Latest / Health Wealth / Hidden Male Infertility: Why Gym Fitness Doesn’t Equal Fertility | Dr Sankalp Jain | Doctor vs Internet
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: This is India Today Podcasts. Not very long ago, normal
- 0:08Speaker 1: deliveries or in fact, normal way of conceiving was the norm.
- 0:12Speaker 1: IVF was the exception. Something has changed in the world
- 0:16Speaker 1: around us, in the lifestyles around us, in people around us,
- 0:20Speaker 1: that IVF deliveries have become very common. In fact, it
- 0:25Speaker 1: may not be the right word to say common. Because
- 0:28Speaker 1: it's not an easy process. Not easy emotionally, not easy
- 0:33Speaker 1: on the pocket. Definitely very, very grilling for the woman
- 0:37Speaker 1: and the entire family. So what is this entire phenomenon
- 0:42Speaker 1: of IVF deliveries? Are fertility rates in India dropping, which
- 0:46Speaker 1: is why a resurgence has happened? Or is there a
- 0:49Speaker 1: fear mongering then by the IVF clinics themselves to showcase
- 0:54Speaker 1: this is the need of the hour? What is the
- 0:55Speaker 1: fine line that one needs to draw? We will talk
- 0:59Speaker 1: about this in the next one hour. And with me
- 1:01Speaker 1: now is Dr. Sankalp Chain. He is a fertility and
- 1:03Speaker 1: intimacy physician. Very popular online. Comes from Lucknow. So I
- 1:08Speaker 1: have a special love and connection over there. So let's
- 1:10Speaker 1: start with the most basic question, Dr.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Sankalp.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Why are there so many IVF deliveries? Is it necessary?
- 1:18Speaker 1: Or is it a fear-mongering?
- 1:23Speaker 2: So I have to simplify it a little bit. Just
- 1:26Speaker 2: because it's like When we started in Lucknow, there were
- 1:32Speaker 2: around 12-16 centres. Today, there are 200. So, 10 years ago,
- 1:37Speaker 2: there were only 12-16 centres. Today, there are 200 centres. Now, obviously,
- 1:41Speaker 2: you go into a North Indian cuisine restaurant. You won't
- 1:45Speaker 2: go there and ask for Chinese mango, right? So it's
- 1:48Speaker 2: just like that, that you are, I mean, you are
- 1:51Speaker 2: not diseased, you are just going for a consultation, but
- 1:54Speaker 2: that fertility clinic, IVF clinic, is pushing only one thing,
- 2:00Speaker 2: that IVF, IVF, IVF. It's not working? Okay, IVF. It's
- 2:04Speaker 2: not working? Okay, IVF. So that kind of an approach,
- 2:07Speaker 2: and moreover, patients, just as a spreadsheet, a number of you,
- 2:12Speaker 2: case opened, IVF happened or not happened. So that approach
- 2:16Speaker 2: is killing the process. But IVF on a whole is
- 2:20Speaker 2: a blessing. I mean, think about those for whom it
- 2:22Speaker 2: was not possible. And if they are getting a child later,
- 2:26Speaker 2: so such a beautiful thing, a little orientation changed. Just
- 2:32Speaker 2: being corporates, someone else's money was spent, outsiders and after that,
- 2:35Speaker 2: here it is going on in the name of Indian.
- 2:38Speaker 2: So this approach changed a little. Whereas fertility was all
- 2:41Speaker 2: about We used to go to physicians, gynecologists, they used
- 2:45Speaker 2: to write you iron pills and tell you to go
- 2:47Speaker 2: and try. Now, it's not like that. There are good people. Obviously,
- 2:51Speaker 2: good people are there. But you enter an IVF clinic
- 2:54Speaker 2: and there you go.
- 2:56Speaker 1: You're a customer.
- 2:58Speaker 2: It shouldn't happen.
- 3:00Speaker 1: It shouldn't happen. So, explain to me what has happened
- 3:04Speaker 1: in the last few years with our lifestyles. Or let
- 3:06Speaker 1: me give you an example. It's a very common thing
- 3:10Speaker 1: to say that now, weddings are getting delayed. The kids
- 3:13Speaker 1: have become very busy. It's a very stressful lifestyle. These
- 3:17Speaker 1: are very common reasons cited on why people are not
- 3:21Speaker 1: being able to conceive naturally. Which is perhaps the most
- 3:24Speaker 1: natural thing, the most basic thing that human beings are
- 3:27Speaker 1: born with. But at the same time, you have women
- 3:30Speaker 1: in their 40s and 50s who are conceiving. We have
- 3:34Speaker 1: Anne Hathways and Beyonce's of the world who have conceived
- 3:38Speaker 1: late in their life, late in their careers and not
- 3:41Speaker 1: all through IVF. I'm not talking about those who had
- 3:44Speaker 1: twins and triplets. I'm talking about people who conceive naturally.
- 3:47Speaker 1: So how can both these realities exist?
- 3:52Speaker 2: Prognosis of being able to conceive naturally does not depend
- 3:58Speaker 2: on doctor, IVF clinics. They talk about patient profile. The
- 4:04Speaker 2: people who are conceiving, how strictly they were following their
- 4:10Speaker 2: diet for the last 10 years. They didn't take any toxin.
- 4:14Speaker 2: They were not smoking. They were actually doing everything medical
- 4:19Speaker 2: evidence-based to retain their fertility. So, you can't align yourself
- 4:26Speaker 2: with a woman who lives in a village. Who was
- 4:30Speaker 2: good in late pregnancies. Obviously, in late pregnancies, in anomaly scan, earlier,
- 4:37Speaker 2: in 1000, one anomaly scan used to be bad. Today,
- 4:41Speaker 2: in 1000, it has become 100. Really? The NTNB scan,
- 4:47Speaker 2: nasal bone, and a lot of cases at this time,
- 4:50Speaker 2: the fetal medicine experts, The doctors are in our panel
- 4:53Speaker 2: as well as in our team. I mean, haywire it's going.
- 4:57Speaker 2: What is happening? It's all because of the air, first
- 5:01Speaker 2: of all. Because the breathing we are doing, obviously that
- 5:04Speaker 2: is affecting our embryo also. When you are getting pregnant
- 5:09Speaker 2: and everything. And obviously associated factors are also there with it.
- 5:12Speaker 2: So it's not just the clinics, not just the doctor.
- 5:15Speaker 2: It's the patient profile that creates the success to fertility
- 5:20Speaker 2: or success of conceiving. Naturally or ART, artificial technology wise,
- 5:26Speaker 2: or assisted reproductive technique, it's different. But everything aligns with
- 5:31Speaker 2: patient profile. Patient is very obese, insulin resistance is bad.
- 5:35Speaker 2: From where will you conceive? What will you do to
- 5:38Speaker 2: fix insulin resistance? Obviously, conception is not possible. So, fecundability
- 5:44Speaker 2: will drop down somewhere. Able to conception will drop down. So,
- 5:50Speaker 2: you You are taking the name of big people. We
- 5:53Speaker 2: can't compare them to general people. They come in 0.0001
- 5:57Speaker 2: in the population. We are general people. We take so
- 6:02Speaker 2: much stress in filling EMI. And after that you can't
- 6:04Speaker 2: say a female that you take a lot of stress.
- 6:06Speaker 2: That's why you are not able to conceive. It would
- 6:08Speaker 2: be very unfair to. Obviously, like we have a lot
- 6:12Speaker 2: of ambitions. By the way, anyone can have ambitions. Human
- 6:16Speaker 2: being as a race. So, following ambitions versus taking stress
- 6:19Speaker 2: versus not being able to conceive, there is no connection
- 6:23Speaker 2: between all these. It's just that how is your profile,
- 6:27Speaker 2: how you are living, how actively you are participating to
- 6:31Speaker 2: your mental well-being.
- 6:33Speaker 1: I am taking away a very strong point from what
- 6:35Speaker 1: you have just said. You are saying that infertility today
- 6:39Speaker 1: is not a problem in metros alone. It is not
- 6:43Speaker 1: a problem in tier 2 cities also. It is also
- 6:46Speaker 1: a problem in rural India. You're saying that's how deep
- 6:49Speaker 1: the problem of infertility has gone.
- 6:52Speaker 2: Indeed, the amount of nutrition in eating adulteration, the amount
- 6:55Speaker 2: of our activities, the amount of our maida or any
- 6:59Speaker 2: other thing finely processed. It would have been fine if
- 7:02Speaker 2: it was wheat. The amount of consumption has increased. The
- 7:05Speaker 2: trend that's going on, to take anything in excess and
- 7:09Speaker 2: blast it, that's wrong. So, it's deep down at every level.
- 7:13Speaker 2: You'll find a dominoes at every baliya behraich of Uttar Pradesh.
- 7:19Speaker 2: You are getting that. So accessibility has increased so much.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Processed food's immediate decision is taken. You don't have to go.
- 7:28Speaker 1: And you get it.
- 7:29Speaker 2: These things cover your overall cell so much that that
- 7:34Speaker 2: poor cell can't breathe. So metabolic dysfunctions are there. So
- 7:38Speaker 2: metabolic dysfunctions, whether you call it metros, whether you call
- 7:41Speaker 2: it rural India, whether you call it urban societies, it's
- 7:45Speaker 2: the same for all. Our fertility camps and all those
- 7:48Speaker 2: small IVF clinics. Camps are most used in rural areas.
- 7:53Speaker 2: So they are getting patients out of there. And they
- 7:55Speaker 2: are very innocent people. They will sell their land and
- 7:58Speaker 2: get you IVF. Because you are giving them a hope.
- 8:00Speaker 2: That it will be done. Those who haven't had IVF
- 8:03Speaker 2: for 4 years. You are giving them hope. It will
- 8:06Speaker 2: be done. Oh, even after that failure comes. So a
- 8:08Speaker 2: person spends everything. I don't think so that that should
- 8:11Speaker 2: be the only way. Doctor. Before any operation, any doctor
- 8:14Speaker 2: tries to treat you with medicine. After that, someone talks
- 8:18Speaker 2: about putting a needle or a needle. But this thing, unfortunately,
- 8:23Speaker 2: such a beautiful IVF process and all that, we used
- 8:27Speaker 2: to take the last option. Today, the first option has
- 8:29Speaker 2: been made. That should not happen. According to me, to
- 8:32Speaker 2: the best of my knowledge, I am telling. I have
- 8:34Speaker 2: a team of gynecologists. I have a team of fetal medicine,
- 8:37Speaker 2: interventional radiologists. Everyone is in our team. Dermatologists, everyone is
- 8:41Speaker 2: with us. In our multidisciplinary protocols, everyone is there. But
- 8:45Speaker 2: we all practice one thing. For a person who has
- 8:48Speaker 2: been so easy, that he has approached us, then he
- 8:51Speaker 2: is not diseased. IVF, infertility is not a disease-disease part.
- 8:57Speaker 2: It's a disorder. We just have to get it in order.
- 9:01Speaker 2: Our work is just this much. If we do everything well,
- 9:04Speaker 2: it comes. We get very good results without IVF.
- 9:07Speaker 1: That's quite nice. I like how disease is not there.
- 9:11Speaker 1: It's a disorder which has to be put into order again.
- 9:14Speaker 1: I like that. But, okay, help me understand this. If
- 9:17Speaker 1: infertility is going up, what are the five reasons for it?
- 9:22Speaker 2: We will talk about five different reasons. First of all,
- 9:24Speaker 2: it's mental health. It all starts from your brain. From
- 9:29Speaker 2: brain to hypothalamus, hypothalamus to your gland level. So, it
- 9:34Speaker 2: all starts from your brain. If your mental evaluation is
- 9:38Speaker 2: good in your brain, with your partner, obviously there are
- 9:41Speaker 2: two people who are making a baby. If your orientation
- 9:45Speaker 2: with your partner, be it intimacy orientation, be it personal
- 9:52Speaker 2: mental well-being, how many pylons are running in the background
- 9:56Speaker 2: and how happy you are with each other. This is
- 9:57Speaker 2: a very big factor. It's like that.
- 10:09Speaker 1: The brain is controlling that.
- 10:11Speaker 2: The brain is controlling the pituitary axis. It's all about
- 10:14Speaker 2: brain pituitary axis. And from there, your growth hormones will
- 10:18Speaker 2: come out. The luteinizing hormone, the follicle stimulating hormone. Everything
- 10:22Speaker 2: comes out from the pituitary. And who connects the pituitary? Hypothalamus. So,
- 10:26Speaker 2: it all starts here. And the disruption that it creates first,
- 10:33Speaker 2: and from there only, when disruption is created, then sperm
- 10:37Speaker 2: health also goes. Female's egg fertility, oocyte count, and all
- 10:43Speaker 2: that too. Because female on a whole is born with
- 10:48Speaker 2: certain number of eggs only. It goes in declining phase,
- 10:50Speaker 2: it goes in sliding scale. It's not like that with males.
