    Is Men’s Sexual Health a Biomarker for Overall Health? Dr. Paul Turek Thinks So
    Oct 27 2025
    This week, Jim is chatting with his own doctor, Dr. Paul Turek, one of the nation’s leading experts in male fertility and founder of The Turek Clinic. Jim and Dr. Turek talk about why sperm health reflects overall health, and how mental health, physical health, epigenetics, lifestyle, and environment ALL affect fertility. They discuss how men's resistance to the doctors is more often due to the fact that they are siloed. Kids have pediatricians. At 16, girls move on to their gynecologists, who become primary care doctors, while boy's health care fades. This conversation will hopefully help you see how men’s health and fertility require a holistic, 360-degree approach to the body, mind, and spirit. In this episode, you'll learn: 1. How sperm health reflects total wellness 2. How microplastics affect fertility 3. Why men lose consistent care after youth 4. How GLP-1 drugs may help sperm count 5. What happens during “manopause”

How coordinated global research efforts drove one of medicine’s biggest mortality declines 2. How agriculture, economics, and environment are as critical as biology in reducing risk 3.
