You're embarking on a very deep literature journey! I'm aware that the most common form of male and female infertility is rooted in insulin resistance. PCOS, and ED.
Ben Bikman covers female infertility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZCDl1NPk6g
And male infertility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgH1qsZKZs8 I posted my notes from this lecture on Lemmy https://hackertalks.com/post/5634787
What to do about insulin resistance? The fastest way to resolve insulin resistance is to not eat any sugar or carbs (a ketogenic diet). Eat a nutritionally complete diet (use something like cronometer to map it out), and you should see fast improvements in a few weeks/months.
Happy to provide more references and guides on request, just let me know how technical you want them to be.
The defacto medical text on ketogenic ( The Science of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction in Human Health) has a chapter on the endocrine impact the intervention. You can see a abstract here https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780128216170000103 . The book is very dense
You can check your last lipid panel to see if you have insulin resistance, the TG/HDL ratio is strongly related to insulin resistance, you want it to be less then 1, the lower the better. If your annual checkup measured fasting glucose as well as fasting insulin (uncommon) you could compute your homa-ir.