- 10:55Speaker 2: With males, it's stagnant. Obviously, it happens up and down,
- 10:58Speaker 2: but fertility, sperm health, it's not seen to be dead.
- 11:03Speaker 2: So it's all brain first, then hormonal, Because the pituitary
- 11:07Speaker 2: came from the brain. Pituitary released hormones. Follicles were formed
- 11:11Speaker 2: and sperm health came. After that comes your endothelial functions.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Endothelial functions means tissue level. How much elasticity is there?
- 11:22Speaker 2: Reproductive organ on a whole. And after that comes how
- 11:26Speaker 2: are the stimulations? Are there orgasm levels or not? When
- 11:29Speaker 2: you bring all these things, then your fertility or intimate
- 11:34Speaker 2: life is formed. Simple logic is that if intimate life
- 11:37Speaker 2: is going well, then fertility comes after a jug. It's
- 11:41Speaker 2: that kind of an approach. So, five factors, no, we
- 11:45Speaker 2: will say, there are many factors. Clinician decides, patient to
- 11:50Speaker 2: patient depends. If I say something and people start following,
- 11:53Speaker 2: not that kind. Understand your anatomy.
- 11:57Speaker 1: No, so you said earlier in the podcast that air
- 11:59Speaker 1: pollution is a factor for infertility.
- 12:02Speaker 2: Indeed.
- 12:02Speaker 1: You said obesity is a factor for infertility. You said
- 12:06Speaker 1: bad lifestyle and eating disorders are a factor for infertility.
- 12:10Speaker 1: And now you're saying mental health is one of them
- 12:12Speaker 1: as well. I've already got four. I'm trying to figure out,
- 12:15Speaker 1: is there something else that people need to, that you're
- 12:18Speaker 1: seeing as a rising factor of infertility in India today?
- 12:21Speaker 2: Basically, I won't say saturated, but hindered intimacy. Hindered intimacy
- 12:31Speaker 2: means that our orientation has shifted. We are not able
- 12:37Speaker 2: to balance work-life. If we go to the part of Gita, Dharma, Earth, Kaam, Moksha.
- 12:45Speaker 2: The Kaam part is also written there. So ultimately you
- 12:48Speaker 2: have to attain that level. That work-life balance is not there.
- 12:53Speaker 2: A person is doing Dharma, earning money, Earth is very good.
- 12:56Speaker 2: But he is only earning money. In that orientation, car, house,
- 13:01Speaker 2: more than all this, there is no more family health.
- 13:05Speaker 2: He feels that if I take that term plan and that,
- 13:10Speaker 2: health insurance, then our health will be made from that.
- 13:12Speaker 2: It is not made only from that. Obviously, that is
- 13:15Speaker 2: a factor. Economy is increasing, prices are increasing. But how
- 13:18Speaker 2: much time are you giving internally with your children, with
- 13:21Speaker 2: your wife, with your parents, what is your orientation? So,
- 13:25Speaker 2: orientation shift has a very big role play.
- 13:27Speaker 1: So it's all down to the basics.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Down to the basics. And we are coming down to
- 13:31Speaker 2: the basics. You can see that in everything.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:34Speaker 2: It's important. If the mental health is good, I feel,
- 13:38Speaker 2: and I don't feel, to the best of my clinical knowledge,
- 13:41Speaker 2: all the patients who are coming, we will be the
- 13:45Speaker 2: fewest who do IVF. We have the least IVF in
- 13:47Speaker 2: the entire city. Just because our focus has been going
- 13:51Speaker 2: on for 100 years. We are treating fertility from the
- 13:53Speaker 2: end of my great-grandfather. or assisting or helping. So, it's
- 14:00Speaker 2: not about treating everywhere. It's just about guiding these people
- 14:04Speaker 2: to do one thing, go on a vacation and things
- 14:06Speaker 2: will go fine.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Now you're sounding like my aunt who says, go take
- 14:12Speaker 1: a leave, everything will be fine.
- 14:15Speaker 2: It is.
- 14:15Speaker 1: You know, leave your work, everything will be fine.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Medically, we assess everything and when an unexplained infertility comes,
- 14:22Speaker 2: then believe in yourself.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Okay, then let me ask you a more... sort of
- 14:27Speaker 1: logical question that comes next. How do I know that
- 14:34Speaker 1: my infertility is because of something internal or something medical?
- 14:40Speaker 1: My question is, how do I know that I have
- 14:43Speaker 1: to seek medical intervention now? What is the point? Whom
- 14:48Speaker 1: do you say to take IVF? Whom do you say
- 14:49Speaker 1: not to take?
- 14:50Speaker 2: Okay. So it all comes in the females. First we
- 14:55Speaker 2: come to females. It's about an oocyte reserve. That we
- 14:58Speaker 2: are born with a certain set of eggs. We are
- 15:02Speaker 2: born with oocytes. That is the declining phase. It happens
- 15:05Speaker 2: in millions. And we utilize 400, 300, 400. We do
- 15:11Speaker 2: it in a lifetime of females. In the whole axis,
- 15:16Speaker 2: one is anti-mullerian hormone. An AMH test. It's a very
- 15:21Speaker 2: basic 400-500 rupee test. At this level, we can analyze
- 15:28Speaker 2: your oocyte health. I am talking about females. And if
- 15:33Speaker 2: your AMH is low, then you should definitely see a
- 15:38Speaker 2: fertility expert. By doing food changes at home, by just exercising,
- 15:43Speaker 2: nothing is going to happen.
- 15:45Speaker 1: This can also happen to them who are leading a
- 15:47Speaker 1: very healthy lifestyle.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Definitely it can happen.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Your.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Your eggs are healthy by looking healthy. They have nothing
- 15:56Speaker 2: to do with each other. These are not directly proportional
- 15:59Speaker 2: to each other. Inversely, these two. It can happen, it
- 16:02Speaker 2: can not happen. A simple sperm test in males will
- 16:09Speaker 2: solve the purpose. Don't go on testosterone. Testosterone has become
- 16:13Speaker 2: a very overrated hormone in this world. And gym people
- 16:17Speaker 2: are tracking it. All doctors are tracking it.
- 16:20Speaker 1: No.
- 16:21Speaker 2: They are different from everyone. And throughout their life, some
- 16:24Speaker 2: of them are lower. You can't help it. It's all
- 16:29Speaker 2: personality based. What is their orientation, what is their muscle health.
- 16:33Speaker 2: And a lot of people whose hands and feet are thin,
- 16:35Speaker 2: they are in the family but they are on the belly.
- 16:38Speaker 2: If their muscles are less, then testosterone is down. I
- 16:42Speaker 2: have seen it. It was a very distinctive feature. that
- 16:46Speaker 2: those people whose family health is going on like that, lean, lean, lean,
- 16:50Speaker 2: they are less. Those who have a lot of muscle,
- 16:52Speaker 2: their testosterone is more. Okay.
- 16:54Speaker 1: But you're saying testosterone levels are not a factor?
- 16:57Speaker 2: Not only the factor, madam. Not only the factor. At
- 17:01Speaker 2: the clinical end, there are a lot of things. The
- 17:03Speaker 2: patient has come in front of us. We understand a
- 17:05Speaker 2: lot of things by looking at it. This may be
- 17:07Speaker 2: the factor. So, this thing is sperm health. And on
- 17:10Speaker 2: top of that, chromosomes. Because female's egg, The acceptance and
- 17:18Speaker 2: the sperm DNA fragmentation is a little higher. But if
- 17:22Speaker 2: you are living a general lifestyle and planning for fertility,
- 17:26Speaker 2: just go to a gynecologist. She will give you an
- 17:29Speaker 2: AMH and give you a sperm test. All this is good.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Go and give time to yourself. anxiety which you get,
- 17:38Speaker 2: that you have given a target, that go and this
- 17:41Speaker 2: is your window, and this you have to do. Prescription,
- 17:44Speaker 2: it cannot be a prescription based thing. Because men is
- 17:47Speaker 2: a giver part, that guy is living in anxiety. Today
- 17:50Speaker 2: I have to go and I have to perform. No.
- 17:53Speaker 2: It's just that, leave free hand. And at least, some
- 17:57Speaker 2: people have one year studies, that if not for one year,
- 17:59Speaker 2: then we will call it infertility. Some call it six months,
- 18:03Speaker 2: some call it three months. Some studies have come that
- 18:08Speaker 2: come immediately. We will do ART because it's getting late.
- 18:12Speaker 2: It's an urgency. It's a medical emergency. No. The medical
- 18:17Speaker 2: phrase of what if should not be used. What if?
- 18:20Speaker 1: So get your basic test done. Both men and women.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Both women. It's a couple thing.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Because a lot of times the onus of bearing a
- 18:27Speaker 1: child is only on the woman. Nobody even pauses to
- 18:31Speaker 1: question or even understand that there could be a factor
- 18:35Speaker 1: which is coming from the man as well. And I'm
- 18:38Speaker 1: sure in Lucknow, you'll find a lot of cases like this.
- 18:41Speaker 1: Where the entire onus of bearing a child and bearing
- 18:44Speaker 1: a male child on top of it is completely.
- 18:46Speaker 2: On the woman. In the family, all the people come.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Two come, mother-in-law, father-in-law, and two come, mother-in-law, father-in-law, and
- 18:51Speaker 2: two come, husband-wife.
- 18:53Speaker 1: For a consult?
- 18:54Speaker 2: Yes. They stand around the female. Sir, look at this,
- 18:57Speaker 2: look at this. We have all the sides, you tell me.
- 19:01Speaker 2: The male person who is standing there. You're serious. Sir,
- 19:03Speaker 2: I'm absolutely fine. Yes. A group of people come and
- 19:07Speaker 2: everyone needs to know if this is going to happen
- 19:09Speaker 2: or not. And this is pre-marital also. People come even
- 19:15Speaker 2: after engagement. Which is a good thing. I would call
- 19:18Speaker 2: it a good thing that you know everything about yourself.
- 19:22Speaker 1: What would they want to know even before marriage?
- 19:25Speaker 2: There are multiple cases which are PCOM and PCOS and
- 19:30Speaker 2: many other dysfunctional things. So people are very worried if
- 19:37Speaker 2: their fertility, fertile health will be good or not. People
- 19:41Speaker 2: are very worried that baby bearing capacity and all that
- 19:48Speaker 2: and all the reels people are seeing, I'm very worried
- 19:42Speaker 2: by what you're saying. You are effectively saying that women
- 19:46Speaker 2: before marriage are being brought to fertility clinics to check
- 19:49Speaker 2: if they're fertile. And that will become the basis of
- 19:53Speaker 2: whether or not the marriage happens. Not the basis. This
- 20:10Speaker 2: decision is taken by the husband and wife after engagement.
- 20:15Speaker 2: To be husband and wife, they are taking it on
- 20:18Speaker 2: their own. When it is limited to these two, let's
- 20:20Speaker 2: get a fertile test done, let's check the compatibility, what
- 20:24Speaker 2: is it, what is not. It is fine till there.
- 20:27Speaker 1: I thought thalassemia is checked. Because, yeah.
- 20:31Speaker 2: Thalassemia check. It's just like, I'm English.
- 20:34Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 20:35Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's there. But that's a very small thing now.
- 20:41Speaker 2: But fertility, all together, connect, all this is being checked.
- 20:46Speaker 2: And we give very simple protocols for it. So I said,
- 20:49Speaker 2: if the whole family is involved, that's a little draining
- 20:53Speaker 2: process for both of them. When the husband and wife
- 20:55Speaker 2: are doing it, it's their own decision and they can
- 20:58Speaker 2: do it. I think so.
- 21:00Speaker 1: No, no, roll back a little bit. I want to
- 21:01Speaker 1: know more about what is it that people are coming
- 21:04Speaker 1: and finding out before marriage about their fertility?
- 21:07Speaker 2: Madam, actually, we have started taking our passion-driven life so
- 21:14Speaker 2: seriously that we have lived that lifestyle that we don't
- 21:19Speaker 2: know what to eat, night shift or abuse, drug abuse.
- 21:24Speaker 2: And smoke abuse. And all this has come in general lifestyle.
