  • Sperm Health, Aging, and Male Infertility with guest Dr. Kristin Brogaard

    Sperm Health, Aging, and Male Infertility with guest Dr. Kristin Brogaard
    2025/05/02
    Today, Dr. Kristin Brogaard is joining me today to talk about the Path Fertility SpermQT test. I’m so excited to have her share about the test, because as you’ll hear her say “lots of infertility goes undiagnosed because men go undiagnosed, and when men go undiagnosed, women go through procedures that will not work.” (Who else wants to see this on a bumper sticker?) While sperm were long considered to be just carriers of DNA, it turns out they are a lot more complex than that! Understanding the sperm side of the equation can help anyone trying to conceive better understand what’s going on, and help them figure out the best plan to get pregnant.

    A few exciting highlights from our discussion:

    • Male and sperm epigenetics play a big role in getting pregnant, and having a successful live birth.
    • The SpermQT test can tell someone if their sperm is excellent, average, or poor quality. - Knowing this information can help you and your doctor determine the most efficient and appropriate next steps in your treatment or protocols.
    • Understanding the quality of the sperm can lead to better outcomes. If it is “excellent,” there is an increased likelihood of IUI working, even in cases where doctors thought sperm might be the issue with getting pregnant.
    • If sperm quality is “poor,” you may want to try making lifestyle changes to improve sperm quality, and retest. - Poor sperm quality often correlates with other longer term health issues for men, as sperm acts as a “canary in the coal mine.” (an early warning system)
    Dr. Kristin Brogaard has a PhD from Northwestern University where she developed a novel epigenetic technology that allowed for a more accurate understanding of gene expression in health and disease cells. She is now the chief scientific officer of Path Fertility, whose goal is to raise the standard in male reproductive health, starting with male infertility.

    Thank you for joining us, Kristin!

  • Secondary Infertility

    Secondary Infertility
    2025/05/01
    Secondary infertility affects so many of my patients. In today’s podcast episode, I’m talking about what happens when someone has no trouble getting pregnant for baby number one and then struggles to conceive another child. People in this situation often don’t know what to do because this is so new to them. I’m sharing everything you need to know about secondary infertility: the causes, treatments, and some of my tips.

    The truth is, secondary infertility is overwhelming and upsetting. You want to make sure that you have people around that support you, so I also encourage you to share this episode with your family and friends, so they know how to support you going through something that can be soul-crushing. I’m a very positive person, but I understand how hard it is to be a fertility patient.
