of fertility through rounds and rounds of fertility through rounds and rounds of fertility treatment before anyone even says hey treatment before anyone even says hey treatment before anyone even says hey maybe we should check your partner maybe we should check your partner maybe we should check your partner spouse husband and I just think that spouse husband and I just think that spouse husband and I just think that that's [  ] crazy because when you that's [  ] crazy because when you that's [  ] crazy because when you get into the science there's actually get into the science there's actually get into the science there's actually more issues with paternal age and its more issues with paternal age and its more issues with paternal age and its influence on the health of the EMP influence on the health of the EMP influence on the health of the EMP embryo the pregnancy and the baby so aka embryo the pregnancy and the baby so aka embryo the pregnancy and the baby so aka the older the male the more room for the older the male the more room for the older the male the more room for complications in the outcome of the baby complications in the outcome of the baby complications in the outcome of the baby and so you know and and I [  ] find and so you know and and I [  ] find and so you know and and I [  ] find it hilarious when they call women that it hilarious when they call women that it hilarious when they call women that are pregnant I think it's what is it are pregnant I think it's what is it are pregnant I think it's what is it over the age of 33 they call it a over the age of 33 they call it a over the age of 33 they call it a geriatric pregnancy like I'm sorry go geriatric pregnancy like I'm sorry go geriatric pregnancy like I'm sorry go [  ] yourself like I'm just going to say [  ] yourself like I'm just going to say [  ] yourself like I'm just going to say that like 40 right now or I'm almost 40 that like 40 right now or I'm almost 40 that like 40 right now or I'm almost 40 39 and I'm pregnant I am healthier now 39 and I'm pregnant I am healthier now 39 and I'm pregnant I am healthier now than I was ever in my 20s let alone the

their brain that almost implanting in their brain that they're going to need some type of help they're going to need some type of help they're going to need some type of help from conventional medicine like that is from conventional medicine like that is from conventional medicine like that is such utter [  ] and that's if such utter [  ] and that's if such utter [  ] and that's if anything that's defying science that's anything that's defying science that's anything that's defying science that's defying and any basic understanding of defying and any basic understanding of defying and any basic understanding of the [  ] human body don't even get me the [  ] human body don't even get me the [  ] human body don't even get me started you can clearly tell I'm heated started you can clearly tell I'm heated started you can clearly tell I'm heated right now but the point is is that right now but the point is is that right now but the point is is that fertility or no fertility men are fertility or no fertility men are fertility or no fertility men are walking around with silent issues and walking around with silent issues and walking around with silent issues and what I find so interesting is that a lot what I find so interesting is that a lot what I find so interesting is that a lot of men and it's happening younger and of men and it's happening younger and of men and it's happening younger and younger you know let's call it 5 years younger you know let's call it 5 years younger you know let's call it 5 years ago 10 years ago men were getting ago 10 years ago men were getting ago 10 years ago men were getting diagnosed with prostate issues you know diagnosed with prostate issues you know diagnosed with prostate issues you know above the age of 50 above the age of 55 above the age of 50 above the age of 55 above the age of 50 above the age of 55 and most men that you talk to above that and most men that you talk to above that and most men that you talk to above that age are on some type of prostate watch age are on some type of prostate watch age are on some type of prostate watch or prostate medication it it's they're or prostate medication it it's they're or prostate medication it it's they're also on blood pressure medication and also on blood pressure medication and also on blood pressure medication and they're on cholesterol medication that they're on cholesterol medication that they're on cholesterol medication that is the trifecta I've done a whole is the trifecta I've done a whole is the trifecta I've done a whole separate podcast about that so do we separate podcast about that so do we separate podcast about that so do we really think that men just hit 50 and really think that men just hit 50 and really think that men just hit 50 and the problem started no they were all of the problem started no they were all of the problem started no they were all of those problems existed and they just those problems existed and they just those problems existed and they just finally got bad enough in the labs or finally got bad enough in the labs or finally got bad enough in the labs or they never got Labs until they were you they never got Labs until they were you they never got Labs until they were you know oh I'm getting old now because a know oh I'm getting old now because a know oh I'm getting old now because a lot of men will tend to just ignore lot of men will tend to just ignore lot of men will tend to just ignore things or