In today’s show, we talk about the role that acupuncture can play in improving fertility in both women and men. We discuss the importance of seeking assistance early especially if a woman is noticing signs of sub-optimal fertility. We talk about male factor infertility, why it is so important for men to be tested early, and the myth that infertility is a women’s issue. After today’s show, I’m thinking that a lot more men will be heading out to see their fertility doctor for some basic fertility testing!
