How Stress and Other Factors Negatively Impact Sperm Quality Get Pregnant Naturally

Dr. Deb Matthew joins us today as we're digging into how to address missed healing opportunities for male factor infertility.
Most of the time it's women that find me – either by listening to my Get Pregnant Naturally podcast (we recently celebrated over 400,000 downloads), my blog, YouTube channel, or social media.
As you know our proven Fab Fertile Method includes your partner so you can improve your chances of pregnancy success.
We’ve reviewed countless tests for men and there are ALWAYS areas to improve even if the semen analysis is fine or especially when it is not.
But it may be confusing to know where to start. As you know we are all about action – but it has to be the right type of action that fast tracks getting pregnant naturally – otherwise it just wastes time and money.
Excited to welcome Dr. Deb Matthew MD, The Happy Hormones Doctor, is a best-selling author, international speaker, educator, wife, and mom of four boys.

1) How does cortisol impact sperm counts. 2) Thyroid health and the connection to sperm quality. 3) What causes low testosterone and how can we improve it 4) The link between cholesterol and sperm health. Why addressing gut infection and optimizing the microbiome matter for male fertility 5) Causes of erectile dysfunction and low libido A Busy Woman's Guide to Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance www.isityourhormones.com -----------------
