This week, Ali sits down with Dr. Mark Ratner , Chief Science Officer at Theralogix and one of the country’s leading experts in reproductive health and nutritional science. After 30 years in private practice focused on male fertility, Dr. Ratner has seen firsthand how confusing — and sometimes misleading — the supplement world can be. In this eye-opening conversation, he and Ali unpack what’s actually backed by science when it comes to fertility supplements, how to choose products that are truly evidence-based, and the importance of transparency in a market full of mystery formulas and marketing claims. They also dive into OvaNAD+ , a Theralogix supplement specifically designed to support egg health and mitochondrial function. Mark and the Theralogix team are also offering a special discount to Infertile AF listeners. S ave 15% at Theralogix.com with code INFERTILEAF .