- 21:29Speaker 2: It's accessible to everyone. After doing so much work, you
- 21:34Speaker 2: feel that I won't be absolutely fine. I have taken
- 21:39Speaker 2: 25 cigarettes a day. I am not sure if my
- 21:42Speaker 2: sperm will be alive. This is the verdict that people
- 21:45Speaker 2: tell me on my OPD table. I said, it won't happen.
- 21:49Speaker 2: Don't worry. It's a long process for sperm. Because the
- 21:52Speaker 2: cases of azoospermia are increasing. Estenu azoospermia case. Nil sperm count. Nothing. Zero.
- 22:00Speaker 2: Plain reports. These cases are increasing.
- 22:03Speaker 1: In what kind of people? Who are taking a lot of.
- 22:07Speaker 2: Who have.
- 22:08Speaker 1: Sort of injecting themselves in the gym or otherwise?
- 22:11Speaker 2: Both. The PCTs, the cycles, the steroid abuse... The weed abuse.
- 22:18Speaker 2: The alcohol abuse. We haven't seen that much. Because there
- 22:23Speaker 2: are not many researches on it. But overall. Those people
- 22:28Speaker 2: who have a life. Meaning a life full of life.
- 22:31Speaker 2: And it will be an unhealthy life. Obviously. So they
- 22:37Speaker 2: are worried. Because they know I have done wrong to me.
- 22:41Speaker 2: And what if. I don't want to waste his life
- 22:45Speaker 2: or that kind of an approach. It's a very emotional part.
- 22:49Speaker 2: This is not very smart. It's a good thing.
- 22:52Speaker 1: So if a man comes to you, a marriageable age,
- 22:55Speaker 1: and tells you that my sperm count is nil, are
- 22:59Speaker 1: you saying that there are ways available that they can
- 23:01Speaker 1: still sort of go back and have a healthy count,
- 23:05Speaker 1: healthy enough to bear a child?
- 23:07Speaker 2: Where nil comes, there are two factors. Either it can
- 23:11Speaker 2: be congenital, that since birth, it is nil. There is
- 23:14Speaker 2: no testicular function, no lytic cell, no Sertoli cell, nothing.
- 23:18Speaker 2: It is confirmed by doing testicular biopsy. One is acquired.
- 23:25Speaker 2: One is congenital, one is acquired. So, 100 cases of Aestheno-Azuspermia,
- 23:30Speaker 2: out of which only 5 are congenital. 95% are acquired.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Due to lifestyle disorder. Hmm. Either there are blockages, or
- 23:41Speaker 2: there is a lumen disorder, or the endothelial function is bad,
- 23:44Speaker 2: or there is an absent organ, or things are different,
- 23:49Speaker 2: or there is shrinking, or there is turtling. There are
- 23:51Speaker 2: 50 types of things. So, all those factors are analyzed
- 23:55Speaker 2: at the clinical end. But, as soon as doctors come
- 23:59Speaker 2: in today's date and write that nothing can be done.
- 24:01Speaker 2: I have a lot of cases of AIMS. I did
- 24:03Speaker 2: a lot of treatment in AIMS, nothing happened. whereas it
- 24:07Speaker 2: is acquired. That is not congenital, that is acquired.
- 24:11Speaker 1: You're saying it's reversible?
- 24:13Speaker 2: It's actually reversible. And we are publishing through tissue regenerative therapies, ATRDs,
- 24:23Speaker 2: pelvic floor rehabilitation therapies.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Explain this a little by simplifying it.
- 24:26Speaker 2: All of your, as much as you talk about your
- 24:32Speaker 2: sperm production, it's all end, to the tailbone, the coccyx area.
- 24:39Speaker 2: From there, there are so many nerve endings that they
- 24:42Speaker 2: supply your reproductive organ for the stimulation. It's basically the
- 24:49Speaker 2: communication to your testicular health and everything. Now, where functional,
- 24:57Speaker 2: that if you want to go up from the testes
- 25:00Speaker 2: and go to the reserve, there is a whole track.
- 25:04Speaker 2: In those tracks, there is some obstruction somewhere. Somewhere, like
- 25:08Speaker 2: tubal blockages, you must have heard in females. Similarly, in males,
- 25:13Speaker 2: whatever blockages are coming, to assess them together, I mean,
- 25:17Speaker 2: there are Doppler studies, Penile Dopplers, Scrotal Ultrasounds, all these
- 25:22Speaker 2: are varicose seals. The biggest reason is varicose seal. Varicose seal,
- 25:27Speaker 2: it has become a hole and it's trapped. Blood flow
- 25:30Speaker 2: went to testes, it could not come back. So it's
- 25:34Speaker 2: a pelvic floor disorder, not a disease or a syndrome
- 25:38Speaker 2: or a problem that cannot be reversed. So we focus
- 25:42Speaker 2: on ATRTs first and then go to ART. And where
- 25:48Speaker 2: actually it's congenital, biopsy is also negative, ATRT is also negative,
- 25:52Speaker 2: then the decision is taken to do IVF with donor sperm.
- 25:55Speaker 2: We are getting to retrieve the egg at least. And
- 26:00Speaker 2: to do IUIs is the most important. Aasaan raasta IUIs
- 26:02Speaker 2: hai usme. IUI is just taking the sperm from the
- 26:06Speaker 2: sperm bank, getting it treated, clean, wash, sab karte hain.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Aur uske baad mein ek poori tube rahiti hai, jo
- 26:14Speaker 2: ki cervix tak jaati hai, bachche dhani tak. We insert
- 26:17Speaker 2: that with an assisted ultrasound ke saath mein. Aur uske
- 26:22Speaker 2: baad inject the sperm. After the fertile window is fine,
- 26:26Speaker 2: the conception is done. That's an easier process. So, we
- 26:30Speaker 2: first put IUI to ATRTs, rehabilitation therapies, tissue regenerative therapies.
- 26:35Speaker 2: After that, we put IUIs. After that, IVF comes. It's
- 26:38Speaker 2: a draining process. And so many hormonal injections, so many progesterones,
- 26:42Speaker 2: so many things disrupt the mental health of a female.
- 26:46Speaker 2: I mean, depression, postpartum depression, they don't have normal depression.
- 26:51Speaker 2: It's such a depression that I don't know what's happening
- 26:55Speaker 2: to them. And then they are on antipsychotics, this and that. So,
- 26:59Speaker 2: It's a vicious circle that is there. I am running
- 27:02Speaker 2: an IVF center since like 10 years now. So all
- 27:05Speaker 2: the cases we are seeing in 10 years, all the
- 27:07Speaker 2: cases we discuss with our ma'am, all the cases we
- 27:09Speaker 2: discuss with our gynecologist, all of them do the same thing.
- 27:13Speaker 2: The main thing is unexplained infertility. And there are no
- 27:17Speaker 2: bigger ways than rehabilitation to solve unexplained infertility. We take
- 27:21Speaker 2: psychology support. I leave a psychologist behind. Talk to these people.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Every now and then, talk to these people.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Unexplained infertility.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Ultrasounds, on the level of females, they do TVS, transvaginal scans,
- 27:36Speaker 2: egg studies, scans on day 2. All these are normal. Childbirth, normal. Uterus, normal. Menses,
- 27:48Speaker 2: the duration of the cycles, normal. Sometimes we take blood samples,
- 27:52Speaker 2: period blood samples, and assess that, normal. Everything is normal
- 27:56Speaker 2: on the female side. AMH normal. Male, sperm health is fine.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Everything is fine. This is called unexplained infertility. Even then,
- 28:05Speaker 2: the baby is not coming. It's been 5 years. So,
- 28:08Speaker 2: this is unexplained infertility. Here, what is the role of
- 28:12Speaker 2: tissue regeneration? That we talked about male and female's intimate life.
- 28:16Speaker 2: We talked about their orgasm levels. Has it ever come? No, sir. Never.
- 28:21Speaker 2: I didn't feel it. What happens? I don't know. I
- 28:24Speaker 2: belong from a very confined family and I don't know
- 28:27Speaker 2: what it is. When we work on that, on their
- 28:29Speaker 2: mental health, we educate them. This is what you can do.
- 28:33Speaker 2: This is what you can try. This is what you
- 28:35Speaker 2: can start taking berries. Start drinking cranberries. And that kind
- 28:38Speaker 2: of an approach is. So, basically, the cell has to
- 28:41Speaker 2: give oxygen. And that thing happens. The conception is done. So,
- 28:46Speaker 2: regenerative therapies are very important in the case of unexplained infertility.
- 28:50Speaker 2: Just going towards the IVF is not the only way out.
- 28:54Speaker 2: That's what I think.
- 28:55Speaker 1: How many of these patients in your clinic anecdotally are
- 28:59Speaker 1: coming with unexplained infertility?
- 29:03Speaker 2: Majorly. Majorly because 2-3 IVF cycles have been done because
- 29:08Speaker 2: within 500 meters of my clinic 2-3 corporates are sitting.
- 29:12Speaker 2: They have big centers.
- 29:14Speaker 1: Okay.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Trust is also big. Trust of big centers is also big.
- 29:18Speaker 2: 2-3 cycles fail and come to me. I haven't seen
- 29:20Speaker 2: the first cycle generally. That first option is No, we
- 29:24Speaker 2: will do it in big centers. After that, we are
- 29:27Speaker 2: small doctors, so we are taken to the second option. So, okay,
- 29:29Speaker 2: when things come after failed IVFs and all that, and
- 29:35Speaker 2: when we look at the full analysis and the summaries
- 29:39Speaker 2: of their case, we don't see any abnormality in that.
- 29:42Speaker 2: Sperm is perfect, AMH is perfect. Where was the problem?
- 29:45Speaker 2: Why did they do IVF? No, sir, they just did IVF.
- 29:48Speaker 2: Because they said there may be a problem. What if?
- 29:52Speaker 2: The question is, what if? If the egg is also gone,
- 29:55Speaker 2: then all those cases come in that order. And there
- 29:59Speaker 2: are many such cases. Obviously, gynecologists can treat that well.
- 30:02Speaker 2: A better urologist or andrologist or gynecologist knows better than me. So,
- 30:06Speaker 2: where there are tubal blockages, where there is endometriosis, where
- 30:11Speaker 2: there are gout in the uterus, there, actually, people get help.
- 30:16Speaker 2: And these people are wonderful at it. The gynecologists and
- 30:19Speaker 2: good people are there who are treating this endometriosis. There
- 30:23Speaker 2: is one very good who is doing good work online. So,
- 30:26Speaker 2: he is a very good doctor. Tubal blockages are not
- 30:28Speaker 2: normally treated like this. You can't exercise and open a tube.
- 30:32Speaker 2: You need a laparoscopic surgeon for that reason. So these
- 30:35Speaker 2: are small things. But whether it is necessary or not,
- 30:38Speaker 2: the question mark comes there. Who is going to decide
- 30:42Speaker 2: what is needed? So those small aspects are their real assessment,
- 30:48Speaker 2: their real education that these are the options that we
- 30:52Speaker 2: can go ahead. IVF is not the only one. When
- 30:55Speaker 2: we tell these people beautifully, without any intentions of doing
- 30:59Speaker 2: an IVF, then everything relaxes them. They say, there is
- 31:03Speaker 2: an option of IVF, why don't we try it naturally?
- 31:05Speaker 2: When you are not afraid of failure, the fun of
- 31:09Speaker 2: success is something else. It's a simple logic. We never
- 31:12Speaker 2: give pressure. That is an approach altogether.
- 31:16Speaker 1: This pressure of making a baby, I think women understand.
- 31:19Speaker 2: It far too much. Women, I mean, okay, me being
- 31:23Speaker 2: a male, I have a maximum video of males. So,
- 31:27Speaker 2: I know the side of males, they are very worried.
- 31:29Speaker 2: They don't want to go home. Some go on trips,
- 31:31Speaker 2: by telling business trip, that I will only stay outside.
- 31:35Speaker 2: My work from home was there, no, now my work
- 31:37Speaker 2: from office is there. Why?
- 31:39Speaker 1: Because they want to escape the pressure of making a baby.
- 31:43Speaker 2: And for them too, failure is a very shameful thing.
- 31:46Speaker 2: It's not that you are failing or you thought so
- 31:48Speaker 2: much in pressure and at that time, You are failing.
- 31:52Speaker 2: You are not feeling of that thing. And constantly you
- 31:55Speaker 2: are getting a pressure that doctor said this is the
- 31:57Speaker 2: fertile window, this is it. So after the fight, how
- 32:00Speaker 2: will anything happen? So that's the thing. These people are escaping.
