Preparing for Parenthood: Why Preconception Health Is a Team Effort
When couples decide to grow their family, the focus often falls on the woman’s health. Prenatal vitamins, yoga, and prepping for pregnancy are all wonderful steps to take—but pregnancy involves two people, and both have a vital role to play.
The Role of Men in Preconception
Sperm quality is just as important as egg quality when it comes to conception. Recent research has uncovered a startling trend: global sperm counts are on the decline, and if this continues, projections suggest we could hit zero sperm count by 2045.
This isn’t just a personal concern—it’s a societal issue with far-reaching implications. Without healthy sperm, even the most advanced fertility treatments won’t work. So, how can we address this?
Preconception Requires a 360° Approach
A successful preconception plan isn’t about a single fix, like taking prenatals or trying a specific exercise class. It’s a holistic effort that involves both partners committing to their overall health and well-being.
While much of the conversation focuses on egg quality and the ticking biological clock for women, men also face challenges. There’s a lot of misinformation and fear surrounding fertility, but the good news is that there are actionable steps couples can take together to improve their chances of conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy.
Breaking Generational Health Patterns
Taking a 360° approach to preconception isn’t just about conception—it’s an opportunity to address and break unhealthy generational patterns. Whether it’s poor lifestyle habits, chronic stress, or other inherited health challenges, this is your chance to set a new standard for health in your family.
