You’ve tracked your cycle. You’ve cleaned up your diet. You’ve done the DUTCH test. You’ve optimized your hormones. And yet… still waiting on that positive pregnancy test?
Let’s talk about the OTHER 50% of the equation: HIM.
I know, I know—male fertility doesn’t get the same attention. But the reality? Men’s bodies respond to change faster than women’s, and the right shifts can have a massive impact on sperm health. The best part? It’s usually not about adding more—it’s about taking the right things away.
So, where do we start? Here are the BIGGEST hidden culprits behind low male fertility:
1️⃣ Endocrine Disruptors That car air freshener? The heavily scented body spray? Those sneaky chemicals are tanking testosterone and sperm quality. One of my clients had her husband ditch the artificial fragrances, and just weeks later, she noticed a big difference (yes, in that way).
2️⃣ Toxic Food & Drinks Gas station snacks and energy drinks? They’re loaded with chemicals that mess with hormones. A switch to cleaner options (plus more protein—think caveman-style eating!) can make a night-and-day difference.
3️⃣ Environmental Exposures If your partner works around chemicals, oils, or industrial materials, his skin is absorbing toxins daily. Protective gear is a must. One client’s husband worked in a mechanic shop, changed a few key habits, and within weeks, their fertility outlook totally shifted.
4️⃣ The Gut-Hormone Connection A messed-up gut means messed-up hormones. I’ve seen parasites, Candida, H. pylori—things men brush off as “normal” bloating or stomach issues. If his gut isn’t right, his hormones won’t be either.
🚨 The Next Step? Test, Don’t Guess. 🚨
If you’ve made these changes and still feel like something’s off, it’s time to get serious. The truth is, regular fertility check-ups often miss key hormone imbalances. That’s where DUTCH testing + Gut testing comes in. They give us the full picture—no more guessing, no more wasted time.
