seven—including two miracle babies born in my 40s after my husband’s vasectomy reversal. Each week, you’ll get faith-based encouragement, natural fertility tips, and honest conversations about hormone health, sperm quality, cycle tracking, and what doctors don’t always explain. Whether you’re months into trying or years post-reversal, this podcast will help you cut through the noise, support your body, and walk in faith—one hopeful step at a time.

Struggling with what to eat while trying to conceive?
In this episode, I’m joined by chef and registered dietitian Allison Schaaf to talk about the best foods for egg quality and sperm health—plus the worst ones that could be hurting your fertility without you realizing it.
We dive into practical, real-food strategies to support hormone balance, ovulation, and overall reproductive health—without the stress or perfectionism. Whether you're navigating PCOS, low sperm motility, or just trying to improve your fertility naturally, this episode will help you feel more confident about what’s on your plate.
You’ll learn how to simplify meal prep, avoid common food mistakes when TTC, and nourish your body in a way that supports conception (without obsessing over kale or spending hours in the kitchen).
Perfect for couples TTC after vasectomy reversal, dealing with hormone imbalance, or wanting to boost egg and sperm quality naturally.
XO,
Susan
