Ep 87: Project AIM with Dr. Natan Bar-Chama and Dr. Barrett Cowan

Traditionally, infertility has been seen as a woman's issue, to the point where even infertility centers focus predominantly on the female evaluation. But we all know that it takes two to tango: not only does this impact women's mental health in an already stressful situation, but it also doesn't acknowledge the impact that sperm quality has on miscarriages or the health of the child. Today we are joined by two experts who are here to talk about a really exciting initiative called Project AIM, which addresses this issue and brings access and inclusion to men. Returning guest Dr. Natan Bar Chama from RMA, and Dr. Barrett Cowan, a reproductive urologist and the founder of Posterity Health, share with us the really exciting work Project AIM is doing, as well as the advantages of the at-home kit that they have created. We discuss the vast psychological benefits that such telehealth provides, including compassionate and supportive care around an issue that can feel sensitive or shameful for many men. The conversation also covers the importance of simultaneous evaluation at the onset, not only because time is of the essence, but also because it creates a bridge between the couple that supports the mental health of both partners. To discover more about where and how you can get this kit and begin your journey today, tune in, and let's dive in.
