Summary

Ian Stones is a co-founder of testhim , alongside Michael Close and Toby Trice. Together, they're on a mission to transform the way men understand and approach their fertility. Through testhim, they've built a platform dedicated to raising awareness, improving education, expanding access to advanced fertility testing, and connecting men with the support they need. Their goal is to break the stigma surrounding male fertility and empower men to take an active role in their reproductive health. Key Points: Why male fertility deserves equal attention in every infertility evaluation. Why men should be tested sooner—not later. What a semen analysis tells you—and what it can miss. Advanced testing for DNA fragmentation, oxidative stress, varicocele, and other hidden contributors. The role of cryptorchidism (undescended testicles) in adult fertility. Nutrition, lifestyle, and evidence-based treatments to improve reproductive health. When antioxidant therapy may help (and what to be mindful of). Supporting men's emotional well-being throughout the fertility journey.
