What is Male Fertility Optimization?
In our practice, we define this as the ability to optimize the quality and quantity of your sperm by reversing your metabolic and lifestyle risk factors.
Dr. Shapiro uses a systems-oriented approach to identify your risk factors and then creates a personalized, comprehensive treatment plan which includes:
- Treating Metabolic Health Issues Affecting Fertility
- Creating Fertility-Focused Nutrition and Supplement Programs
- Implementing Lifestyle Changes that Support Fertility
When infertility persists despite metabolic health optimization, Dr. Shapiro will refer you to a fertility specialist nearest you.
