19. Men's health & fertility with Andy Lucas

Men are often forgotten about when it comes to their health and fertility. But with fertility rates declining worldwide, and sperm count having decreased globally by 50% in the last 50 years, men's health and fertility is a conversation we all need to be having. This week I chat with qualified Naturopath, strength coach, and men's health coach, Andy Lucas, who flips mainstream men's health on it's head to help men thrive. Andy has created The Healthy Man Method, a no BS framework built on the basic foundations of wellbeing — the stuff that actually works — with six simple steps for improving your gut, your sex life and your performance. This method fast track's Andy's clients' healing journey, so they can achieve a better existence. Andy is also the author of "Blood Chemistry: How to interpret blood tests for optimal health" available on his website andylucas.com.au In this episode: What the mainstream tells us about health is BS The importance of optimising health and hormones (including testosterone) in men - how this impacts energy, mood, cognition, fitness, libido, and more The impact of heat and cold exposure on men's health The impact of endocrine disrupting chemicals and environmental toxins on men's health Why we can't forget about men in preconception prep How far in advance should men think about optimising their fertility?
