Your microbiome makes up so much of you. It’s no wonder it drives your health and therefore your fertility success.

It’s scary that the modern world is diminishing our microbiome health because of mass farming, pesticide use on the soil, pollutants, environmental chemicals and so much more.

But we do have the power to improve it vastly and reshape it.

Stubborn infections, parasites or viruses are very often playing a role in infertility or miscarriage, but once identified, we are able to treat and get the microbiome back on track to support implantation and a supportive environment to grow a baby. It takes time, it takes commitment, but it’s possible 🩵

Male fertility is far more than s***m count or a semen analysis.

DNA fragmentation.
Methylation.
Microbiome health (seminal, gut, oral)
Immune dysfunction.
Toxicity - Air pollution. Plastics. Alcohol. Drugs. Heavy metals.
Heat exposure
Presence of a Varicocele
Ageing
Genetics, and more…

All of these contribute significantly to his s***m health.

The s***ms’ health is literally a biological snapshot of a man’s overall health — and it will influence not only conception, but miscarriage risk, embryo development, and the future health of children.

Male fertility is a whole-body health issue.
Not just a reproductive issue.

Bacterios***mia is never “just” a semen issue.

You have to look at infection through a whole-body lens - especially the digestive (gut) microbiome, which underpins everything in male fertility and the immune system.

Clinically, most bacterial infections in the semen are associated with
• infertility
• miscarriage
• preterm birth
• oxidative stress
• DNA damage within the s***m head
• poor s***m parameters

Many men are completely asymptomatic.

Research has shown asymptomatic infections in a significant percentage of men presenting with infertility.

The more I do this work, the more I realise how little a semen analysis actually tells you.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s very helpful to have, as it can indicate or point us in the direction around where we need to support your health or investigate further.

Over 50% of my patients are told their semen analysis is normal or healthy, but when we investigate further, he is definitely contributing to the equation.

Even red flags on a standard semen analysis are often not picked up or missed by conventional medicine.

For example, he is told his s***m looks great, but there is a glaring red flag on his semen analysis that indicates there is likely infections present.

Infections can affect many semen parameters negatively, and be the cause of infertility itself. They can reduce s***ms ability to move fast. They can cause the egg to reject the s***m at implantation or fertilisation and they can even fragment the DNA within the s***m head.

The famous saying ~ your genetics load the gun and environment loads the trigger also rings true for having a baby ~ you really can improve your pregnancy success whilst at the same time positively influence the future health of your child. We see a continual rise in developmental disorders in children, spectrum disorders, but also increased diseases such as endometriosis, PCOS, Obesity and very sadly cancers. We know the health of the parents at conception directly correlates to the health of the child and their increased risk for developing health conditions later in life too. Now more than ever, optimizing your health preconception is so important 🧬🩸

If you are concerned you have Endometriosis, but don’t want to go through surgery, test this marker with your GP. Test it fasted in the morning to get the most accurate result 🩵

Interestingly, many surgeons are now denying surgery, unless the Endo is affecting the persons fertility - Endometriosis loves scar tissue and therefore the scar tissue created from surgery can escalate Endometrial tissue growth (Endo adhesions). We know surgery doesn’t fix anything - it often regrows back in a more proliferated manner. Having said this, some of my clients have told me their Endometriosis symptoms improved significantly post surgery, but its about supporting the environment and the health of their body, so the Endo doesn’t grow back more significantly.

Anyhow, the reality of the matter is, surgery is a big deal, and women can have low endometrisis, with difficult symptoms and not know if they have it. Testing CA-125 will give you an indication, and if this is paired with particularly heavy and painful periods, it’s might be worth working with a practitioner to ease your symptoms, particularly if you are wanting to get pregnant in the next year.

The problem is that iron is worsening Endo symptoms.

Firstly - bacterial infections are at the heart of Endometriosis or Adenomyosis - they are what drive the condition to develop in the first place.

When you take iron, bacterial infections use iron to thrive, survive and even replicate (grow).

The result of this - you are worsening the very thing that is triggering your Endo or Adeno.

Avoid iron and get tested.

Start treating the root cause, and often your iron markers on a blood panel will then normalise.

You are not ‘too much.’ This is how your body interfaces with your environment, and in order to heal your symptoms, you have to change the environment in which your symptoms developed. Its not always easy. People often won’t understand your choices, but this is what it takes to heal 🩵

I see this all the time.

I talk the female partner, and she says her male partners s***m is fine. He was told it was above average or good and that he wasn’t contributing.

A semen analysis is sadly pretty simple. It gives you a glance about how much s***m the man is making, whether it can swim fast, whether it’s shaped abnormally and how many are perfectly shaped.

However, when you really think about what the s***m is. It contains the genetic strands that go onto create life. The genetics dictate the health of the child, the ability for the child to grow into a healthy adult. S***m quality also affects the females experience through pregnancy, whether she might have a miscarriage, preterm birth, preeclampsia and more.

When you understand this, a semen analysis cannot give you that much information.

Plus, there has never not been a case where a male partner is told his semen analysis was good, and upon further investigation, I identified many Imbalances contributing. 🧬
