What is preconception health for men and why does it matter so much?
In the first episode of Dad Starts Now, host Nick West chats with Associate Professor Tim Moss — a biomedical research scientist and Health Content Manager at Healthy Male — to unpack what preconception health means for men, why it matters and what to do about it. They explore how a man’s health before trying for a baby can impact his fertility, his partner's pregnancy outcomes and even the long-term health of his future children.
You’ll learn:
- What preconception health is and why it’s relevant to all men thinking about having kids
- The biggest myths and knowledge gaps around male fertility
- How sperm health is measured (and why it’s more than just sperm count)
- Simple steps men can take today to boost fertility and improve outcomes for future children
