Men’s Fertility 101: How to Prepare Your Body for a Healthy Baby

Listen Later

In this episode of the School of Doza, we break down the science and strategies behind men’s fertility—what affects it, what improves it, and why it matters just as much as female fertility. Nurse Doza shares five actionable ways men can improve sperm quality, hormone health, and pregnancy outcomes using nutrition, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplements.

 

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Diet, especially Omega-3 intake, is critical for healthy sperm.

  • Yoga improves hormone balance, circulation, and sperm DNA integrity.

  • Excess weight and belly fat increase estrogen and reduce testosterone.

  • Supplements like fish oil, carnitine, and vitamin D can boost fertility.

  • Poor sleep reduces sperm concentration, motility, and hormone levels.

    FEATURED PRODUCT

    Zen, featuring bovine adrenal gland extracts, is designed to support adrenal function, helping lower cortisol and improve energy. Since stress and cortisol imbalance can suppress sperm production and hormone levels, Zen offers targeted support for one of the most overlooked areas of male fertility.
