Are you convinced yet?

There is a link between exercise, training, metabolic health, and definitely fertility.

I think we are going to see more and more literature come out on this, muscle mass and fertility, as by the time you're 60, we'll definitely have more.

I do.

There is insulin resistance.

When you think about skeletal muscle and insulin resistance, skeletal muscle makes up 40% of your body weight or so, depending.

For me, it might be less.

For you, it might be more.

When skeletal muscle becomes insulin resistant, again, which means insulin is a...

peptide hormone that is released from the pancreas you require insulin to move glucose out of the bloodstream into cells when you exercise you do not require insulin to move blood glucose out of the bloodstream into skeletal muscle tissue it can be insulin independent

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is multifactorial.

There is a component of polycystic ovarian syndrome that is related to skeletal muscle insulin resistance.

Once an individual manages their skeletal muscle mass, again, there's a various number of reasons as to why someone would have it, but in part, addressing skeletal muscle mass and skeletal muscle insulin resistance can help resolve polycystic ovarian syndrome in certain cases.

And sperm health.

Yes.

But also, let's say we didn't talk about what would happen if you listened.

Holy cow, the guy's a beast.

He's now taken over the world.

My dad.

Oh my gosh.
