This clip is from episode 351 ‒ Male fertility: optimizing reproductive health, diagnosing and treating infertility, and navigating testosterone replacement therapy | Paul Turek, M.D.

In this clip, they discuss:

Microplastics Are Showing Up in the Fertility Conversation – They’ve been found in human tissue, but their effects on reproduction are not yet understood
Be Cautious, Not Reactionary – The presence of microplastics in the body is something to be aware of, but there’s currently no proven link to infertility
Stress Is a Major Factor in Male Fertility – It disrupts the hormonal communication between the brain and testes, potentially lowering testosterone and sperm production
Chronic Stress Is More Damaging Than Acute Stress – Long-term stress leads to persistent hormone suppression, especially in men with underlying vulnerability
Some Men Handle Stress Better Than Others – The impact of stress varies by individual, depending on factors like genetics and baseline fertility health