- 32:03Speaker 2: So there are truck drivers. They are not going. Let
- 32:07Speaker 2: me tell you the office-office thing. The people are living outside.
- 32:12Speaker 2: The format of escapism is due to the pressure on
- 32:16Speaker 2: the male. It is on the female. Obviously, it is
- 32:19Speaker 2: a social pressure. But the internal pressure is obviously on
- 32:23Speaker 2: the male side. And people are very drained at this
- 32:26Speaker 2: point of time. So pressure should not be given.
- 32:29Speaker 1: I hope parents are listening to this more than anybody else.
- 32:33Speaker 1: But I think I get what you're saying. I think
- 32:35Speaker 1: there is an inherent pressure on the woman. What I'm
- 32:38Speaker 1: understanding from you is that there is also a lot
- 32:41Speaker 1: of pressure on the man. And I think we need
- 32:43Speaker 1: to understand that. And as long as the conversation on
- 32:46Speaker 1: fertility is limited to the couple, I think they'll do better.
- 32:49Speaker 1: And as long as the decision of making a baby
- 32:51Speaker 1: is on the couple, is theirs, truly owned by them,
- 32:54Speaker 1: I think that's when it will also go.
- 32:56Speaker 2: Perception is made. If infertility is there, then only female,
- 32:59Speaker 2: only gynecologist. Perception. There was no doctor for male reproductive
- 33:05Speaker 2: health till now. Okay, urologists have started paying attention to
- 33:08Speaker 2: andrology and all this. But there was no one. Prasooti
- 33:11Speaker 2: Rokh Vivaagi was there till now. So, the thing is
- 33:14Speaker 2: that the perception was always the same. That perception has
- 33:16Speaker 2: to change. For infertility, the female is not treated, the
- 33:19Speaker 2: couple is treated. Yeah.
- 33:22Speaker 1: I think the family is also treated.
- 33:28Speaker 2: Alright.
- 33:28Speaker 1: They are your customers, so you are not saying anything
- 33:30Speaker 1: to them. They are paying the bill.
- 33:33Speaker 2: Yes. Everyone plays their own role. And it's very important
- 33:38Speaker 2: to leave it easy. What has to happen, will happen.
- 33:41Speaker 2: And doctors are good, honest, experienced. So doctors do it.
- 33:47Speaker 2: I have seen very good doctors who do it and
- 33:49Speaker 2: there is no break in them.
- 33:51Speaker 1: First, since we are talking about family, I will ask
- 33:53Speaker 1: a family question. Is age a factor for infertility? Women
- 33:58Speaker 1: are constantly told that you are 30. Now you are
- 34:02Speaker 1: past your window. Quickly make a baby. And if you
- 34:04Speaker 1: want to make two babies, then ensure that it's happening
- 34:07Speaker 1: at a gap of like two years. Otherwise, you know what? Otherwise,
- 34:10Speaker 1: you'll keep going around IVF clinics. Is age a factor?
- 34:15Speaker 2: First of all, the point you made about two years,
- 34:17Speaker 2: it should never happen. It's a risk to the female health.
- 34:20Speaker 2: Not two years. Minimum three years. We all say, gynecologists say,
- 34:24Speaker 2: take a gap of minimum three years. Your organs, poor people,
- 34:30Speaker 2: get depressed, get worried, it takes time for them to retain.
- 34:34Speaker 2: And moreover, these rectus, these abdominus muscles, to regenerate this too,
- 34:39Speaker 2: it spreads completely. It also takes time to come back. So, obviously,
- 34:43Speaker 2: the whole body changes, everything changes, so at least 3 years,
- 34:48Speaker 2: 1 year, I won't call it torture, but 1 year,
- 34:51Speaker 2: if you have used that thing so much, then at
- 34:55Speaker 2: least after 1 year, give it 2 years, minimum. So,
- 34:59Speaker 2: we will do that for 3 years. So, that thing
- 35:01Speaker 2: is very important. And second, age as an factor. So,
- 35:06Speaker 2: yes madam, age is a factor. It's definitely a factor.
- 35:11Speaker 2: If we consider European studies as the most important in fertility.
- 35:17Speaker 2: UK is important for us. We follow their case studies
- 35:21Speaker 2: and their European system. After 30, we say 50% fertility Drops.
- 35:29Speaker 2: After 30. So they are fighting more than us at
- 35:34Speaker 2: this time. With this problem. It's factors I don't know.
- 35:39Speaker 2: Air will be very good there too. But still. It
- 35:44Speaker 2: is this thing. Because as I said earlier. It's a
- 35:47Speaker 2: sliding scale. The oocyte production. And after that. Their chromosomal defect.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Because there are oocytes. Oocytes are made up of chromosomes. Gradually,
- 36:01Speaker 2: oocytes are depleting.
- 36:03Speaker 1: You mean the eggs.
- 36:04Speaker 2: The eggs. Sorry, the eggs. The number of eggs in
- 36:08Speaker 2: a female is the same. When we had a conception
- 36:11Speaker 2: in millions, then it gradually fell down to 400-500. We
- 36:13Speaker 2: will be able to utilize it in a lifetime. So
- 36:17Speaker 2: that thing, after that, it's okay. The egg will remain.
- 36:21Speaker 2: The quality of the egg keeps falling. What does equality mean?
- 36:28Speaker 2: Its chromosomal resistance defects. Now, these chromosomal defects play a
- 36:34Speaker 2: very big role in your miscarriages. So, after age, the
- 36:38Speaker 2: chances of miscarriages have increased. And trust me, miscarriage is
- 36:45Speaker 2: not an easy job. Keeping someone in the womb for
- 36:50Speaker 2: 3 months, and miscarriage after 3-4 months, that in itself,
- 36:53Speaker 2: for a.
- 36:54Speaker 1: Female, It's a trauma women don't forget.
- 37:00Speaker 2: It's a trauma that women are... And they will have
- 37:04Speaker 2: to live forever. They will always remember. That trauma... I
- 37:08Speaker 2: have seen a lot of patients... Who have gone through depression.
- 37:10Speaker 2: And the second time... Fertility didn't happen. Antidepressants said... Obesity came.
- 37:16Speaker 2: After obesity... There was no child. Trauma. Problem was not
- 37:21Speaker 2: with them. Trauma was there. So early conception... is way, way,
- 37:27Speaker 2: way more better than waiting for that vicious circle to happen.
- 37:33Speaker 2: Because it's draining, it's traumatic. And as far as ambitions
- 37:37Speaker 2: are concerned, people say, okay, we'll have a baby, then
- 37:39Speaker 2: after that, our ambitions will go away. It doesn't happen
- 37:42Speaker 2: like that. It's about, it's a mindset. That now it's
- 37:45Speaker 2: a young age, and after having a baby, this body
- 37:47Speaker 2: becomes weak. It's not like that. Now, regarding protein and
- 37:50Speaker 2: all these things, regarding workout, regarding female workout, people are,
- 37:54Speaker 2: Dadis are working out at 60s and it's good.
- 37:57Speaker 1: Is there an ideal age for women to conceive and
- 38:02Speaker 1: for men to conceive as well?
- 38:04Speaker 2: Men's DNA fragmentation is also bad. If we go to 45,
- 38:09Speaker 2: 45 plus, 42, 45 plus, we will do their sperm test,
- 38:13Speaker 2: it's fine. Morphology will be bad. Head defects start coming.
- 38:17Speaker 2: The head is not made of sperm. 85% head is bad. So,
- 38:22Speaker 2: fertility will not happen. If we talk about Indians, then
- 38:25Speaker 2: under 30 is the right age for a female or
- 38:29Speaker 2: a male to get a conception done, first conception done
- 38:33Speaker 2: at least. So that there is no trauma, no such
- 38:37Speaker 2: thing comes in the mind and easily, in easy going,
- 38:40Speaker 2: that thing comes out.
- 38:43Speaker 1: What are you saying, Dr. Samant? In 30 years, you're
- 38:46Speaker 1: expecting people to get married at like 25, 26. This
- 38:49Speaker 1: is just insane. I don't know anybody who's getting married
- 38:52Speaker 1: at 25, 26 now.
- 38:52Speaker 2: This is all the clinically, what we're seeing as drained people,
- 38:57Speaker 2: the better option I think is this. This is according
- 38:59Speaker 2: to my knowledge. This is nowhere evidence proven, written, based, nothing.
- 39:05Speaker 2: To the best of my knowledge, that the trauma they endure,
- 39:09Speaker 2: and because of that trauma, many places, madam, divorces happen. Hmm.
- 39:12Speaker 1: Hmm.
- 39:12Speaker 2: Hmm. a thing comes, it's fine. If you're married, conceive.
- 39:24Speaker 2: If not, then leave it to God. It'll be seen.
- 39:28Speaker 2: It's not a stone's throw.
- 39:30Speaker 1: I just want to bring in a nuance here. You
- 39:33Speaker 1: can marry early. You can have a kid early. And
- 39:37Speaker 1: I have done both.
- 39:38Speaker 2: Okay.
- 39:39Speaker 1: But I'm saying you can marry early. You can have
- 39:41Speaker 1: a kid early in life. But there is no guarantee
- 39:44Speaker 1: that you'll have a happy marriage after that, even after
- 39:46Speaker 1: the kid. So I think what's important, what is paramount
- 39:49Speaker 1: is is to ensure that the man and the woman
- 39:53Speaker 1: who are getting into this arrangement of making or bringing
- 39:56Speaker 1: another life are on the same tangent, are feeling secure,
- 40:00Speaker 1: are feeling secure, are feeling secure in their own self
- 40:03Speaker 1: and with each other. And I think that's paramount as well.
- 40:05Speaker 1: But having said that, suppose I am somebody who found
- 40:10Speaker 1: love late in life, right? I am somebody who, by
- 40:14Speaker 1: the time I made up my mind to marry the guy,
- 40:17Speaker 1: I am already past, say, 30-35. Are there certain things
- 40:22Speaker 1: that I can inculcate in my lifestyle today to ensure
- 40:25Speaker 1: that I have a fit enough body to carry a baby?
- 40:28Speaker 1: And in case of a man, a fit enough body
- 40:30Speaker 1: to give a baby?
- 40:31Speaker 2: So, first of all, if at the female end, if
- 40:36Speaker 2: you are 30+, then you can stop smoking at that
- 40:39Speaker 2: very point of time. Smoking is the biggest factor.
- 40:41Speaker 1: Smoking is the biggest factor.
- 40:42Speaker 2: Smoking is the biggest factor. Stop smoking. You can wait.
- 40:46Speaker 2: You can wait. It's not like there are no children
- 41:08Speaker 2: at 35, there are no children at 38, there are
- 41:10Speaker 2: no children at 40.
- 41:11Speaker 1: No.
- 41:12Speaker 2: This is nowhere the case. There will be children. It's
- 41:15Speaker 2: all about how well you have kept your eggs. Yeah.
- 41:17Speaker 2: And if you are paying attention to yourself, you are
- 41:21Speaker 2: doing regular exercises. And moreover, you are not draining yourself
- 41:27Speaker 2: mentally just for some silly thing. That you have taken pressure.
- 41:34Speaker 2: That you have taken anything very seriously. So you mentally
- 41:38Speaker 2: drain yourself. I will say in that. That someone has
- 41:41Speaker 2: taken family very seriously. That no I have to make
- 41:43Speaker 2: a family. And after that I have to take care
- 41:45Speaker 2: of everyone. After that what mothers used to do. They
- 41:47Speaker 2: used to not take care of themselves. And those people
- 41:50Speaker 2: are the mothers. Who are bed ridden today. Or are
- 41:52Speaker 2: in wheel chair. So self love. And it's true. Self
- 41:58Speaker 2: love should be there. Self love will bring mental health.
- 42:00Speaker 2: Mental health will give you eggs. will be safe. This
- 42:04Speaker 2: is the easiest way that you can take care of yourself.
- 42:07Speaker 1: Any lifestyle changes you would recommend? Like according to you,
- 42:10Speaker 1: who's a healthy 30 plus woman who's good to conceive normally?
- 42:14Speaker 1: Let's start with food.
- 42:15Speaker 2: If you talk about food, then in food, fibers should
- 42:19Speaker 2: be a lot. Because, I mean, I don't want to
- 42:22Speaker 2: go to protein, carbohydrate or that tangent because people start
- 42:28Speaker 2: increasing this too. I said, eat protein, then from 30 years,
- 42:30Speaker 2: start eating protein. No. This is the work of a dietician.
