Shoot Your Best Shot with Dr. Josh Gonzalez

Listen Now

Tune into this conversation with the incredible Dr. Josh Gonzalez, a board-certified urologist fellowship-trained in sexual medicine and specializing in the management of male and female sexual dysfunctions. Dr. Gonzalez has been featured in Vogue and is a medical contributor to Men’s Health and Cosmopolitan, among others. He is a sexual health expert who has built a following on TikTok and Instagram, where he uses social media to educate on sexual and reproductive health. He is also the co-founder of Popstar, a men’s supplement addressing semen health. I loved talking with Dr. Gonzalez. I can’t wait to share his incredible work with you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • That 50 percent of infertility cases are related to male factor infertility. That’s half of the cases, but somehow, we default label infertility as a female issue.
  • How oral contraceptive pills cause an elevation in a protein called sex hormone binding globulin in women. This is a protein you don’t want large amounts of in your body, as it binds up all of your hormones. When the hormones are bound, they can’t be effectively used.
  • About the groundswell of men coming into Dr. Gonzalez’s office requesting vasectomies after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
  • How you can easily test your sperm with at-home collection kits. For not much money, you can freeze your sperm, too.
