If you look at fertility rates over recent decades, the data is shocking. Sperm counts and testosterone levels have dropped, the incidence of miscarriages has risen, and overall ability to reproduce is on the decline. From an evolutionary standpoint, human fertility is a critical part of our health. And like many other issues plaguing our society, there’s a lot we can do to make a positive impact on our overall reproductive health.

On this episode of The Model Health Show, Mike Mutzel from High-Intensity Health is back to discuss what’s behind declining fertility rates, like endocrine-disrupting chemicals and other environmental factors. You’re going to hear simple, natural, and accessible ways to boost testosterone and balance hormonal health for both men and women.

This episode contains important conversations on human reproductive health, the role of testosterone for overall wellness, and why walking is an indispensable human behavior. We’re also going to talk about the adverse effects of hormonal birth control, and why building muscle should be a goal for everyone. Listen in, take good notes, and enjoy this interview with my friend, Mike Mutzel!
