Testosterone, or as you may know it, ‘the manly hormone.’   It’s true that we tend to associate testosterone with manliness...conjuring up images of hairy cavemen gnawing on meat. But there’s a scientific reason behind this!  Although testosterone is a hormone present in both men and women, it plays a more significant role for men. It affects bone and muscle mass, the way fat is stored in the body, and even red blood cell production. A low level of testosterone can result in a loss in libido and low sperm production, which are of course essential for conception. A man’s testosterone levels...

Ah, veganism...the endless debate.   Is it good for you or is it not? The world loves to discuss this ethical diet and how it can help or hinder your health. With so many contradictory articles out there, it can be distressing and confusing to form an answer.  I’ve experimented with veganism for the past few years, so I understand the speculation around this plant–based diet. If done incorrectly, this ethical lifestyle can really affect your health. Trust me, I’ve been there!  Now, we know that a healthy body is paramount for conception, so if you’re vegan or considering adopting this...

Ok guys, let’s talk about Yoga...  Yes, yoga...that thing you see soccer moms jabbering about, as they sip their green juice in their stretchy lycra pants. But in all seriousness, Yoga isn’t just something that your girlfriend or sister can do.   Men do Yoga too!  In fact, Yoga has been used to aid male fertility throughout history, with Yogic practices such as Kundalini yoga reported to increase sperm count. Now I’m not saying you have to quit your job and become a Yogi in order to conceive...but since the studies show this helps your chances, then why not give it a go!  ...

  Let’s talk about superfoods!  Over recent years, the world has become obsessed with superfoods. Goji berries, cacao beans, green tea, you name it, we’ve found it...But what actually makes a superfood, super? And how can these foods help your chances of conception.   Well, first of all, superfoods earn their ‘super’ title because of their impressively high levels of nutrients and vitamins in comparison to more mundane foods like pasta or rice. This is what gives them their ‘power’, as it were.  A multitude of studies has shown that highly dosed nutrients have potentially significant impact on overall sperm quality.    Below...

We worked with fertility doctors and the UK’s Channel4 to test the cooling power of Snowballs against boxers and regular briefs. Three men spent a day wearing each type of underwear, and then an infrared thermometer was aimed at their hot zones.

Greg ordered a set of our cooling underwear two years ago, hoping to enhance his production of testosterone. He took a scientific approach to the challenge and began tracking his testosterone with blood tests. And over the next year, he saw astonishing results. His testosterone increased even more than we imagined possible. 

Certain lifestyle factors are linked to higher rates of damage in the genetic material in men’s sperm, a study suggests.

Indian women continue to suffer in absence of a specialised centre to treat male infertility as most fertility clinics are gynaecology driven.

Over the past few years, I have come across several cases where couples come to me for treatment related to infertility and other problems in their marital life. It is always easy to hold the woman responsible for fertility and if there is something wrong, the first thought goes in the direction of the woman involved. Is her health fine? Is her system supporting conception and child birth?

Researchers studying reproductive science identified a network of proteins often linked to cancer as also important to male fertility and the birth of healthy offspring, according to a study in the Oct. 18 online issue of Cell Reports.

Men are less likely to go and see their doctor than a woman. It’s a well known fact. Men tend to brush over health problems or symptoms they may be suffering from due to their nature. They tend to just get on with things and carry on. But this is where some health problems then go unnoticed, especially as a man get’s older. Which is why sometimes when you spot the signs of some of the top risks of male health you must get seen to straight away. Which is why I thought it was important to highlight some of the health risks many men face as they get older.
