In Mannen die zwijgen, Vanheste examines the stigma surrounding male fertility problems, exploring potential causes and treatments. Do healthier lifestyles really improve sperm quality, and do hormone disruptors reduce sperm count?
Through conversations with scientists, doctors and writers, Vanheste explores the topic of male infertility in a direct and insightful manner.
