In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m bringing attention to a piece of the fertility puzzle that’s often ignored: sperm health.

So often, the focus is solely on the woman’s body—but male fertility plays a huge role in outcomes, whether you’re preparing your body for pregnancy or working to restore balance first. There’s a lot more to it than just sperm count, and today we’re getting into all the layers.

I’m walking you through:

• What sperm analysis really tells us (beyond just count)
• Markers like DNA fragmentation, morphology, and pH levels
• Lifestyle shifts, supplements, and gut support that can make a difference
• How stress, sleep, and emotional well-being affect male fertility
• Why masculine/feminine energy alignment in your relationship matters more than you think

This episode is part science, part heart, and a little summer fun—and it’s one I hope you’ll share with your partner or someone who needs to hear it.

✨ And a big thank you to Cozy Earth for sponsoring this episode! They make my favorite temperature-regulating sleep essentials that support deep rest (and yes—rest matters for sperm health, too).
