## Resource

Today on The Egg Whisperer Show podcast, I'm sharing The BALLS Method. We've got the TUSHY Method for the gals, and the BALLS Method is a super easy mnemonic that makes it easy to remember the five things you need to know if your sperm count is low. So, tune in to hear me talk more about these important considerations for the guys: B = Background genetics (sperm DNA frag, chromosome analysis, Y chr microdeletion) A = Anatomy (varicocoele) L = Labs (hormones like testosterone) L = Lifestyle (alcohol, marijuana, medications, body size, exercise + nutrition) S = Sex life (get help for erectile dysfunction) Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website My Book, The Egg Whisperer Way comes out in Summer of 2026.
