The Fertility 101 Series, because there's no shortage of daunting terms to keep your mind running, is a quick and dirty breakdown on a specific topic with insights from a fertility expert.

When it comes to fertility, men are half of the equation, but too often, they're the half that gets forgotten or overlooked. This Men's Health Month, we're joined by Dr. Paul Turek, a world-renowned urologist and male fertility expert, to talk all things sperm, from how it's made to how it affects fertility and IVF.

Dr. Turek explains how sperm health isn't just about making babies, it's also a sign of a man's overall health, tied to things like life expectancy, cancer risk, and heart health. Dr. Turek also tells us about his podcast, Talk with Turek, where he and Rob Clyde expose men's health and talk about it frankly – tackling the issues that matter. So, if you want to hear more on men's health from Dr. Turek, you're in luck!

And if you've never thought about getting a semen analysis, this episode might change that. Whether you're thinking about starting a family, planning for the future, or just want to stay healthy, your sperm may tell you more than you could believe.
