INSIGHT

Topical Oil Can Affect Local Androgen Activity

  • Cyperus rotundus oil has weak anti-androgenic effects and may reduce local DHT activity where applied.
  • Dr. Stephen Cabral recommends starting with very small amounts and proceeding with caution due to hormonal sensitivity.
INSIGHT

Paternal Age Tied To DNA Error Risks

  • Older paternal age (35–40+) correlates with modestly higher risks for autism, schizophrenia, and some genetic mutations.
  • Dr. Stephen Cabral links this to accumulated DNA replication errors and lifestyle-driven oxidative stress and methylation problems.
ADVICE

Improve Sperm Health Before Conception

  • Improve sperm health by reducing oxidative stress and optimizing methylation through diet, sleep, exercise, and targeted nutrients.
  • Dr. Stephen Cabral recommends zinc, vitamin C, methyl donors, and lifestyle changes to lower paternal risk.
