The seventh and final episode of Secret Science, an Australian television series, is set to air on ABC on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, at 8:50 p.m. In this installment, host Matt Okine embarks on a journey to explore the challenges of fertility and the surprising decline in male sperm count over the past four decades.
Matt Okine, who previously confronted the topic of mortality in “Matt Okine is Going to Die,” now shifts his focus to the beginning of life. He explores the moment when an egg and sperm meet for the first time and the complexities of starting a family in the modern world. Why are an increasing number of young women choosing to freeze their eggs? What factors have contributed to the 50% decline in male sperm count over the last 40 years?
Okine takes viewers on an investigative journey into the world of fertility, spending time in laboratories to learn about the latest technologies that improve conception chances. Simultaneously, he has created “Sperm School,” a 12-week program designed to educate men about their reproductive health, ways to enhance sperm count, and the importance of their involvement in fertility discussions.
Join Matt Okine as he concludes Secret Science with an insightful and revealing look at male fertility, blending science and personal stories.
