Male Fertility Matters Too: Common Myths and Facts
Man looking solemn
When it comes to fertility, the conversation too often centres solely on women. But the reality? Male fertility accounts for nearly half of all conception challenges.
Myth 1: "If I can ejaculate, I must be fertile."
The truth: Fertility isn’t just about the mechanics—it’s about the biology. A healthy ejaculation doesn’t guarantee healthy sperm. Sperm count, movement (motility), shape (morphology), and DNA integrity all affect your fertility potential. You can feel perfectly fine, but still have underlying sperm issues that need support.
Myth 2: "Fertility problems are usually on the woman’s side."
Let’s clear this up: Male fertility factors are involved in roughly 40–50% of cases. Yet, many men delay testing or support, missing early opportunities to make impactful changes—especially through nutrition and lifestyle.
Myth 3: "Men don’t have a fertility clock."
Actually: As men age, sperm quality declines, particularly after 40. DNA fragmentation increases, which can affect fertilisation, pregnancy success, and even the health of future children. Nutrition is one of the most effective levers for preserving sperm health.
Where Nutrition Comes In
At the Bubba and Me Club Clinic, our fertility nutrition service empowers people to take proactive, positive steps toward reproductive wellness. Our resident nutritionist, Kat, builds individualised nutritional plans to help enhance key fertility markers like sperm count and motility.
Nutritional Foundations of Male Fertility:
Zinc (pumpkin seeds, oysters) – supports sperm production
Selenium (Brazil nuts) – boosts motility
Omega-3s (salmon, flaxseed) – improve membrane fluidity
Folate (leafy greens) – reduces DNA damage
CoQ10 and antioxidants (berries, pomegranate) – enhance overall sperm quality
We also guide clients in reducing exposure to sperm-damaging factors, including processed foods, alcohol, smoking, stress, and environmental toxins.
Emotional Strength Counts Too
Fertility struggles can leave both men and women feeling frustrated, helpless, or even invisible in the process. It is important to make sure that you are taking care of your mental health throughout this process.
