In this follow up episode, fertility specialist Dr Becky Taylor returns to shift the spotlight onto male fertility, an often overlooked part of the conception conversation. While fertility planning is frequently framed as a women’s issue, Dr Taylor explains why male age, genetics and lifestyle play a critical role in embryo health, miscarriage risk and long term child outcomes, particularly for doctors who delay family planning due to training and career demands.
We unpack what actually affects sperm quality, from DNA fragmentation and genetic conditions to factors like smoking, BMI, sedentary work and heat exposure. Dr Taylor explains why semen analysis and early testing matter, how lifestyle changes can meaningfully improve outcomes, and why waiting until problems arise can limit available options for couples. We also explore why both partners should be assessed early, rather than assuming fertility challenges sit on one side alone.
Whether you are planning to have children soon, considering fertility preservation, or want clarity earlier rather than later, this episode offers practical, evidence based insights to support informed decision making. It continues our broader focus on investing not just financially, but in long term life planning, helping doctors align career goals with the realities of fertility and family.
