196: Dr Robert Kiltz Talks Infertility and Weight Loss
Episode 196
Sunday, 16 August, 2026
Join us LIVE on Zoom Pantry Purge Party 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. Dr. Kiltz's own health journey moved from Paleo to keto to a mostly carnivore lifestyle, which he says helped him feel better and simplify his eating. He encourages people dealing with infertility to look at the full picture: food, stress, sleep, medications, health history, and available medical fertility treatments. The goal is not a quick weight-loss fix, but building a long-term way of eating that supports health and gives people more freedom around food. He believes small exceptions for special celebrations can fit into life, but turning treats into an everyday habit can make it harder to reach health goals. His final encouragement: be curious, ask better questions, look in the mirror and say "I love you," and treat yourself and others with kindness Note: This episode includes personal opinions and clinical perspectives on nutrition and fertility. Listeners should speak with a qualified healthcare professional before making major changes to diet, fasting, or medications.
