In this episode, Dr. Steve and Theresa talk with Dr. Robert Kiltz, a reproductive endocrinologist, OB-GYN, and founder of CNY Fertility. Dr. Kiltz shares his personal health story, his work with people facing infertility, and why he believes food choices, stress, mindset, and faith all play a role in health.
Dr. Kiltz explains how his own struggles with migraines, digestive issues, arthritis, psoriasis, kidney stones, and depression led him to explore Paleo, keto, and eventually a mostly carnivore way of eating. He discusses his personal "BABE" approach: bacon, eggs, butter, beef, and salt, along with simple meals and periods of fasting.
The conversation explores infertility, the growing number of couples who struggle to conceive, and the importance of asking deeper questions about lifestyle and everyday health habits. Dr. Kiltz shares how he talks with patients about nutrition while also offering conventional fertility care, including testing, medication, surgery, IUI, IVF, and donor options when appropriate.
You will also hear a candid discussion about food freedom, cravings, eating for celebrations without making celebrations an everyday habit, and why lasting health changes require more than a short-term diet. Dr. Kiltz closes with a message to stay curious, ask questions, practice self-love, and approach others with kindness and grace.
