A printed lifestyle booklet is included with every medication order. It covers key areas like sleep, diet, exercise, and stress management—all of which support hormone and fertility health.

To support sperm production and quality, apply these specific fertility-focused strategies:

Sperm Health Tips

  • Avoid heat exposure: Steer clear of saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and tight underwear. Excess heat impairs sperm production.

  • Limit alcohol: Regular drinking reduces testosterone and sperm quality. Minimise intake or abstain during treatment.

  • Stop smoking: Cigarettes lower sperm count, damage DNA, and reduce motility.

  • Manage stress: Chronic stress can impact hormone levels. Use techniques like meditation, deep breathing, and regular exercise.

  • Avoid anabolic steroids: They suppress internal testosterone and sperm production.

Key Lifestyle Foundations

As outlined in the booklet, fertility outcomes improve when these areas are addressed:

Nutrition

  • Prioritise a whole-food diet with lean protein, vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats

  • Ensure micronutrient intake, especially zinc, vitamin D, folate, and omega-3s

  • Minimise processed food, seed oils, and added sugars

Exercise

  • Combine resistance training with light cardio

  • Avoid overtraining or intense endurance activity, which may suppress fertility hormones

Sleep

  • Aim for 7–9 hours of uninterrupted sleep

  • Maintain a consistent sleep schedule

  • Dark, cool room and reduced screen time before bed help improve sleep quality

Environmental Toxins

  • Limit exposure to plastics (BPA), pesticides, and heavy metals

  • Store food in glass or stainless steel and use natural cleaning products
