How to Optimize Fertility in Males & Females

I discuss the mechanisms by which human eggs and sperm are
generated, the ovulatory/menstrual cycle, the conception process
and overall fertility in males and females. I also explain how,
regardless of whether you seek to conceive children, optimizing egg
and sperm health is directly related to vitality and longevity. I
cover nutritional, behavioral, supplemental, and medicinal
approaches to optimizing egg and sperm health, the
ovulatory/menstrual cycle and fertility. In addition, I explain
lifestyle choices that greatly assist or harm fertility—several of
which are very surprising. I provide science-based protocols for
those trying to conceive children. The tools and principles I
discuss can also improve overall vitality and longevity for
everyone, regardless of age.  Thank you to our sponsors AG1:
