How To Address Men's Reproductive Health (It’s a myth sperm doesn't decline with age!)

We’re digging into male factor fertility diagnosis and how to optimize pregnancy success.

Although we specialize in complex cases such as low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve and premature ovarian insufficiency, many couples are coming to us with both female and male factor infertility.

The Fab Fertile Method effectively addresses both male and female fertility conditions.

That is why we coach couples. It is not only about getting the female healthy for pregnancy – we must include the male partner to increase the chances of getting pregnant naturally.

So whether there is poor semen count, low motility, DNA fragmentation or low morphology, there are always specific tips to improve male fertility.

Remember, it is a myth that sperm does not decline with age.


In this episode, you'll learn about:

1. Functional reference ranges for the semen analysis to identify healing opportunities to achieve optimal fertility. We discuss count, motility, morphology, DNA fragmentation and more. (i.e. rushing to IVF is not the answer - in 70-80 days with targeted diet/lifestyle changes, we can see an enormous improvement in semen quality)
2. Diet/lifestyle and the impact on male fertility (i.e. the final word on alcohol)
3. Themes we see with male factor fertility
4. Environmental toxins and how to reduce exposure to improve male fertility
5. Supplement recommendations to optimize male fertility - Fab For Life Natural Fertility Collection https://fabfertile.com/collections/supplements
