    Digital Fertility Revolution: AI, Community & Fertility Support | Conceive’s Lauren Berson (Ep. 13)

    Fertility care is not just clinical, it is deeply personal. In Episode 13 of Talk With Turek, Dr. Paul Turek and co-host Rob Clyde sit down with Lauren Berson, Founder and CEO of Conceive, to explore how fertility support is evolving and why the current ecosystem often fails both women and men. Lauren has built a digital community designed to meet patients exactly where they are, providing personalized answers, emotional support, and clear next steps in minutes.

Historically, apps and devices track only the female partner, leaving men overlooked even though male factor contributes to 50 percent of infertility challenges. In this conversation, Lauren shares why fertility journeys require both clinical guidance and emotional care and how technology and AI can help patients feel more informed, supported, and empowered. She also dives into the importance of including men early in the process, redesigning care so it works for both partners, and creating tools that help people navigate one of the most stressful experiences of their lives. You’ll hear: Why fertility care must evolve to support both men and womenHow AI and personalized medicine can improve patient outcomesWhy male fertility is often ignored and how to change thatThe importance of emotional care alongside clinical careHow Conceive delivers guidance in minutes through a digital communityWhy having the right answers at the right time can transform the entire journey Every fertility journey is unique.

    Episode 12 - From Brain to Bedroom | How Stress Hijacks Libido & Your Body with Daniel Levitin, PhD

    Stress is not just in your head. It is in your erections, your libido, your sleep, your longevity, and even your fertility. In this episode of Talk with Turek, Dr. Paul Turek and co host Rob Clyde sit down with award winning neuroscientist and bestselling author Daniel Levitin, PhD (This Is Your Brain on Music, The Organized Mind, Successful Aging) to unpack how chronic stress reshapes the male brain and the male body. Dr. Levitin explains what really happens in your brain when you are stressed, why that can shut down libido, erections and rational thinking, and how our modern “always on” lives with email, the internet, social media and AI keep men stuck in a constant fight or flight state. YOU WILL LEARN: • How the brain’s stress cascade turns off immunity, digestion and libido •. Why long term stress wrecks sleep, erections and fertility, even if you do not feel stressed • How much brain real estate is devoted to the penis, clitoris, lips and anus •. Why men often miss their own stress signals, and how morning erections and “vacation erections” can act as biomarkers for health •. Practical ways to lower stress: yoga, exercise, meditation, music, acupuncture, sex and building real relationships with doctors •. How AI and tools like ChatGPT can both help and harm attention, focus and mental health •. Why literature, art and learning an instrument are “neuroprotective” for the aging brain •. The role of conscientiousness, self care and lifestyle in living longer and feeling better Whether you are trying to conceive, dealing with erectile issues, low libido or simply feeling overloaded by work, family and tech, this conversation gives you science backed tools to understand your stress and start doing something about it.

    Episode 10 - Isotretinoin, Infertility, and Breakthrough Science

    In this episode of Talk With Turek, Dr. Paul Turek and co-host Rob Clyde welcome special guest Dr. John K. Amory, MD, MPH, Professor at the University of Washington, to discuss a breakthrough that is proving to be a true game changer in the field of reproductive health. What you’ll learn in this episode: • How isotretinoin (best known as Accutane®) has been shown to stimulate sperm production in severely infertile men. • Why retinoic acid is critical for spermatogenesis and healthy sperm production • Results from a brand-new peer-reviewed study: in a group of 30 men with azoospermia or cryptozoospermia, 37% produced motile ejaculated sperm after 3–6 months of isotretinoin therapy Real-world outcomes: embryos created, pregnancies achieved, and babies born • Why this treatment, although off-label, offers real hope to men once told “there’s no chance.” This medication must be artfully monitored and requires specialized oversight and management by an experienced reproductive urology practice. • How collaboration between specialists is breaking down stigma and driving innovation in male fertility At The Turek Clinic, our mission is to put patients first. That means understanding every unique situation, exploring every option, and guiding patients toward the best path forward — whether that involves surgery, advanced diagnostics, or groundbreaking new therapies.

