In this post, I’m sharing five key things men should avoid to improve sperm health and boost fertility. From lifestyle choices to environmental factors, these simple changes can make a big difference in your chances of conceiving. If you're on the fertility journey, it's time to start taking sperm health seriously—and this guide will show you how.

From cutting out processed foods to understanding the role of genetics and taking the right supplements, these are the real, no-nonsense steps that can make a difference on the road to fertility. If you're navigating your own fertility journey, this is the advice you don’t want to miss.

In an instant, I went from fear to disbelief, from years of trying to hope to finally hearing the words I had prayed for: "You’re pregnant." This is the story of that life-altering call and the overwhelming emotions that followed.
