In this episode of Fertile Talks, Dr. Yemi Famuyiwa is joined by Dr. Amin Herati, Director of Male Fertility and Men’s Health at Johns Hopkins University, for a powerful conversation on the most important—and misunderstood—topics in male reproductive health. Dr. Herati shares his unique research into genetic mutations affecting sperm function, the role of environmental and lifestyle exposures, and how factors like vaping, marijuana, diet, heat, and supplements can silently impact fertility.


Together, they explore why vitamins aren’t always harmless, how oxidative and reductive stress influence sperm quality, and why pelvic floor dysfunction and varicoceles are increasingly recognized contributors to male infertility. Dr. Herati also explains why he believes young men should consider early semen analysis and even sperm freezing as part of long-term reproductive planning.


Packed with clear explanations and actionable insights, this episode sheds light on the science behind male fertility and offers a modern roadmap for men who want to protect their future family-building options.
