Memorable Quotes

“When I look at fertility, I'm never just looking at one aspect of it. Good quality sperm is a reflection of your health as a male. If you're not making very good sperm, I can almost guarantee you that you as a male have some underlying health issues that need to be addressed for overall well-being."

"Your fertility journey should be your healing journey. That goes true for both the male and the female, and you should be getting better. You should be feeling better every time because the better you feel, the better you'll be able to support each other and prepare for the demands of having a child."

"Protein is critical for testosterone levels. I recommend a minimum of 30 grams per meal, but ideally 50 to 75 grams. If you're only eating three meals a day, you need to aim for 1 gram of protein per lean pound of body weight to ensure your body has the resources to produce hormones effectively."
