It's Not Me, It's You: Top LA Fertility Specialist: Dr Shahin Ghadir, Talking Sperm Health

When it comes to fertility, the focus on finding the issue often falls on the woman. However, the stats show us that male fertility is equally as likely to be the root of the issue. It's time to change this focus on women and balance out this conversation. In this episode, Chloe talks to Dr Shahin Ghadir, a top LA fertility specialist, to talk all things male fertility and sperm health.
