Male factors contribute to approximately 50% of fertility challenges, yet the focus usually falls on the woman. Because sperm take 70 to 90 days to develop, the changes a man makes today can improve sperm quality over the next three to six months. Here’s where to start with diet, lifestyle and our research-backed supplement protocol.
Male fertility plays a role in up to half of all infertility cases, yet it is often overlooked. In this episode, Dr. Lorne Brown and reproductive urologist Dr. Mark Ratner explore sperm health, semen analysis, DNA fragmentation, lifestyle factors, supplements, and evidence-based strategies to improve male fertility and support successful conception and IVF outcomes.
In Episode 165, Dr. Lorne Brown and board-certified urologist Dr. Mark Ratner explain why the name changed, how insulin resistance drives hormone imbalance and fertility challenges, and what evidence-based lifestyle, nutrition, and supplement strategies can help improve both reproductive and long-term metabolic health. They also explore emerging research on the vaginal microbiome and why individualized, holistic care is essential for women living with PMOS.
PCOS has officially been renamed PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), reflecting what researchers have long recognized—this condition affects far more than the ovaries.
