"Many advances in fertility are helping people have children later and later in life, however, the ability to conceive does decrease significantly with increasing age and at different rates for men and women. Sections of this book focus separately on male and female fertility and factors affecting each in turn. All chapters discuss and review the dietary, nutritional, and lifestyle factors affecting fertility."--Back cover