normalize things that they things or normalize things that they things or normalize things that they have going on or just not even talk have going on or just not even talk have going on or just not even talk about it and then they hit this point about it and then they hit this point about it and then they hit this point you know in their late 40s 50s they're you know in their late 40s 50s they're you know in their late 40s 50s they're like I don't know what it is I don't like I don't know what it is I don't like I don't know what it is I don't know if it's like some little voice that know if it's like some little voice that know if it's like some little voice that comes and they're like oh you're getting comes and they're like oh you're getting comes and they're like oh you're getting [  ] old you should probably get some [  ] old you should probably get some [  ] old you should probably get some testing done and then it's inevitable oh testing done and then it's inevitable oh testing done and then it's inevitable oh you need blood pressure medication you need blood pressure medication you need blood pressure medication cholesterol medication and you need cholesterol medication and you need cholesterol medication and you need flowmax for your prostate and urinary flowmax for your prostate and urinary flowmax for your prostate and urinary flow it is like I see it all the time flow it is like I see it all the time flow it is like I see it all the time and this isn't just clients because I I and this isn't just clients because I I and this isn't just clients because I I always end up in conversations with always end up in conversations with always end up in conversations with people about their health and well-being people about their health and well-being people about their health and well-being and it is it is so so so common so let's and it is it is so so so common so let's and it is it is so so so common so let's backtrack here okay so cholesterol is backtrack here okay so cholesterol is backtrack here okay so cholesterol is rooted in a liver issue if you've rooted in a liver issue if you've rooted in a liver issue if you've listened to any other podcast liver it listened to any other podcast liver it listened to any other podcast liver it does a lot of different things but liver does a lot of different things but liver does a lot of different things but liver is going to be one of the master is going to be one of the master is going to be one of the master controllers of hormones testosterone controllers of hormones testosterone controllers of hormones testosterone included estrogen included so a lot of included estrogen included so a lot of included estrogen included so a lot of people talk about this with women that people talk about this with women that people talk about this with women that women have estrogen overload and this women have estrogen overload and this women have estrogen overload and this could be playing a role in fertility but could be playing a role in fertility but could be playing a role in fertility but guess what men can also have estrogen guess what men can also have estrogen guess what men can also have estrogen overload when they have taxed out livers overload when they have taxed out livers overload when they have taxed out livers if your liver is taxed out if if you if your liver is taxed out if if you if your liver is taxed out if if you know it or you don't you're going to know it or you don't you're going to know it or you don't you're going to have excess estrogen and so what happens have excess estrogen and so what happens have excess estrogen and so what happens with men is their testosterone goes down with men is their testosterone goes down with men is their testosterone goes down and most of the time they're either and most of the time they're either and most of the time they're either going to the doctor and saying test my going to the doctor and saying test my going to the doctor and saying test my testosterone or the doctor is only testosterone or the doctor is only testosterone or the doctor is only testing the testosterone and not testing testing the testosterone and not testing testing the testosterone and not testing the estrogen and they're just saying oh the estrogen and they're just saying oh the estrogen and they're just saying oh you have low testosterone well why do you have low testosterone well why do you have low testosterone well why do you have low testosterone because you have low testosterone because you have low testosterone because there's a variety of reasons Mercury there's a variety of reasons Mercury there's a variety of reasons Mercury toxicity aluminum toxicity or excess toxicity aluminum toxicity or excess toxicity aluminum toxicity or excess estrogen there's other issues but let's estrogen there's other issues but let's estrogen there's other issues but let's just focus on those and so if you have just focus on those and so if you have just focus on those and so if you have excess estrogen men will have um belly excess estrogen men will have um belly excess estrogen men will have um belly fat they can have uh more fat in their fat they can have uh more fat in their fat they can have uh more fat in their Peck area they could almost have like a Peck area they could almost have like a Peck area they could almost have like a little bit of a curvy figure um in their little bit of a curvy figure um in their little bit of a curvy figure um in their hips area um or they can have a very hips area um or they can have a very hips area um or they can have a very difficult time with building