Health Is A Skill with Todd Vande Hei

Welcome to the Health is a Skill podcast with host Todd Vande Hei! Todd is the CEO of Stark, which exists to change the future of health and fitness in the communities they serve. For the last 15 years, Todd has been on a journey to discover what it means to be in a state of peak health. After suffering from a series of seizures and being diagnosed with high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation in his early 30’s, Todd decided it was time to make a change. Those changes fell into one of four categories: lifestyle, exercise, nutrition, and stress management. But the biggest thing Todd learned through it all? Health is a skill. You’re not born with it, like some would like you to believe, and it isn’t acquired by simply buying another product or starting that new diet. Health is something you can create for yourself, and over time it is possible to attain peak health.

Male Fertility & The Impact of Testosterone Replacement Therapy, with Michael Moeller, ND

January 23, 2025 • Todd Vande Hei • Season 3 • Episode 3

On today’s episode of Health is a Skill, Todd is diving into a topic that is becoming more and more prevalent for men: lower rates of male fertility. Dr. Michael Moeller is a naturopathic medical doctor who specializes in men’s health, with a focus on fertility optimization and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Together the two discuss why men across the board are experiencing lower rates of fertility and testosterone than ever before and how to combat this issue from a health standpoint.

Todd starts off the conversation by asking Michael why he believes male fertility rates have been dropping globally, and some of the key factors behind this change from even just 50 years ago. The episode then gets into some of the ways men can naturally boost their testosterone levels, the benefits of TRT, and the impact of factors like diet, exercise, and other treatments on male fertility. If you’re a guy, especially in your younger years, don’t skip this information-packed episode!
