Much attention is given to women and their level of nutrition before, during and after pregnancy. This focus on women making proactive choices to impact their reproductive health is rapidly being be matched by an emphasis on influences on male fertility such as nutrition, lifestyle, and supplementation.
Many studies have shown that fertility is 40% male factor, 40% female factor, and 20% unexplained. These facts quickly place the importance of male fertility on equal ground. Many of my male clients are referred to me so that we might attempt to make a change in their sperm count, quality, and motility. Although sperm is produced 24 hours a day 7 days a week it can take 72-90 days to generate mature sperm. I like to see men make proactive changes as early on in the game as possible. Even in men who receive the green light on their semen analysis, there is cause for making healthy, and at times aggressive, changes in their diet and lifestyles in order to conceive.