- 42:33Speaker 2: When the patient will go, when the person will go,
- 42:36Speaker 2: he will have a conversation. What is his lifestyle? Lifestyle
- 42:38Speaker 2: to lifestyle. And regional variations also come. Somewhere in the
- 42:42Speaker 2: south rice is going, so rice is going to them.
- 42:44Speaker 2: In our place, roti is going. In the north, roti
- 42:46Speaker 2: is going. So, all this is different. I just say
- 42:49Speaker 2: one thing that in your diet, add raw fruits and
- 42:54Speaker 2: raw vegetables according to your age. If you are 30
- 42:58Speaker 2: years old, then 30% of the day raw vegetables It
- 43:01Speaker 2: should be there. The logic of eating three times, staying
- 43:05Speaker 2: with small meals, that was never the logic. You have
- 43:07Speaker 2: to eat once in the morning, once in the evening.
- 43:09Speaker 2: In the meantime, have basic snacking things. So, we will
- 43:12Speaker 2: do ourselves with a little less fatty food. It is
- 43:17Speaker 2: called trans fat. Trans fat comes in insulin resistance. Insulin
- 43:20Speaker 2: resistance comes in bad egg health. So, I am talking
- 43:26Speaker 2: about trans fat there. Palm oil and reheated oil and this.
- 43:30Speaker 2: You have to avoid all these. Eat Chola Bhatura at home.
- 43:36Speaker 2: Whatever you have to do, go and eat at a
- 43:38Speaker 2: good place. Where there is a place to walk. Eating
- 43:40Speaker 2: is a bliss. It's a feeling of that kind of
- 43:42Speaker 2: a thing in your head. That it keeps your mind good.
- 43:47Speaker 2: And mind is not here. It's everywhere in the body.
- 43:49Speaker 2: Each and every cell has a mitochondria. And it's a mind.
- 43:52Speaker 1: We UP people, we eat a little more personally.
- 43:55Speaker 2: You should eat personally. People who... Food as a fuel.
- 43:59Speaker 2: They are not going to. Trust me. Food as a fuel.
- 44:01Speaker 2: Food as a. Internal satisfaction. You can't underestimate food for
- 44:12Speaker 2: your mental well-being.
- 44:14Speaker 1: I'm going to make a reel out of this clip
- 44:17Speaker 1: and send it to my trainer. Who is calculating how
- 44:20Speaker 1: much calories, protein, fiber, sleep and multivitamins I've eaten. You're
- 44:27Speaker 1: saying that food is not a fuel. Food is a therapy.
- 44:32Speaker 2: Food is a therapy.
- 44:33Speaker 1: Only a person from Lucknow can say that.
- 44:38Speaker 2: Your tumbler won't decide how much water you want to drink.
- 44:41Speaker 2: Your own thirst is also something. So that's a logic.
- 44:44Speaker 2: Are we at the basic level or not? Or have
- 44:47Speaker 2: we surrounded ourselves too much? So don't lead a very
- 44:52Speaker 2: expensive life.
- 44:53Speaker 1: So after all this, a lot of people are going
- 44:55Speaker 1: to say that the doctor is saying that food is
- 44:57Speaker 1: not fuel. And they will go and eat Shukla's chaat.
- 45:03Speaker 1: After that, they will go and eat Ritz's laddus. After that,
- 45:08Speaker 1: Diwali is going to come. They will go and eat sweets.
- 45:11Speaker 1: And everyone will have good meat in Lucknow. That too
- 45:14Speaker 1: will be eaten. So how are you saying all these things?
- 45:17Speaker 2: I have already given a disclaimer at home. You cannot
- 45:21Speaker 2: trust anything. You cannot trust anything at this point of time.
- 45:24Speaker 2: It's a business for someone. And it's your body for you. So,
- 45:28Speaker 2: do whatever you want to do at home. Make yourself happy.
- 45:31Speaker 2: Make the people who are sitting at the dining table
- 45:34Speaker 2: a blissful diet.
- 45:36Speaker 1: But if someone is getting happiness by eating 150 grams.
- 45:40Speaker 2: Of jalebi, what will you tell them? No, so, whatever
- 45:43Speaker 2: is bad, you know what works for you the best.
- 45:46Speaker 2: More than your dietitian, your nutritionist, you know what works
- 45:49Speaker 2: for you.
- 45:50Speaker 1: Talk to me a little bit about men here. Of late,
- 45:53Speaker 1: I've been hearing a lot of instances of men who
- 45:57Speaker 1: look really fit. who go to the gym, who are
- 46:00Speaker 1: ensuring that they have their, you know, regular protein shakes,
- 46:05Speaker 1: but their counts are real low. They look fit, but
- 46:11Speaker 1: they are really unhealthy inside. Are you seeing those patients
- 46:14Speaker 1: in your clinic as well?
- 46:16Speaker 2: Major of them are landing into, onto the OPDs, regular basis,
- 46:22Speaker 2: or fitness ka maap dand, kahi na kahi, badal gaya hai.
- 46:27Speaker 2: Fitness was supposed to be flexibility. Fitness was never associated
- 46:33Speaker 2: with big muscles and six-packs. Okay, someone has a profession.
- 46:37Speaker 2: And it's a profession. They will only see people when
- 46:42Speaker 2: they see them. The one who doesn't have a profession,
- 46:45Speaker 2: his target has been made just for the sake of
- 46:48Speaker 2: aesthetically looking good. And after that, you take injectables. After that,
- 46:52Speaker 2: you take steroid cycles. After that, you end up In
- 46:57Speaker 2: the OPD with almost bad sperm health and with almost
- 47:03Speaker 2: absent organ. Turtling syndrome.
- 47:06Speaker 1: But is this an aberration happening with some people or
- 47:08Speaker 1: you are seeing a lot of young people?
- 47:10Speaker 2: A lot of young people. Some people, okay, a lot
- 47:13Speaker 2: of people don't pay attention. They come after 45-50 because
- 47:16Speaker 2: it has nothing to do with giving birth to children. Obviously,
- 47:19Speaker 2: because that thing is happening. And at that time, when
- 47:21Speaker 2: there is good health, good time, But after that, there
- 47:25Speaker 2: is a declining phase. No one has been able to
- 47:27Speaker 2: escape from this declining phase of steroids. At that time,
- 47:30Speaker 2: it will be very good. Alpha human feel will come
- 47:33Speaker 2: and everything is wonderful. Life is a bliss and everything.
- 47:37Speaker 2: But that declining phase, which has been seen in many places,
- 47:40Speaker 2: that is harmful. So those who have a profession, no,
- 47:44Speaker 2: I mean, okay, do that. But those who don't have
- 47:46Speaker 2: a profession, try flexibility for some time. Flexibility is very good.
- 47:53Speaker 2: And muscles are also formed. But it will be very aesthetic.
- 47:56Speaker 2: There is no guarantee of that. If you focus on
- 47:58Speaker 2: these small aspects, then we can achieve fertility without medicines,
- 48:02Speaker 2: without needles, without hormonal injections. And this is not a
- 48:06Speaker 2: wrong thing to say. What are all these things? You
- 48:11Speaker 2: are taking red light therapy, you are taking oxygen therapy,
- 48:15Speaker 2: you are talking so much about longevity. But internal longevity
- 48:19Speaker 2: is your happiness. Internal longevity is your sperm health. Because
- 48:23Speaker 2: sperm is calculated as your lifespan thing. And erections and
- 48:28Speaker 2: blood flow is calculated as your speedometer to your heart.
- 48:31Speaker 2: So those who have this problem, fertile health, and those
- 48:35Speaker 2: who have sexual-driven fertile health, they have a problem. In
- 48:38Speaker 2: 50% cases, heart attacks are happening. You will see this.
- 48:42Speaker 2: You will always see this. Refer to cardiologists. We have
- 48:44Speaker 2: made a simple protocol. ECG will happen. If there is
- 48:47Speaker 2: a problem in ultrasound dopplers, ECG will happen. Cardiology wale
- 48:52Speaker 2: aayenge loop mein. Toh ye standard protocol hai. I'll tell
- 48:56Speaker 2: you one, ye prostate ka test, ek PSA naam ka
- 48:58Speaker 2: bhi test hai, aapne bohot saari cheezo mein, ye bhool
- 49:01Speaker 2: gaya main. PSA naam ka test, prostate specific antigen, males
- 49:05Speaker 2: ko generally saal mein ek bar karana chahiye. We go
- 49:09Speaker 2: to the airports, aur log pechante hain, sab kuch karte hain,
- 49:12Speaker 2: bohot achche se value karte hain, aur achchi achchi baate
- 49:15Speaker 2: toh sab theek hai, sab bata diya. Lekin, the bad
- 49:18Speaker 2: side of it is, One patient from London. He sat
- 49:22Speaker 2: next to me. And he introduced me. Sir, I am
- 49:25Speaker 2: your patient. I came 5 years back. Oh, very good,
- 49:28Speaker 2: very good. And suddenly I turned around. His wife was sitting.
- 49:33Speaker 2: And wife was very furious at me. I will tell you.
- 49:36Speaker 2: I accept it. It will be my mistake. It will
- 49:37Speaker 2: not be. I don't know. And that guy, after 6 years,
- 49:41Speaker 2: he had infertility, he had a baby, but after 6 years,
- 49:44Speaker 2: he had prostate cancer. After 6 years. Wife told me, sir,
- 49:51Speaker 2: you had done treatment, at least do a PSA test.
- 49:56Speaker 2: I said, that's not my function. That's a urology dependent department.
- 50:00Speaker 2: But from that day, this happened to me three years back. Yes.
- 50:05Speaker 2: From that day till today, I am stopping a PA secretary.
- 50:07Speaker 2: This is my own learning. Where we are doing regularly.
- 50:11Speaker 2: Air hostess was sitting next to me. The crew was travelling.
- 50:14Speaker 2: That lady was really furious at you. I said, we
- 50:17Speaker 2: are doctors and we make mistakes. So whether it happened
- 50:22Speaker 2: because of that or not, but their doctors in London
- 50:23Speaker 2: said that if you get treatment done, why didn't the
- 50:26Speaker 2: doctor check this? And this is a kind of pre-marker
- 50:29Speaker 2: and it is already known. So I would like to
- 50:31Speaker 2: tell everyone that one of my mistakes, whatever it is,
- 50:35Speaker 2: my part is not that. My part was conception, my
- 50:37Speaker 2: part was sexual well-being. But a PSA test is for everyone,
- 50:41Speaker 2: for the masses. I say this, no need to ask anyone.
- 50:45Speaker 2: PSA test, you generally get it done. And for females,
- 50:48Speaker 2: it's simple. A general TVA scan to a good radiologist
- 50:54Speaker 2: is very important. That scan gives a lot of information
- 50:57Speaker 2: and that radiation does nothing. It's important. Dr.
- 51:00Speaker 1: Sankalp, you're the first doctor on this podcast who's admitted
- 51:03Speaker 1: that they did something wrong.
- 51:05Speaker 2: We make a lot of mistakes. And life is, we're
- 51:07Speaker 2: in the learning phase. And my grandfather used to say
- 51:10Speaker 2: till the end that I'm also studying. He used to
- 51:12Speaker 2: take books with him whenever he saw them. I used
- 51:14Speaker 2: to say, you know this much, why are you studying?
- 51:15Speaker 2: Now I understand. That you have to study. If you
- 51:18Speaker 2: need to, if you're an educator, we have only three jobs.
- 51:21Speaker 2: Either educate the masses, either educate the children in medical college,
- 51:24Speaker 2: give orientation to MBBS students, or educate them in OPD.
- 51:29Speaker 2: We have three jobs. There is no other duty of
- 51:30Speaker 2: a doctor. Fourth, today you.
- 51:31Speaker 1: Are encouraging our Health for Health viewers. Okay, let me
- 51:35Speaker 1: add that.
- 51:35Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
- 51:36Speaker 1: Let me add that to the gift. No, you are
- 51:37Speaker 1: earning my respect by saying that. I want to talk
- 51:40Speaker 1: about IVF ladder. I think if we have seen from
- 51:45Speaker 1: the starting of the podcast, we have established some things.
- 51:48Speaker 1: We have established that who needs IVF intervention and who
- 51:53Speaker 1: does not need it. We established which is your most
- 51:57Speaker 1: productive age. We established what things impact it adversely and
- 52:02Speaker 1: what you can do to make it better. I want
- 52:05Speaker 1: to move to some tests now. Are there certain tests
- 52:09Speaker 1: that again, men, women, I won't say marriageable age because
- 52:13Speaker 1: that's highly a criteria to have kids. But anybody who
- 52:17Speaker 1: wants to have a family, anybody who wants to have kids,
- 52:22Speaker 1: are there certain tests that they should get done? And
- 52:24Speaker 1: then I'll come to supplements after that.
