I have known Dr Tony for over 20 years, and his expertise and generosity as a fertility specialist had a direct impact in my life with the birth of my young daughter. It was a privilege having him on the show to be able to share his 50 year plus years of experience and knowledge.

Dr Antonio (Tony) Rodrigues is a founding member and director of Medfem Fertility Clinic. Tony is a Gynaecologist and Obstetrician and qualified at the University of the Witwatersrand, Gauteng, South Africa, graduating in 1979. Tony is also a Fellow of College of Obstetrics and Gynaecologists and completed his FCOG in 1989 at the University of the Witwatersrand.

In 2000, Tony was awarded his MBA through Henley Management College London and completed his dissertation on ‘The Health Maintenance of Knowledge Based Workers – Who is Responsible’.

In addition to his fertility background Tony is an expert in lifestyle and its effect on fertility of females and males. Research performed by Tony became a catalyst for the book ‘Faster, Better, Sicker – Time Urgency Perfectionism Stress and Your Health’ Over the past 14 years, Tony has taken a special interest in the diagnosis and management of Time Urgency Stress in infertile women with special reference to endometriosis, and in this time has assessed over 4000 patients.

As a result of the research and medical findings, Tony has co-launched an online Time Urgency Stress Management Course with internet-based assessment and feedback – tups.co, as well as a TUPS stress management mobile app. He has also pioneer minimal invasive surgery, the development of a growth hormone supplement called StaminoGro and has appeared in many media channels.

Hormone health and fertility, peptides, HGH, BCAAs and the use exogenous hormonal therapy and why just one dose of progesterone or testosterone can ruin a couple’s fertility chances for years!!!

That time of the month for women – what normal cycles should feel like and what levels of pain and discomfort during menstruation is normal and what are symptoms of bigger issues and why Dr Tony is seeing more endometriosis and hostile mucus than ever before.
