Male Fertility

1 in 5 couples struggle with fertility. While this topic is typically directed to future moms, today we’d like to talk to the dudes looking to be dads.
Fertility is not a common topic amongst most men. Rarely is it even a thought of, until the day comes that you are ready to create a family. In functional + lifestyle medicine, rather than blaming symptoms for a problem (like infertility), we look for underlying dysfunction in the body. We dive deep to better appreciate the various possibilities and causes.
While there are a multitude of reasons why a couple may have difficulty with conception, the vast majority can be addressed and often restored through basic lifestyle modifications. Nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, obstruction, chronic disease, and inflammation are amongst the most common causes and can be evaluated through simple and inexpensive testing options.
In conjunction with lifestyle modifications, it is also valuable to produce a semen analysis to better appreciate the quality, quantity, viability, and mobility of reproductive cells. There are a plethora of andrology labs available to offer this service, but few that provide for the privacy, comfort, and cost that most desire. That’s why we partnered with @meetfellow. Fellow allows you to provide a specimen in the comfort of your own home, costs significantly less than other andrology clinics, and provides quick lab-grade results (within 3 days) that are physician reviewed/approved.
If fertility is something you are struggling with, please contact us today to schedule a visit (link in bio). Because of our partnership with Fellow, we can also provide you with an additional discount code to further reduce the cost of your at-home specimen collection kit.
We are here for you and yours + we consider it an honor to help grow your family.