- 52:27Speaker 2: I mean, if generally you guys are getting married or
- 52:30Speaker 2: generally in the act you are getting pregnant and conceived,
- 52:37Speaker 2: so far so good. There is no need for anything. Right?
- 52:40Speaker 2: Because if we tell the urban people to do this
- 52:42Speaker 2: or that test, there is a huge public, 80% of
- 52:46Speaker 2: the public, who don't have access to any test. There
- 52:48Speaker 2: are a lot of good people.
- 52:49Speaker 1: Hmm.
- 52:50Speaker 2: So, such a test is not mandatory. But yes, if
- 52:53Speaker 2: there is a problem somewhere, then first of all, show
- 52:57Speaker 2: it to the doctor. The people who are doing this
- 53:02Speaker 2: self-test and are reading it on ChatGPT, you are not
- 53:07Speaker 2: getting sick. Half knowledge is dangerous. You don't know its supporting.
- 53:12Speaker 2: Who knows, if this AMH is bad, you have to
- 53:14Speaker 2: take it from hemoglobin. Who knows, if your sperm health
- 53:18Speaker 2: is bad, your... XYZ, you have to take it from
- 53:21Speaker 2: vitamin D. And you end up getting this. If you
- 53:24Speaker 2: look behind the test, if you flip it, supplements also
- 53:27Speaker 2: come nowadays. That yes, take this. That is the wrong stage. Test,
- 53:30Speaker 2: it was the work of the doctor to prescribe. There
- 53:34Speaker 2: is nothing for the masses. When there is blood invasive
- 53:38Speaker 2: thing involved, then there is supposed to be some guy,
- 53:43Speaker 2: whose referred by, which is written on the test, it
- 53:45Speaker 2: is written for some reason. There should be some doctor involved.
- 53:49Speaker 2: If we talk about general health, if someone just wants
- 53:53Speaker 2: to get a test done like this, then AMH, as
- 53:55Speaker 2: I said, is a very important test, a very basic test.
- 53:58Speaker 2: And females should pay more attention to their hemoglobin, because
- 54:02Speaker 2: females have a very big part of hemoglobin. For males,
- 54:06Speaker 2: it is very important to get their sperm test done,
- 54:09Speaker 2: the most important. And secondly, get the LH test done,
- 54:13Speaker 2: luteinizing hormone. It's very important for the spermatogenesis part, the
- 54:17Speaker 2: starting of it, from the brain, pituitary, LH. This part
- 54:21Speaker 2: is important. And FSH test is for females. So FSH
- 54:25Speaker 2: and AMH for the females, LH and sperm health for
- 54:29Speaker 2: the males. If you do these two tests basically, you
- 54:33Speaker 2: will understand overall. Second, go to any local fertility doctor
- 54:37Speaker 2: and take guidelines. What exercise should I do? What should
- 54:45Speaker 2: I eat? What would be good for me? What would be?
- 54:47Speaker 2: Because doctor will tell you according to his clinical experience
- 54:51Speaker 2: that you should do this, you should do that. And
- 54:54Speaker 2: generally gynecologists were making children do it with the same
- 54:57Speaker 2: beauty till now. So it happens. They will give two
- 55:01Speaker 2: bullets of iron, it is a good thing. So very
- 55:04Speaker 2: good supplements have also come in it. So doctors help you.
- 55:08Speaker 1: I thought you will say folic acid is one thing
- 55:11Speaker 1: that women should start on. If they are thinking about.
- 55:16Speaker 1: Apart from folic acid, which is like, you know, wisdom
- 55:19Speaker 1: that women have had for a while, that if you're
- 55:21Speaker 1: thinking about having a family, start on folic acid, right?
- 55:24Speaker 1: Apart from this, anything else that people can sort of
- 55:28Speaker 1: get started on?
- 55:28Speaker 2: Naturally, Ayurvedic practice, just like my father, he has been,
- 55:33Speaker 2: had a background of Ayurveda and everything. And from there,
- 55:38Speaker 2: Ashwagandha to L-Arginine, its good formulations have come. So, Coenzyme
- 55:45Speaker 2: Q is very good for males. Coenzyme Q is very
- 55:50Speaker 2: good for males. L-Arginine and Ashwagandha is very good. If
- 55:56Speaker 2: those two things, because it relieves stress too. If cortisol
- 56:00Speaker 2: levels are low, then obviously your glandular effects will be good.
- 56:03Speaker 2: If glandular effects are good, then your hormones will be good.
- 56:06Speaker 2: Sperm will be good, egg will be good. So it's
- 56:08Speaker 2: about logic. Overall, to create an energy level in the cell,
- 56:13Speaker 2: to give more oxygen to the cell, to start their pump,
- 56:17Speaker 2: sodium potassium pump. And magnesium is the most beautiful thing,
- 56:22Speaker 2: which people, male, female, both of them, should be started.
- 56:26Speaker 2: And particularly, if we go to magnesium, then bisglycate. Many
- 56:30Speaker 2: of them are different from magnesium. Bisglycate is a better thing.
- 56:34Speaker 2: It makes sleep better. Non-REM sleep and REM sleep, if
- 56:38Speaker 2: you have heard, rapid eye movement, in which the brain
- 56:41Speaker 2: remains active all the time. Magnesium gives that channel a break. So,
- 56:46Speaker 2: magnesium is a very good thing. It doesn't cause any harm. Obviously, again,
- 56:50Speaker 2: don't buy magnesium without a doctor's permission. They will tell
- 56:54Speaker 2: you which glycate, which magnesium, which one is good for you.
- 56:57Speaker 1: And they will also check your reports if you are
- 56:59Speaker 1: deficient or not.
- 56:59Speaker 2: And they will check your reports if you are deficient
- 57:01Speaker 2: or not. So, what is this thing? Generally, if magnesium
- 57:05Speaker 2: has become general in your overall gym supplementation, that means
- 57:08Speaker 2: you have to take it for 15 days a month.
- 57:09Speaker 2: Gym supplementation. Gym, yes. I mean, you see the whole
- 57:11Speaker 2: list of it and you will be all, what has
- 57:14Speaker 2: happened to the gym people, I also don't understand. Protein box.
- 57:17Speaker 1: What are you looking at?
- 57:19Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 57:19Speaker 1: What are your patients bringing in the name of gym supplements?
- 57:22Speaker 2: They are bringing very big boxes. Like? They are bringing
- 57:24Speaker 2: expensive boxes. And, okay, I don't want to go there.
- 57:28Speaker 1: No, no, please tell me. I want to know what
- 57:31Speaker 1: are gym supplements.
- 57:33Speaker 2: Basically, the most dangerous are the steroidal PCT cycles. And
- 57:36Speaker 2: that should not be done. Until, obviously, you are not
- 57:40Speaker 2: earning from it. Until you have a profession. And if
- 57:43Speaker 2: you are earning from it, it's good. You can afford it.
- 57:46Speaker 2: You can afford the side effects that come after that.
- 57:48Speaker 2: But just in fashion, in fascination, 15-year-old kid is going
- 57:53Speaker 2: to the gym, he has started weightlifting. It's not good.
- 57:57Speaker 2: I don't want to go in that tangent. It's a
- 57:59Speaker 2: vast thing. But generally, show it to the doctor. Ask
- 58:03Speaker 2: them what to take. Don't go above the trainers. What
- 58:05Speaker 2: are they saying? You try a proper doctor with a degree.
- 58:12Speaker 2: that your general practitioner, your family physician, check everything every time.
- 58:19Speaker 2: Anything you put inside your body, it should go from
- 58:22Speaker 2: a doctor. I'm not saying take a big DM, MD
- 58:26Speaker 2: or all that. No, catch a family physician. Because your
- 58:29Speaker 2: grandfather is watching everyone. He knows what will work for
- 58:33Speaker 2: your family health.
- 58:34Speaker 1: Like in North India, I know in Kanpur, Lucknow, this
- 58:36Speaker 1: happens a lot. Women are generally low on iron. men
- 58:41Speaker 1: as well. So I remember when I got married and
- 58:44Speaker 1: I was aware, I went, in fact, after I had
- 58:47Speaker 1: a baby, I went and got my thalassemia test done.
- 58:50Speaker 1: And then my, you know, Gainak told me that this
- 58:53Speaker 1: is the first thing, kudliya milao ya na milao, ek
- 58:56Speaker 1: thalassemia ka test zarur milwana chahiye when you're getting married.
- 59:00Speaker 2: Right?
- 59:01Speaker 1: So, that would be one test that one should get
- 59:04Speaker 1: done before they, before they even think about a family.
- 59:08Speaker 2: Sab ko, haan theek hai kar sakte hain. The doctor
- 59:11Speaker 2: should be involved. If you get positive or negative and
- 59:14Speaker 2: if you get directionless, the directionless part will make you
- 59:18Speaker 2: suffer more than the one with Thalassemia. So just involve
- 59:21Speaker 2: the doctor and there are many good doctors who don't
- 59:23Speaker 2: give antibiotics. Your dad didn't give it to you, I
- 59:25Speaker 2: won't give it to your child. It is their logic.
- 59:36Speaker 2: And I trust those logics. Yeah. Because they know best
- 59:40Speaker 2: what will work for your family and if your three
- 59:42Speaker 2: generations are going on, then it is not going on
- 59:43Speaker 2: like this. So, again, doctor should be involved in every
- 59:47Speaker 2: point of time.
- 59:49Speaker 1: The real treasure in life is to have a good GP.
- 59:53Speaker 2: True that.
- 59:53Speaker 1: Which is Which seems to be lacking. Because we go
- 59:58Speaker 1: to the expert for everything. I think a general practitioner.
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: But it's very difficult.
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: To get a good GP. You find out. You go
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: to four doctors to show cold, cold, anything.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: People of Kanpur, Lucknow think it's easy. You come to
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: Delhi and see.
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: Where will you get it?
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: You are going to the emergency for everything.
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: That's a little bit. Because history doesn't tell. The patient
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: will be anxious in front of them. Anxious. And they
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: will get bipolar disorder. They give you antidepressants. This is
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: not possible. You know this is one of the most
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: submissive behaviour. This is very introvert. This is the role
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: of a GP. And a GP has a big role
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: outside as well. First they show the GP that you
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: go to London. You will not be allowed to visit
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: a doctor. You go to GP first. Then after that
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: you have a step by step. So GP play a
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: very big role in the society health. Rather.
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: You talked about many things, so I think this is
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: a good time where we can play a game. We
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: call it take it or trash it. In which I
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: will throw certain items at you, certain regimes at you.
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: And you have to tell me from the lens of fertility,
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: should you take it or should you trash it?
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: For the masses.
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: For the masses, yeah. So this is take it or
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: trash it, fertility edition.
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: Are you ready? Yes.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: Ghee, dry fruits or panjiri for fertility?
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: Take it, but there is always a but. And there
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: will be a but. Take it, but your lipids are
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: to be checked. If your lipids have HDL, LDL problem,
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: then trash it. And if not, take it.
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: Calorie can go up. It can have other harmful effects.
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: Walnuts for fertility.
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: Good. Take it. Okay.
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: Ashwagandha.
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: Take it. Not in excess. Consult a doctor.
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: Shatavari.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: Shatavari, yes. You trash it if you're taking it on
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: your own through ads and everything. Take it if a
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: doctor is prescribing it. It's a good thing. Shatavari, Ashwagandha, Gokhru.
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: These are 5-6 things of Ayurveda. These are very good things.
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: What about Shilajit?
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: Trash it.
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: Trash it. Does nothing.
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: Does nothing is an endothelial. Basically, oxygen carrying capacity of
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: the cell increases. It helps in the oxygen carrying capacity.
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: That's its primary role. But attach it to fashion. Again,
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: Shilajit is a serious thing. And you should talk to
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: a serious guy before taking it. All right.
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: And this one really fascinated me. It's called Putra Jeevak Beej.
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: It's said to sort of help you in conception of.
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: A male child. Haaj jod ke trash it. Haaj jod
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: ke trash it. Pure pure haaj jod ke. Because they
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: may hinder your chromosomal health. Permanently wo genetic defect dete
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: hain ye sab cheese. So any kind of beej which
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: tells you ke aap ladka hoga. And if this had happened,
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: we belong to a very old society, we belong to
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: the history of Ayurveda. And my grandfather, my great-grandfather have
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: been a great scholar. And these people always said, trash it.
