Shownotes

This week, we’re sharing a very special collaboration episode. Ciaran recently had the privilege of sitting down with Ollie Brown from the Marathons for Miracles podcast to share his own deeply personal story of loss, grief, and resilience. For the first time in such detail, Ciaran opens up about the three miscarriages he and his wife experienced on their path to parenthood.

This is the full, raw conversation from the Marathons for Miracles podcast. Ciaran delves into the intense loneliness and self-blame he felt, the gut-wrenching moment they discovered a “vanishing twin,” and how he ultimately processed the grief that led him to the brink. It’s a story about how our hardest moments can forge a new path, leading Ciaran to become The Male Fertility PT and inspiring him to run a marathon for the baby loss charity, Tommy’s.

💬 What to Expect:

• Ciaran’s full story of navigating three miscarriages, including a “vanishing twin.”

• The intense guilt men can feel when miscarriage is linked to male-factor infertility.

• The psychological impact of loss and a journey to the brink and back.

• The power of taking control of your lifestyle to improve both mental and physical health.

• How to support a partner when you feel powerless to “fix” the situation.

• The story behind the Marathons for Miracles challenge and the incredible work of Tommy’s.

• Why it’s so important for men to have a space to share and process their grief.

This season is all about reminding you that when it comes to fertility, you are not alone.

At The Male Fertility Podcast, we know how powerful the right support can be, which is why we've partnered with Fertility Family to share Impryl.

We all know nutrition matters for fertility, but let's be honest, maintaining a perfectly balanced diet for conception is incredibly hard. Choosing a supplement can be just as confusing, especially when many multivitamins contain strong antioxidants that can actually harm sperm quality.

Impryl is different. It's made using activated micronutrients that support every cell in the body, from the largest, the egg, to the smallest, the sperm. These nutrients have been clinically shown to significantly improve live birth rates in men and women who had previously been struggling to conceive.

What we really like is that behind the science are real stories from real people.
