All right, Gabriela, welcome to The Man Talk Show. How are you doing today?

Very well. Thank you so much for having me.

So fertility, what is happening with our ability to reproduce? What's going on?

There's a lot of conversations around it. It's like in the news, I think a lot of men, I mean, on my show in the past, I've talked

about how, I mean, I haven't personally talked about it. Guests that I've had on the show have

talked about how, you know, sperm counts are down, testosterone's down. And it seems like

more people I talk to, the more that people

talk about having challenges with, you know, conceiving. And I had, I had a gentleman on the show

that talked about how, you know, your, like your sperm count was a good indicator of health as a man,

which I thought was very interesting. So it seems like there's a lot of things playing in,

but maybe give us the broad picture. What's happening with fertility? Yeah, I think it's such an

important part of health, really. It's a proxy

marker and a health indicator, you know, in terms of what our quality of life is going to be in

the future is very much determined by what's happening, reproductively speaking. And I love

having a male captive audience to have this conversation,

I will say. And the reason is that, you know, fertility very much, when it becomes medicalized,

and often it is the case that it becomes medicalized when it hasn't been easy,

it becomes very female-centered conversation, you know, in terms of it's a woman's

issue for the most part in most people's minds. And yet, it really isn't. You know, fertility is a team

sport. It requires, you know, so many things to go right for us to be able to deliver a

healthy baby at the end of this. And I say us because, you know, fertility really is 40% to do

with female factor, 40% to do with male factor, and 20% to do with embryonic and other factors.