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: Nothing of that sort exists. If it had happened, there
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: would have been imbalance in the world. In any country,
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: in any corner, there would have been imbalance.
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: Okay, what about new wellness hat, seed cycling for fertility?
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: Can't say, can't say.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: You're not trashing what you're saying. I'm not saying.
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: Can't say, yeah. Okay.
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: All right. Garbh Sanskar of Fertility Yoga.
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: Take it. Take it. Very important, very important. And it
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: should be part of every, every child being born. Because
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: that helps in the IQ level, the brain functions and
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: all the inside whatever is happening. Because our first concept
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: was of dais. In pregnancy, hospitals were not going, there
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: were dais. daai, garbh, sanskar mein ek bahut bada role
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: play karti thi. And bahut knowledge nahi hai mereko ush
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: cheez ki. But people who are doing it, good people
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: who are doing it, and everyone at a higher level
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: is doing it. There are very good practitioners who are
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: actually preaching this practice. Take it.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: It's what is in modern day called a lama's practice.
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: Yes. Right.
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: What about quitting smoking for better fertility?
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: Take it, take it, take it teen time. Okay.
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: He's not saying take it smoking. He's saying quit smoking.
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: Just to sort of remind everyone.
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: Kesar doodh to boost fertility.
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: I don't think so complex protein can in any ways help.
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: I don't know. But crash it. Not the only thing. Okay.
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: What about cranberries and berries for fertility?
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: Wonderful. Cranberries and berries if you're a female. After an age,
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: mood regulations, menstrual cycles... It helps in everything. It mimics
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: a certain kind of metabolism in your body that can
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: actually help your mental health and overall your uterine health. Okay.
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: What about cutting out chai and coffee for fertility?
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: Can't say. There are no evidences for that reason. But
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: I don't think so. They, I mean, excessive coffee, obviously,
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: dopamine and all that goes with your cycle. But excess
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: of anything is bad. In moderation, tea and coffee are good. Okay.
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: What about antioxidants and COQ10 packs?
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: Coenzyme Q is very good. But again, the same thing
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: I told you earlier. And L-Arginine, L-Carnitine. What is all this?
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: In cardiology, L-Carnitine is very good for heart health. And
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: heart health of males is at the most risk. So whenever, whenever,
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: whenever you are taking supplementation, there should be some symptoms
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: before that. Without symptoms, you should not take supplements in fashion.
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: Just to prevent it, that it may come, no. Your
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: body will ask for it. All right.
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: Time of intercourse matters in fertility.
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: A lot at a highest level. That is the only thing.
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: The window, the fertile window, that is our biggest role.
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: And more than time, the quality of orgasm matters in fertility.
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: Because orgasm, the peristaltic movement of the uterine area and
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: all those things, that facilitates. Obviously, some conspiracy theories say this,
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: some say that. But according to me, an orgasm is
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: the best thing that can happen to a female. It
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: happens to a male anyhow. So, it's very important for
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: a female for the egg to travel or the sperm
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: to travel. And a good health-wise, mentally also. And if
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: that is for that, it stays for some seconds. And
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: if the fertile window comes in that second, so it's
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: a blessing in disguise. Okay.
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: There's another very popular one online that men should avoid
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: wearing tight jeans. And keep laptop or phones in their pocket.
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: This is absolutely true. This is a very true statement.
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: And it's just for the perspiration part. That our skin sweats.
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: And if it doesn't get escape, then that sweat will
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: remain there. It will convert into toxin. And if there
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: are toxins there, So calcium deposits and all that means
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: an unhealthy area develops. So it should be lighter. It
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: should be, earlier men used to use dhoti in Indian origin.
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: And that was somewhere the logic behind it. But totally
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: urban side, if we are coming, then there is no logic.
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: But you can be easy on your lower area. You
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: can be flexible on your pelvic area. And if you
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: use easy and lighter shades on it, If you are
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: keeping it a little airy. And that will help in
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: your fertility. And there has been an age. Fertility has happened.
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: There are children. After that, I don't think so it
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: matters a lot.
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: Some people are very popular on the internet. They are
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: having ginger. Ginger for productive health. Is it worth it?
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: Take it? Trash it?
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: Trash it. Puri tarike se trash it. Aap YouTube pe
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: itni videos AI generated dekhoge, thoda sa isme pinch karo,
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: thoda sa isme chia seed dalo, chhoa sa isme ye
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: dalo and make it, it will be this, it will
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: be that.
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: Fertility tonics.
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: Fertility tonics. Trash it. Aap, adrak aapko fertile bhi kar
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: sakti hai, infertile bhi kar sakti hai. Bohat zyada adrak
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: lene ke liye Ayurveda mein mana kiya gaya hai. I
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: am talking about, I don't want to be biased at
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: any point of time, that I am an Allopet, so
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: I am talking about Allopet. I am talking about, I
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: am talking about, I am talking about, I am talking about, So,
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: papa has never been his habit till today. He doesn't
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: like it today. So, similarly, such things, we people, in traditions,
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: we people say many things are time-tested and many things
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: are evidence-oriented. So, many things are time-tested. According to every ritu,
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: your food is bound. Bajra comes at the same time
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: in our house. If we are North Indians, you know,
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: in Ganpur, Lucknow, the same things happen. And, Now if
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: you look at it, the most micro organisms are produced
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: at this time because it is rainy season.
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: Fasting is also at this time. Because you want your
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: system to be like.
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: Paryushan Parv is also at this time. Ganesh Ji is
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: also at this time.
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: Navratri.
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: Navratri is also coming. Everything. Why is it coming at
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: this time? Because it's not like this. You don't have
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: to take it as a fast. It's not just about
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: taking it as a sacrifice. We have been told to
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: take it as a sacrifice, others have been told to
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: take it as a fast. But it's a concept to take,
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: to take its essence. That stop eating outside. In a day,
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: in potatoes, it gets shrubs and shoots. Yes. So don't
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: eat from the ground. What logic is wrong in this?
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: If you follow your time-tested traditions, which are your principles,
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: You are coming from generation to generation. In my opinion,
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: in generations, everyone will have children. Only then you will
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: be there. If you go there, and whatever is happening,
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: people are going back to their villages, work from homes,
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: and telling all the stories. We are farming, we are
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: growing micro greens, we are doing all this. What is
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: all this? Fancy version of what we were before. So,
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: let's go there. We will see. Will it happen? Will
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: it not happen? I don't know. But, traditions, value, are
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: very important. And I think if those things are good
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: in our family, what is good, what is bad, what
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: is bad, someone's gut health is bad, someone's family. Everyone's
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: gut health is bad. Yeah. You tell him to go
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: and eat chickpeas and that whole YouTube strategy and that
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: man will die of constipation. He will have IBS, IBD,
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: he will have inflammatory bowel syndromes. Don't do it. You
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: can't do anything by going to YouTube. There will be
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: a doctor for you. There will be a knowledgeable person
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: on your side. Go and ask him or her. They
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: will help.
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: So let me take you back to some solutions.
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: We scared a lot of people. Don't smoke. You know,
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: do weight lifting properly. Eat your protein properly. Or eat less.
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: Stop taking steroids. We told all these things. But what
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: to do?
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: You specifically pointed out for protein.
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: Our camera person needs this advice. So I thought I
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: will tell you.
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: He is doing wonderful. So.
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: Talk me through certain things that better your fertility. Things
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: that young men and women, especially in the metros, and
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: now you don't come from the metros, you come from Lucknow,
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: and you're telling me that every other billboard there is
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: made up of fertility clinics. So, stuff that young men
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: and women, or men and women who want to conceive,
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: should be prioritizing in their life.
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: Okay. So, let's start. First of all, spending time together.
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: It's the biggest aspect. It's a very underrated aspect. You
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: don't need any prescription for this. You don't need any
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: supplements for this. You don't need any blood test for this.
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: The more you start living a different, separate, single life,
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: your sink can't be made. And you just perform it
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: as an activity. Just for the act of it, it
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: doesn't work. It's very important for you to be active.
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: It's very important for you to be fascinated. I have
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: written a book, 4-Player Role-Play Rounds. I have done the
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: same thing in the whole thing. That you are active
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: and you are so fascinated about this thing with your partner.
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: This is important. And this thing drives you that it
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: is going well, it is going bad. Assess it once.
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: A 45-year-old man and husband and wife came from quite far.
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: That female when she speaks and that male was actually
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: crying with tears. That those females say, I don't know
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: what orgasm is till date. Till date, I have never
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: told them because we come from a very rich society.
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: Our females will not say. We are not that western
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: country guy who says in front of everyone, you can't
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: do it. So, it is very important that you guys
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: talk to each other. Spending time together is important. And
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: let's not talk about useless things. Don't talk about work.
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: We are working. Everything will continue. This will not decide
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: how you will die. What will decide that how are
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: you guys? So this will drive your mental health, well-being
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: with your partner. And with your partner, I am saying
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: this again and again because it is the most important.
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: People will come and go no matter what. But this
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: partner is going to be there with you for your life.
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: And whenever you will be drained or depressed, This is
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: the only person, the latter one. I mean, whoever it is,
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: female or male, this person can get you out of
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: it without antidepressants. This is the truth. And those people
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: who are doing a gap with this, those people, okay, infidelities,
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: I will say this part, those who are doing a gap,
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: those people are going to a more depressive end. Because
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: they have no one in front of whom they should
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: not do pretentious behavior. So pretentious behavior is a different character.
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: We go out of the world and take a pretentious behavior.
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: We are something else at home. But that person should
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: have respect. Apas mein respect honi chahiye. Saath rehne se
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: mera mental health se uddesh hai. Mental health se respect
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: ki taraf uddesh hai. Aap dono ek dusre ko value
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: karne chahiye at every equal point of time. Agar saari
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: cheezain achchi ho rahi hai, to aap congratulations, aap un
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: 90% logon mein ho jo conceive kar lengi hai. Baaki
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: jo 10% bach jata hai, wo ek chikitsak ke end pe,
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: ya basic test ke end pe, ya at the end
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: of your regular endothelial functions, at the end of your
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: timing levels, or overall, how much time you are giving
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: yourself for stimulation. With all those things, or with some supplementation,
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: that we are taking Q10, it does good for sperm health,
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: and we are taking all basic ashwagandha, shilajit, whatever, we
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: are taking this couple as a couple therapy, and along
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: with that, the most important thing is couple yoga. If
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: we are going with couple yoga, it is not a
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: better thing than your mental alignment. If you have a
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: good teacher of yoga, then yoga is the best thing
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: that you can do together for the fertility. This is
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: also called Garbh Sanskar. If you read in the book,
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: then Garbh Sanskar is also a lot of yoga. The
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: breathing alignment is yoga. And when you align it with discipline,
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: that gives you results. It's not like you'll be able
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: to do it with a headband. No, it's not like that.
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: So, it won't happen if you go to the gym.
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: It will. It will definitely happen. But where did that
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: private space go? Again, pretentious behavior came. Again, all those
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: things came. I'm talking about fertility, not fashion.
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: What about playing like a sport together? We know racquet sport.
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: Wonderful. We know racquet sport is great. It's very good.
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: Do it. Which involves the both of you. Which involves
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: both of you, in which you both have a As
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: they say, we are lost. While playing, we start shouting
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: so much that what is happening with us? That aspect
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: of your character, that is important to come out. When
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: that comes out, that connects, that connects, then you go
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: very well on the level of intimacy. And when that
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: comes out well, then from where will the fertility question
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: mark be? So that is your egg being happy and
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: your sperm being happy together. And those people who have
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: not supported their tissue health, we have stimulating and misusing
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: their organs. Those who have already done it, they should
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: take help. They should take help. Their only exercise, exercise
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: is not a drug. Doctor is responsible for that drug. So,
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: it won't be done only with exercise. But, for fertility,
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: you say exercise is not a drug. That's half the story.
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: But if you have tissue damage, if you have any
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: problem in your Doppler studies, you address it. Just like
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: we say ATRT, before ART, do ATRT. Advanced Tissue Regenerative
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: Therapies Technologies, which we, with God's grace, I've got a
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: patent from Indian government for this technology. So, why are
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: all these things? Just after this thing, we are running
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: after the same thing, that natural conception, without needle and needle,
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: natural intimate health, without taking a pill, performing part over
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: the drugs, these OTC drugs, We are misusing them a lot.
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: People are losing their heart health. These are all small aspects.
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: If you keep everything aside, sit with your partner, talk,
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: come to the conclusion, go to the doctor, done.
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: You also have devised a very interesting Fertimacy Protocol. What
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: exactly is that?