    Episode 9 - Sperm Secrets Unlocked - A Deep Dive with Kristin Brogaard

    Infertility too often defaults to a “woman’s issue,” yet up to 50% of cases stem from male factors. A basic semen analysis should be the very first step for any couple trying to conceive, but going beyond with advanced sperm-quality technology like Sperm QT and epigenetic analysis transforms outcomes. These deeper dives—performed under the care of a reproductive urologist—expedite diagnosis, support more affordable treatment paths, and spare couples from unnecessary procedures or invasive female testing and lead to increased success rates and potentially healthier children, at a reduced cost. Why This Episode Matters In Episode 9 of Talk With Turek, Dr. Paul Turek and co-host Rob Clyde welcome Kristin Brogaard, CSO of Path Fertility, for an unfiltered exploration of: Why Epigenetics Matter in Sperm Analysis Epigenetic “tags” on sperm DNA don’t alter your genetic code—but they determine which genes are switched on or off. Understanding these marks is crucial because: • Guiding Embryo Development: Proper epigenetic programming in sperm steers early embryonic gene expression—errors here can contribute to implantation failures or developmental issues. • Predicting Fertility Outcomes: Abnormal sperm epigenetic patterns are linked to lower fertilization rates and higher miscarriage risks, making them invaluable biomarkers beyond simple counts or motility measures. • Safeguarding Future Generations: Environmental exposures, age, and lifestyle can reshape sperm epigenetics—and those changes may influence children’s long-term health. Path Forward: Actions to Optimize Sperm Epigenetics Armed with epigenetic insights, couples and clinicians can take targeted steps to enhance reproductive success: • Routine Epigenetic Screening: Incorporate DNA methylation profiling along with standard semen analyses to uncover hidden obstacles to conception. • Collaborative Care: Partner with a reproductive urologist to interpret advanced assay results, integrate them into your fertility plan, and monitor improvements over time. • Preventive Counseling: Educate on the impact of diet, toxins, stress, and exercise—empowering lifestyle changes that benefit both sperm health and future children’s well-being. • Personalized Interventions: Tailor nutrition, supplement, or medical therapies based on each patient’s specific epigenetic profile.

    Episode 7 - From Heartbreak to Hormones – A Deep Dive into Testosterone

    In Episode 7 of Talk with Turek, Dr. Paul Turek opens the conversation not with science, but with soul. He shares the stories of two patients whose heartbreaking journeys—unrelated to testosterone—underscore the fragility, resilience, and raw humanity at the heart of family-building. These deeply emotional narratives reveal the unseen weight men carry in the face of loss, infertility, and uncertainty. It’s a poignant reminder: behind every chart and test result is a person seeking hope. From this place of vulnerability and empathy, Dr. Turek and co-host Rob Clyde transition into a powerful and myth-busting exploration of testosterone—often misunderstood, often misused, and increasingly commercialized as a cure-all for aging and low energy. They take on “Vitamin T” with clarity, nuance, and compassion. A central theme? Stress. Dr. Turek unpacks how chronic stress—a silent epidemic among men—can wreak havoc on testosterone levels, sexual health, and overall wellbeing. The episode explores how stress-related hormonal dysregulation in younger men is on the rise, and how this is often misdiagnosed or mismanaged with quick-fix testosterone therapy, which can do more harm than good. Also in this episode: The truth behind testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and why it can lead to 95% infertility rates in men using it.How normal testosterone levels are essential for sperm production—and how low levels aren't always the root of the problem.Why sex drive is not solely hormonal—it's also deeply tied to mental state, lifestyle, and emotional connection.A breakdown of anabolic steroids vs. natural testosterone and what the data says about longevity.How sleep, exercise, and stress management are some of the most powerful tools for hormonal balance—no prescription needed.The artistry and misconception of bodybuilding: what the outside world sees vs. what’s happening internally.Advances in sperm retrieval techniques, including how sperm mapping can protect long-term testosterone production, unlike blind microdissection techniques that risk harming testicular function. From bedroom performance to boardroom burnout, this conversation is about more than hormones—it’s about reclaiming agency over one’s health, identity, and future. If this episode moved you or taught you something new, please like, comment, and subscribe. Share it with someone navigating testosterone therapy, infertility, or just trying to make sense of their body in a noisy world. Let’s continue to normalize these conversations—with honesty, empathy, and science.

    Episode 6 - Unpacking the Role of Age in Men's Fertility & Sexual Health

    Join Hosts Dr. Paul Turek and Rob Clyde in this candid episode of Talk with Turek Podcast, where they delve into the impact of aging on male fertility, sexual health, and overall wellness. This conversation explores critical but often overlooked topics such as erectile dysfunction, the influence of paternal age on offspring, the connection between sex drive and morning wood, and the role of masturbation in male health. In this episode they explore the often-overlooked effects of aging on men’s fertility and sexual health. While changes such as erectile dysfunction, reduced libido, and morning wood may be viewed as natural consequences of getting older, these changes can also serve as important markers for other underlying health conditions. As men age, many face challenges related to fertility, sexual function, and libido, yet these topics are rarely discussed openly. Dr. Turek and Rob shine a light on the profound ways in which aging affects male fertility and sexual health, from the decline in sperm quality to the complexities of erectile dysfunction. They also examine how paternal age influences the health of offspring, emphasizing the importance of understanding these impacts in today’s world. The episode goes beyond just the physiological aspects, tackling the emotional and psychological dimensions of aging as they relate to male sexual health. The hosts discuss how societal pressures, body image, and stress contribute to the challenges men face with erectile dysfunction and diminished sex drive. They also explore the science behind morning wood, erections, and how hormonal changes over time influence these responses. Masturbation, often a misunderstood aspect of male sexuality, is also addressed, as it plays a critical role in understanding sexual health and the effects of aging. Dr. Turek and Rob offer expert insights into how maintaining a healthy sexual lifestyle can help combat some of the challenges aging men may face, and why seeking medical advice is crucial for tackling these issues head-on. Our mission is to normalize the conversation around male sexual health, break down stigmas, and encourage men to take charge of their health. By continuing to discuss topics like male fertility, erectile dysfunction, and sexual wellness openly, we hope to empower men to seek the help they need.
