Reproductive System and Glycation

In this episode of the College of Glycation, Dr. Paul Reynolds explores how glycation impacts one of the most metabolically sensitive systems in the body: the reproductive system. From PCOS and ovarian dysfunction to erectile dysfunction and impaired nitric oxide signaling, this episode connects advanced glycation end products (AGEs) to hormonal imbalance, vascular damage, and chronic inflammation. Dr. Reynolds also examines gestational diabetes, placental dysfunction, and the emerging science of transgenerational metabolic programming—revealing how a mother’s metabolic health may influence not only her child, but potentially future generations.Grounded in peer-reviewed research, this conversation makes a compelling case that fertility and sexual health are not isolated issues—they are reflections of metabolic integrity. If you care about hormones, pregnancy, longevity, or preventing chronic disease, this episode underscores a powerful principle: protecting your metabolism protects everything downstream.Paul’s favorite yerba mate: https://ufeelgreat.com/usa/en/c/C63EE3  Paul’s favorite source for clean, earth-sourced essentials such as salt, elecrolytes, hydration, pre-workout and more.
