If you're in the prime of your career, bustling with exciting opportunities, starting a family might not be your priority. Khaled Kteily, founder of Legacy, a male fertility clinic, understands the choice to follow your own timeline.

But he does want all men to know this: while you wait, your fertility may be taking a silent nosedive. In fact, global sperm counts have dropped by nearly 60 percent over the past 40 years, according to recent research. 

Don’t let these numbers freak you out. On this episode of Hone In with Saad Alam, Kteily reveals easy lifestyle tweaks that can help optimize your sperm quality.

He also dishes on male fertility secrets (like the fact that your household products could be killing your swimmers), how chronic illness can impact your reproductive health, preserving your sperm before undergoing male optimization treatments, and more. 

Kteily shares how Legacy is leveraging sperm-freezing technology to prepare for the next generation—only when you’re ready, of course.
