Male fertility is declining — and it’s time we start talking about it!

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, we dive deep into the often-overlooked side of fertility: Men’s Reproductive Health. From falling testosterone levels in younger men to environmental toxins, stress, poor sleep, and overlooked medical factors, we unpack the hidden reasons why male fertility is struggling — and, most importantly, what you can do about it.

Joining me in this episode is Dr. Deb Matthew!

After suffering for years with fatigue and irritability due to hormone imbalances, her quest to resolve her personal health led her to change everything about her practice of medicine. She has been featured on national podcasts, radio, and broadcast shows, including NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and FOX

• Why “normal” testosterone levels aren’t always optimal for fertility
• The dangerous effects of chronic stress and high cortisol on sperm health
