Fiona shares her insights on the topic and provides valuable advice on preparing your body mentally, physically, and emotionally for pregnancy during the pre-conception phase. Here are some of the topics that we delve into in the show with Dr. Fiona Tassoni: In your opinion, when is IVF really necessary, and when do you believe couples should explore alternative fertility treatments? The decline of sperm has become a growing concern. Can you explain what may be causing this, and what men can do to optimize their sperm health?
