In this week's episode I had the great pleasure of interviewing Acupuncturist, Herbalist AND Medical Doctor, Dr. Olivia Pojer.

Dr. Pojer is pioneering the study of male fertility issues in Chinese medicine and is a wealth of knowledge on the subject!

Tune in to this weeks episode to learn more about some of the most common causes of male infertility and what to do about them!

Some highlights from the episode:

  • The importance of getting a semen analysis early on in a fertility journey
  • Clarify pregnancy vs. life birth rate statistics from fertility clinics
  • How the semen analysis can help motivate men to make healthy changes
  • The semen analysis isn’t the whole picture
  • The importance of viscosity in the analysis
  • Check for varicoceles!
  • Keep the testes cool
  • The semen analysis as a window to a man’s overall health
  • Having sex before ovulation to optimize chances of conception
  • Level of arousal and length of sexual experience can impact fertility outcome
  • Ejaculation at least 2x/week for adequate circulation
  • Common Chinese medicine patterns related to sperm issues: Blood stasis & Phlegm accumulation
