Memorable Quotes

“Everything, and I mean everything that the male does will reflect in his sperm—the food that he’s eating, the amount of times that he’s pooping, how much he’s sweating, how much he’s exercising or not exercising, the amount of stress that he’s under, how much he’s sleeping or not sleeping, how much alcohol he’s drinking or smoking.”

“If the male collects sperm analysis for three, not three days in a row, but three days apart, literally, you know, in a row. So in nine days, every single one of those samples will be different.”

“When I see the abnormal heads, I’m thinking DNA fragmentation, I’m thinking oxidative stress. And when we’re talking about oxidative stress, we’re thinking the amount of damage that’s going on in the body is not being caught up by the repair for, aka, antioxidants. And so diet, lifestyle, inflammation, blood sugar regulation, exercise, too little or too much smoking, drinking, lack of sleep, all of these things are going to be impacted.”
