In today’s episode of The Fertility Nutrition Podcast, we’re shifting the focus to male fertility — a topic that’s often overlooked but is equally crucial when trying to conceive.

Soumya, fertility dietitian and founder of Nourished by Soumya, dives into the science behind sperm health and why it deserves just as much attention as female fertility. From sperm count, motility, and morphology to the deeper (and often ignored) issue of DNA fragmentation, this episode unpacks what truly makes sperm “healthy” — and why these factors can make or break IVF and ICSI outcomes.

You’ll also learn how age affects male fertility, what Soumya commonly sees in Indian men (like low protein intake, sedentary lifestyles, and stress), and most importantly — how nutrition and targeted supplementation can dramatically improve sperm quality in just 2–3 months.

This episode is essential listening for:

• Couples planning for IVF or ICSI
• Women who want their partners to actively participate in the journey
• Men in their 30s and 40s who want to optimize their fertility
• Anyone curious about male prenatal nutrition and evidence-based sperm health strategies

👉 From zinc and vitamin C to CoQ10 and omega-3s, Soumya shares the nutrients that matter most — and how small, intentional changes in diet, sleep, and stress can transform fertility outcomes.

Fertility isn’t just a women’s issue — it’s a team effort. And today, we’re giving men the tools they need to show up with confidence.

🎧 Tune in now to learn why sperm health is dynamic, how it’s influenced, and what you can do starting today to improve it.