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: So, again, Sandeep Ikhshed, I will do this. Ferti, Mesi.
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: Fertility is Fertile. Intimacy is Mesi. So, where there is
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: good fertility, there should be good intimacy quotients also. And
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: the same thing was missing in our protocol. If we
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: would go to the gynecologist, everyone would talk about the female,
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: but they were afraid to talk about intimacy. What did
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: they do the most? They wrote a sperm test and
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: what did they do the most? But nobody was telling, asking,
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: how is your sex life? Because that's the base of it.
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: And if that base is good, then fertility and intimacy
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: go hands in hands. So we run an IVF center. So,
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: we run ARTs. Assisted Reproductive Technology, Techniques, whatever you call it.
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: The first protocol of AT, ART, which generally all doctors
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: used to follow, that was ATRT, Advanced Tissue Regenerative Technology, Technique, Therapy,
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: whatever you call it. This technique, technology, we got a
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: patent from the Indian government in the name of ErectiCare Pro.
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: That is a device which can solve the problem of
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: infertility due to dysfunction, reproductive dysfunction or tissue damage or
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: endothelial dysfunction. These are all pelvic floor related terms. So
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: you have.
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: A device for this?
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: This is a device.
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: How does it work?
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: This works on nitric oxide pressure. Nitric oxide is responsible
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: for the erections in the body. And we have collaborated
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: with US FDA with Alma Duo, the Alma Lasers, the
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: good people. Now, with the help of these two, we
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: can remove both males and females from pelvic floor disorders.
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: And when their pelvic floor disorders are better, that's what
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: I said, then we can see small sperms in the
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: acquired azoospermia. Because we have rehabilitated that area. So, before drugs,
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: rehabilitation is the main protocol for fertility and intimacy and
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: overall longevity. Because all these things are showing your longevity. So,
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: this fertility protocol is basically not opting ART as the
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: only thing, but ATRT as the best thing possible and
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: trying it with the couple for six months or an year,
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: which is the protocol generally of doctors. And not push
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: them into IVF. And not push them into IVF. Because
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: we were doing that for 90 years. ATRT. For that,
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: papa did so much. This machine was 24 years of
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: hard work. I got it by God's grace, it should
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: have been in papa's name. But again, what we were
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: doing since 90 years, now we are doing it with
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: IVF also.
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: Why nitric oxide? Because you also said air pollution.
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: Nitric oxide is a natural gas that is there in
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: the fresh vegetables and everything. That gives your body endothelial
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: function a relaxation effect. It's not only the blood flow
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: which is causing an erection. It is the nitric oxide
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: gas that is causing an erection. So, this is very
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: important part of a male reproductive health. So, we are
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: using the medical grade nitric oxide gases for the tissue regeneration.
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: So, you are infusing it.
- 1:22:03Speaker 2: Infusing it through creating a sterile vacuum. And with that,
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: we are getting amazing results. That turtling syndrome that I
- 1:22:12Speaker 2: talked about. Shrinkage syndrome.
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: But does that work in women as well?
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: For women, again, other technologies have come. Because with this,
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: there are not only technologies. There are a lot of EMTs. Electromagnetic.
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: Which works at the level of neurotransmission. There are a
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: lot of different things. But in females, particularly like HIFUs,
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: which are vaginal treatments.
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: Or....
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: There is ALMA. ALMA has a very good effect on females.
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: What is ALMA?
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: ALMA Duo is a US FDA class 1 therapy technology
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: which uses hydrostatic particles for rejuvenation of your replenishment of
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: your walls. Like our inner squamous epithelium, similarly we get
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: it on organs too. Now to treat that we use
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: those waves. And these waves are so safe and so
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: good and their results are very good. urges increase, things increase,
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: and moreover, when everything starts to be good, then fertility
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: comes good. So we talk about all these things without
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: any drug-based protocol. We have used more and more incitol
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: for sperm health, but we consider drug secondary. We have
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: all the rights in the world to prescribe it. We
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: have all the multidisciplinary doctors on our protocol, but we
- 1:23:27Speaker 2: don't encourage drug-based therapies in our protocol. For that, there
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: are very good consultants sitting with me. who are doing
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: very good work, be it gynecologists, be it urologists, be
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: it everyone. So, where there are tubal blockages, where there
- 1:23:40Speaker 2: are endometriosis, these are small things. So, we are basically
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: working on metabolic health, we are working on your ovarian reserve,
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: we are working on your spermatogenesis, and moreover, we are
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: working on your insulin resistance in your metabolic health, which
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: plays a very big factor. In both males and females,
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: there is an infertility causing agent. Because where the weight increases,
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: there comes fat, where fat comes, there comes insulin, there
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: comes insulin. It's a, I mean, again, you have come
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: in a circle, now you will not be able to
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: get out of that circle. So it's very important that
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: we go to our base, look at metabolic health, and
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: a lot of things improve from metabolic health. The cases
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: that we get rid of, we do IVF on them.
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: Okay, so we talked in detail, but do so many
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: people come to your clinic for your consult? Can you
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: tell us some basic habits that lead to infertility?
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: A doctor's clinical experience is a very big measure. And
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: the question you have is the biggest measure. We understand
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: after seeing it many times that this thing will go wrong.
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: Like being overweight. Overweight causes shrinkage syndrome or turtling effect.
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: There the organ goes inside. So in male fraternity, this
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: is the most dangerous thing. I mean, it gets bad.
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: We get very worried in treating it. And the patient
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: also gets very worried. But it gets better. They get there.
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: I mean, those who used to look at themselves at
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: the age of 15-20 versus those who are 40-50 years
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: old today, they start looking the same. Without any extra
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: collagen or without any extra anything. So, when it comes
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: to weight, we have five metabolic things. Whether you are
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: diabetic or not, whether you are hypertensive or not, how
- 1:25:26Speaker 2: is your thyroid, how is your mental health, and after that,
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: how is your sexual health. These five things are considered
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: in metabolic syndrome. Like we talk about diabetes, hypertension very
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: easily at home. We have started talking easily about thyroid,
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: that your weight is good, thyroid, hypo, hyper. Everyone has
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: started knowing about this. Mental health, thanks to all the
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: celebrities who are doing it, who are doing good and telling,
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: everyone is coming forward. Stigma is coming. Stigma is coming.
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: And they are coming openly that I was depressed. I
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: abused alcohol. Hany Singh sir told us. He came very well.
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: Because for our age generation, he is someone whom we
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: look up to. So for them, they did a very
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: good job. Similarly, your sexual health. Obviously, if dysfunctional status
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: is going on with your partner, then these five things
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: should be talked about. You can't talk about this in
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: the family, obviously, but with your partner. Or someone who
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: you are really close to. Or someone who you really trust.
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: Because there are more people in the world who make
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: and tell the truth. And that thing can be done
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: in a group to show someone down. You shouldn't discuss
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: with everyone, but with your partner. loved one or person
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: who you trust. So, these are the five important lifestyle
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: disorders which land in metabolic dysfunction. This metabolic dysfunction lands
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: in your infertility. Overall, if you have a lot of
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: dark circles or anything like that, I am telling you
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: about males. What is the most distinctive feature of males?
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: Eyes get clogged inside. This is because of lack of testosterone.
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: Eyes get clogged inside. So, in a way, it feels
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: like a hole has been made. And it is all black.
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: then that is a very big feature that this guy
- 1:27:13Speaker 2: is not very mentally strong and he is somewhere deprived
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: of some nutritional level access. He is eating but his
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: body is not getting attached. We talk about all those
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: aspects and I think mostly the basic AI technology that
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: we have used, which includes HbA1c, lipid and ECG, we
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: do all three together. It comes in 10 minutes. We
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: test it. And in 10 minutes, you get an elaborated
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: report about with your heart. How much lipid is there
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: in the blood at that point of time. So that
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: gives you a metabolic age. When we talk about longevity
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: and metabolic age, it actually comes from here. It doesn't
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: come out after filling online tests. So you should have
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: real time. How is the heart working? Real time should
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: be there. How many lipids are there in it? Real
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: time should be there. What is your glucose level at
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: that time?
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: You get a lot of such people in business class families.
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: At the end of the politician, we have a lot
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: of such children. Because their parents are so confined in that.
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: That I have this guy. He tells me. Sir, I
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: think 200 times before sending my girlfriend a reply on WhatsApp.
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: If her screenshot goes out tomorrow, what will happen? They
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: are going in a different trauma level. Now this thing
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: will go to the end of depression. Two PSOs come
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: with him. Everything is there. Now he comes alone. Touch wood.
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: So he is very confident. So what are all these things?
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: It's very important. Deep down somewhere, he's troubling them. But
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: parents don't know because he's walking around, talking and doing
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: as much as he wants. He's functioning well. But you
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: have to pay attention. All the influential people who are around,
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: whom people know, understand or whom people look upon, they
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: have to pay attention to their children. They don't have
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: a habit for them. They have struggled to take that position.
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: They know how ups and downs are. But that is
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: very important for those kids.
- 1:29:04Speaker 1: Because they don't know anything.
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: Generation after that.
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: Let's end on a positive note. Certain things you think
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: which are easy, free, completely doable, that can improve and
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: put you on the path of improving your fertility.
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: Again, exercises, playing some sport together, Again, making your mental balance,
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: making your mental ability sync with your partner. It should
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: not happen that you are at a very high level,
- 1:29:39Speaker 2: you are looking at your partner from there. We talk
- 1:29:42Speaker 2: about a preconceived notion, which comes the earliest in marriages.
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: Because you are with him the whole time, and a
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: preconceived notion has happened that if this reaction will come
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: on this thing, then don't tell this thing. You will
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: talk about all these things and with all these preconceived notions,
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: you cannot keep your mental status balanced and you cannot
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: come to the right thing. Like what is called sane decision.
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: So these sane decisions are fine. Anyone can do everything
- 1:30:08Speaker 2: that this is not required, that is not required. It
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: is a right thing. I am talking about sane decision.
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: Sane decision will give a sane mental status. Sane mental
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: status obviously will give an acceptance mental status that you
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: should have acceptance. You are full of yourself. You are
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: full of yourself.
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: I am my favorite. I thought that was self love.
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: What are you saying?
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: No, I, me, myself is different. But we as a partner.
- 1:30:39Speaker 2: If we come. Doctor is a very nice guy. He
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: says I... Bhologe illness aayega, V bologe wellness aayega. So, Dr.
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: Saab is very nice. I really follow that person. Dr. Hegde,
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: if I'm not wrong. He's also a guy. He's an
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: advocate to all these things what is happening. So, I
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: really follow these people. So, wo Dr. Saab ka bhi
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: logic ek tha. Happiness, happiness, happiness. Each and every cell
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: is your mind. And mind treats your body better than medicine.
- 1:31:09Speaker 2: That's very important. Medicine, matlab wo kitaap ke aage bhi
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: likha tha, maari pharma ke kitaap ke aage. While the
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: medicine amuses the patient, nature plays its role.
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: You sound so much more like a couple's therapist than
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: a doctor who treats.
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: I started my career from there. I got a place
- 1:31:25Speaker 2: at the reception of my father. And there, counseling was
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: my job. That was in my internship. When I was
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: in the King George Medical University, doing my internship from
- 1:31:33Speaker 2: there in Lucknow. It's a very good college. And you
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: get to learn a lot. Everyone comes here. I had
- 1:31:38Speaker 2: to do that. My father would keep watching. And in
- 1:31:41Speaker 2: his camera, my job was the same. And I like
- 1:31:44Speaker 2: that job. I like that job. I love that job.
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: It's nothing. Hope awakens. And hope is success. If it's honest,
- 1:31:52Speaker 2: then success also comes.
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: Okay, last five things that I want to hear. Tell
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: me what are the signs of a good, happy, in-sync couple?
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: This is like a test.
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: That all couples can do.
- 1:32:05Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: Then how do you know whether you are nailing it
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: in life or not? And it's got nothing to do
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: with fertility. That could be a byproduct. That could be
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: a byproduct. But yeah, otherwise.
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: So the best couple, who.
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: I'm very nervous about this.
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: So the best couple, who... I mean, I'm talking on
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: my own standards, on the basis of my brain. I
- 1:32:25Speaker 2: don't know, whole. Anyone's values and anyone's things are different.
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: I come from a traditional background. I have a 100-year legacy. So...
- 1:32:33Speaker 2: We manage a lot of things. So if you can
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: communicate with your partner in public without saying anything, you're
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: the best couple. Without having that, that maybe there will
- 1:32:48Speaker 2: be a fight. If you have that communication and if
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: you have the language of gestures, that's the best love