muscle and difficult time with building muscle and difficult time with building muscle and they just end up having more they have a they just end up having more they have a they just end up having more they have a higher BMI they have higher fat than higher BMI they have higher fat than higher BMI they have higher fat than they do muscle and that's because of the they do muscle and that's because of the they do muscle and that's because of the estrogen overload and of course there estrogen overload and of course there estrogen overload and of course there could be uh issues with rectile could be uh issues with rectile could be uh issues with rectile dysfunction and things like that that's dysfunction and things like that that's dysfunction and things like that that's usually a combination of things blood usually a combination of things blood usually a combination of things blood flow included but different topic okay flow included but different topic okay flow included but different topic okay so if you have high so if you have high so if you have high cholesterol you have a [  ] up liver cholesterol you have a [  ] up liver cholesterol you have a [  ] up liver it's inevitable they work together it's inevitable they work together it's inevitable they work together strong probability you have excess strong probability you have excess strong probability you have excess estrogen which is lowering your estrogen which is lowering your estrogen which is lowering your testosterone that alone can be an issue testosterone that alone can be an issue testosterone that alone can be an issue when it comes to fertility quality of when it comes to fertility quality of when it comes to fertility quality of sperm then there are so many men that sperm then there are so many men that sperm then there are so many men that are walking around with silent are walking around with silent are walking around with silent infections in their urinary system infections in their urinary system infections in their urinary system ejaculatory duct prostate because ejaculatory duct prostate because ejaculatory duct prostate because they're all connected if you want to get they're all connected if you want to get they're all connected if you want to get on Google and look at the anatomy of a on Google and look at the anatomy of a on Google and look at the anatomy of a male the urinary system and the male male the urinary system and the male male the urinary system and the male reproductive system they're connected um reproductive system they're connected um reproductive system they're connected

signals of like hey the signs and signals of like hey there's something going on here but most there's something going on here but most there's something going on here but most women that are dealing with reoccurring women that are dealing with reoccurring women that are dealing with reoccurring infections are getting it from their infections are getting it from their infections are getting it from their partner they're getting it from their partner they're getting it from their partner they're getting it from their partner because their partner doesn't partner because their partner doesn't

in there they have little um they have inflamed lymph have little um they have inflamed lymph have little um they have inflamed lymph nodes like those are all things that nodes like those are all things that nodes like those are all things that most men are not in investigating you most men are not in investigating you most men are not in investigating you know and their doctors are not know and their doctors are not know and their doctors are not investigating it it's just like oh well investigating it it's just like oh well investigating it it's just like oh well we check your prostate because you're we check your prostate because you're we check your prostate because you're old now old now old now which is ridiculous but if you're which is ridiculous but if you're which is

are not physical exam most doctors are not running a urine test to say do you have running a urine test to say do you have running a urine test to say do you have white blood cells do you have bacteria white blood cells do you have bacteria white blood cells do you have bacteria do you have you know something going on do you have you know something going on do you have you know something going on that's causing this and then in addition that's causing this and then in addition that's causing this and then in addition to that is I mentioned something about to that is I mentioned something about to that is I mentioned something about Mercury and aluminum Mercury and aluminum Mercury and aluminum earlier nobody is exempt from heavy earlier nobody is exempt from heavy earlier nobody is exempt from heavy metal exposures we were getting exposed metal exposures we were getting exposed metal exposures we were getting exposed to different types of toxins from um top to different types of toxins from um top to different types of toxins from um top water showering in that water food water showering in that water food water showering in that water food pesticide residues aaside like it is pesticide residues aaside like it is pesticide residues aaside like it is everywhere that is the other thing that everywhere that is the other thing that everywhere that is the other thing that if that gets into your blood it gets if that gets into your blood it gets if that gets into your blood it gets filtered by your kidneys and your filtered by your kidneys and your filtered by your kidneys and your kidneys flush it out via your urinary kidneys flush it out