Memorable Quotes
"Vitamin D actually improves calcium signaling in sperm cells. And calcium is probably one of the most underestimated nutrients for both male and female fertility, but especially in males."
"If pregnancy is a natural process and it's not happening, something is missing. And don't get me wrong, there is a time and place for IVF, but in my opinion, everybody should be getting ready for IVF. Minimum six months."
"We want optimal levels, not just barely over the line of, quote, unquote, normal again. Abundance, right? Abundance. Vitality. This is true for both of you guys. So, ladies, for you and for your partner, for his sperm quality, for your egg quality, for your immune system function, for your hormones, for all these things that I just talked about, vitamin D is really important."
