Male Infertility Crisis: the intersection of male fertility, sperm quality and nutritional health.


Listen Later

Male fertility matters, just as equally as females. And stressfully, following current projections, sperm counts are set to reach zero in 2045!

After all, they are 50% of the baby. So infertility does not solely rest on the woman’s shoulders, nor does miscarriage or recurrent miscarriage. Sperm quality impacts early pregnancy loss odds significantly.

Falling sperm counts in the last few decades are “threatening human survival” and leading to a fertility crisis. About 40 percent of infertility cases can be traced to male factors, such as sperm count, quality.

Sperm are easily damaged from lifestyle factors, and there are many factors that are known to interfere with sperm quality. 


Topics mentioned

  • The EARTH study. 
  • Dietary factors that lower and increase sperm counts
  • Modifiable lifestyle factors that have been show to increase sperm quality
  • Chemicals to avoid to improve sperm health