via your urinary kidneys flush it out via your urinary stream another Avenue that the prostate stream another Avenue that the prostate stream another Avenue that the prostate is going to get filled up with toxins is going to get filled up with toxins is going to get filled up with toxins that are creating issues and then the that are creating issues and then the that are creating issues and then the longer that goes on it gets into the longer that goes on it gets into the longer that goes on it gets into the lymph nodes around the prostate in the lymph nodes around the prostate in the lymph nodes around the prostate in the pelvic bowl and then it can affect your pelvic bowl and then it can affect your pelvic bowl and then it can affect your testicles which is then testicles which is then testicles which is then creating issues with creating issues with creating issues with fertility and really the other major fertility and really the other major fertility and really the other major factor here is blood flow so the other factor here is blood flow so the other factor here is blood flow so the other drug that I mentioned is men are drug that I mentioned is men are drug that I mentioned is men are typically on blood pressure medication typically on blood pressure medication typically on blood pressure medication it is so common and it is so common and it is so common and so I don't know what it is about people so I don't know what it is about people so I don't know what it is about people thinking like blood pressure heart and thinking like blood pressure heart and thinking like blood pressure heart and oh my heart I got to worry about my oh my heart I got to worry about my oh my heart I got to worry about my heart I got to go to cardiologist guess heart I got to go to cardiologist guess heart I got to go to cardiologist guess what blood blood flow goes everywhere in what blood blood flow goes everywhere in what blood blood flow goes everywhere in your entire body like if you're if a your entire body like if you're if a your entire body like if you're if a tissue doesn't get blood flow it doesn't tissue doesn't get blood flow it doesn't tissue doesn't get blood flow it doesn't get oxygen and it dies so you have blood get oxygen and it dies so you have blood get oxygen and it dies so you have blood vessels throughout your entire body that vessels throughout your entire body that vessels throughout your entire body that are bringing blood nutrients and are bringing blood nutrients and are bringing blood nutrients and oxygenation to those tissues so if you oxygenation to those tissues so if you oxygenation to those tissues so if you have injuries to your low back because have injuries to your low back because have injuries to your low back because you were an athlete you've broken your you were an athlete you've broken your you were an athlete you've broken your tailbone because you were a crazy ski or tailbone because you were a crazy ski or tailbone because you were a crazy ski or snow boarder you have had uh you know snow boarder you have had uh you know snow boarder you have had uh you know you rode horses like whatever you did you rode horses like whatever you did you rode horses like whatever you did motorbike you know most males did crazy motorbike you know most males did crazy motorbike you know most males did crazy [  ] when they were young if it was you [  ] when they were young if it was you [  ] when they were young if it was you know a a sport they did often or it was know a a sport they did often or it was know a a sport they did often or it was something they did it as a hobby or they something they did it as a hobby or they something they did it as a hobby or they just did dumb [  ] and fell and broke just did dumb [  ] and fell and broke just did dumb [  ] and fell and broke bones etc etc guess what if you have any bones etc etc guess what if you have any bones etc etc guess what if you have any type of musculoskeletal stuff or Scar type of musculoskeletal stuff or Scar type of musculoskeletal stuff or Scar Tissue that's affecting your low back Tissue that's affecting your low back Tissue that's affecting your low back pelvic Bowl that's affecting blood flow pelvic Bowl that's affecting blood flow pelvic Bowl that's affecting blood flow to your testicles to your prostate to to your testicles to your prostate to to your testicles to your prostate to your ejaculatory duct it's it and so your ejaculatory duct it's it and so your ejaculatory duct it's it and so it's not only just affecting the blood it's not only just affecting the blood it's not only just affecting the blood flow to it but it's also affecting the flow to it but it's also affecting the flow to it but it's also affecting the veins taking toxic blood away from it so veins taking toxic blood away from it so veins taking toxic blood away from it so if you have blood pressure issues right if you have blood pressure issues right if you have blood pressure issues right off the bat you're having trouble with off the bat you're having trouble with off the bat you're having trouble with blood getting to the distal parts of blood getting to the distal parts of blood getting to the distal parts of your body your body your body because when you look at blood pressure because when you look at blood pressure because when you look at blood pressure there's the top number and the bottom there's the top number and the bottom there's the top number and the bottom number the top number is an indicator number the top number is an indicator number the top number is an indicator for inflammation
