Send us Fan MailCould the modern sedentary lifestyle be affecting male fertility more than we realise?In this episode of The Natural Narrative, Leone Wilson speaks with medical researcher, author and Cool Beans Underwear founder Saara Jamieson about the overlooked role of men’s health in fertility.Saara’s work began with her own deeply personal experience of infertility and pregnancy loss. While much of the investigation and responsibility initially centred on her, she began asking an important question:What about the male side of fertility?Drawing on her medical research background, Saara began exploring sperm health, testicular temperature and the potential effects of prolonged sitting and heat exposure.During this fascinating conversation, Leone and Saara discuss research suggesting that sitting can raise scrotal temperature, why the testes need to remain cooler than the rest of the body and how everyday habits may influence sperm quality.They also explore the striking differences sometimes observed between physically active and sedentary occupations. Could the movement naturally built into many blue-collar jobs help explain why some research has found better semen parameters among more physically active men than among men who spend most of their working day seated?The conversation also examines concerning predictions about declining global sperm counts and what male reproductive health could look like by 2050 if current trends continue.Together, Leone and Saara discuss:• Why fertility is still too often treated as a women’s issue• The potential relationship between sitting, heat and sperm health• Why sperm count is only one part of the male fertility picture• Sperm motility, morphology and DNA fragmentation• The difference between association and proven causation• Why men’s fertility deserves attention before a couple begins trying to conceive• The emotional burden women frequently carry during fertility investigations• How Saara turned personal adversity and scientific curiosity into Cool Beans Underwear• Why male reproductive health needs to become part of a much broader public conversationThis is an eye-opening discussion about fertility, physiology, innovation and the everyday lifestyle factors we may not think about until something goes wrong.🎧 Listen to Are We Sitting on a Male Fertility Crisis?
