S2E3: Future Dads, Listen Up: How Your Health Impacts Pregnancy, Mom, and Baby—Starting Before Conception (#38)

Conception isn’t just about the person carrying the baby! Think it's all on mom? Think again—this episode breaks down how a future dad’s health, especially semen quality, can influence conception, pregnancy outcomes, maternal health, and even baby’s long-term well-being.

In this episode, we talk about…

• How sperm health impacts fertility and baby’s long-term health
• How semen quality impacts mom
• Key factors affecting sperm health & fertility like nutrition and supplementation, sleep and stress, substance use, environmental toxins and lifestyle factors
• Timing and planning to implement these changes
• And my husband’s specific preconception protocol
