In today’s episode, we’re talking about the role men play in fertility and women’s health. Too often, the fertility journey places the burden entirely on women, physically, emotionally, and medically. Dr. McCarthy unpacks why that’s both inaccurate and damaging, and shares what true masculinity looks like during this chapter: support, presence, and courage. From hormone imbalances and sperm health to the overlooked emotional toll men face, this episode is a candid call for men to stay in the room—with their partners and with themselves.

🔍 Topics covered: Why the fertility industry fails couples

The emotional withdrawal reflex many men experience

Microplastics, testosterone, and sperm quality

What lab work men should request

The truth about aging and male fertility

Real steps to support your partner and reclaim your role

Whether you're navigating fertility, supporting someone who is, or simply want to be a better partner, this episode offers insight and grounded advice.

Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona.

He’s also taught and mentored other physicians on integrative approaches to hormone therapy, weight loss, fertility, and more. If you’re ready to take your health seriously, this podcast is a great place to start.
