Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy!
In this episode, Dr. McCarthy opens up about the psychological hurdles men face when it comes to reproductive health, how avoidance can create deep relationship wounds, and why it's critical for male partners to step into fertility conversations with courage and compassion.
He breaks down:
✔️ The emotional weight women carry in fertility journeys
✔️ How low testosterone and sperm count influence male behavior
✔️ Why fertility has been unfairly framed as a “women’s issue”
✔️ The connection between masculinity and fertility shame
✔️ What men can do TODAY to show up differently
Whether you're a woman looking for tools to help your partner understand the burden you carry, or a man ready to take ownership of your role in this shared journey, this episode offers insight, validation, and hope.
