Improving Male Sexual Health, Function & Fertility | Dr. Michael Eisenberg

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Michael Eisenberg, MD, a urologist
and professor specializing in male sexual function and fertility at
Stanford University. Based on his clinical work and research, he is
considered a top world expert on male sexual and reproductive
health. We discuss testosterone levels and what really impacts
them, testosterone therapy, sperm quality and counts, penile and
testicular health and function, pelvic floor and prostate and
urinary tract health, erectile function and dysfunction and the
various causes and treatments for common male sexual, hormonal and
reproductive challenges. We also address post-finasteride syndrome
and trends in penile length. This episode is rich in actionable
information about men’s sexual and reproductive health, including
key tests and at-home evaluations, and the behavioral, nutritional,
exercise and prescription-based tools that can support male sexual
and reproductive health. For show notes, including referenced
