The PreConception Podcast: The Importance of Nutrition to Sperm Health

Ready to try for a baby, but concerned about low sperm count? You’re not alone. But there is good news. Proper nutrition is key for men who want to raise their sperm counts so they can raise healthy babies. 

Maternal factors such as hormone imbalance or an inability for the womb to support the pregnancy only account for about half of recurrent miscarriages. It’s clear, then, that other unknown factors apart from maternal health play a significant role in miscarriage risk. This lack of understanding has lead researchers to investigate whether the quality of a father’s sperm may be involved.

While it might seem like Dad’s biological job is done at conception, science shows us that a partner’s pregnancy and the birth of a child cause major biological changes for fathers, too.

As researchers discover more about the science of fertility, it’s clear that the biological role of fathers extends beyond the (important!) moment of conception. Men’s prenatal health has a deep impact on the health of pregnant partners and developing babies.

We formulated Beli Vitality for Men to meet these unique nutritional needs of men on their way to becoming fathers. Let’s walk the powerful path to pregnancy and parenthood together.

Beli is excited to have sponsored this podcast with Michael Frank, "What is Missing" and InfertileAF.
