Fertility Focus: Men

sperms-meet-eggI’m sorry to say it, guys, but its true: you are part of the fertility equation. In fact, you have just as much influence over conception, miscarriage and baby’s health as your partner. The good news is that you have enormous potential to change your fertility! Did you know that every three months you get a totally new crop of sperm? That’s right! Unlike women, who are born with all of the eggs the will ever have, you make new sperm constantly! Read to learn some simple things you can do to change your fertility, an excerpt from my book, Your Fertility Program.

Simple Steps to Support Sperm Health-Protect Your Sperm DNA

  • Avoid bottled water in plastic containers
  • Reheat foods and drink hot liquids in glass, ceramic or enamel containers-NOT plastic
  • Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly to remove herbicide and pesticide residues
  • Eat organic vegetables/animals and grass-fed meats whenever possible
  • Avoid eating fish species known to have high levels of mercury
  • Buffer your exposure to chemicals with a diet rich in antioxidants
  • Soy contains plant-based estrogens (phytoestrogens) so it should not be the main source of protein in a man’s diet

 

Lastly, get specific treatment! Take herbal formulas and nutritional supplements to change your semen health! There is so much research on changing semen analysis results such as zinc supplementation to raise sperm count. I tailor my prescriptions based on semen analysis results (and I can order these tests if they have not been done yet) AND traditional Oriental Medicine diagnosis to achieve the best results possible.
