In this eye-opening episode of Fertile Talks, Dr. Famuyiwa explores the surprising connection between high blood pressure—and even pre-hypertension—and male fertility. Drawing on new research, she reveals how elevated blood pressure can negatively affect sperm quality, DNA integrity, and the success rates of assisted reproductive technologies (ART).

With nearly one in three men living with high blood pressure and many more in the pre-hypertensive range, this episode sheds light on an often-overlooked factor in fertility planning. Dr. Famuyiwa explains the underlying biological mechanisms, from oxidative stress to impaired testicular function, and offers practical steps men can take to improve their reproductive health.

Whether you're planning for fatherhood or supporting a partner on their fertility journey, this episode delivers vital insights to help you make informed, proactive choices for your family’s future.
