Men Need to Nourish Their Bodies for Sperm Quality and Fertility, Too! with Dr. Kelsey Duncan, ND
This week, we’re shaking up the fertility convo with something long overdue—a direct message to our partners. Joined by naturopathic doctor and fertility expert Dr. Kelsey Duncan, Victoria dives deep into why men’s health is critical in the fertility journey and how the male side of things is often overlooked, dismissed, or left unspoken altogether.
In this heartfelt and highly practical episode, Dr. Kelsey shares how her own unexpected health scare led her to transform her approach to fertility care—ultimately creating her whole-body, whole-couple method. She explains how stress, under-nourishment, and lifestyle choices can impact sperm quality just as much as they do ovulation and periods.
This episode is your nudge (or your not-so-subtle push) to get your partner listening, learning, and taking action. Because fertility is not just a woman’s burden to bear—it’s a shared responsibility.
Key Topics Covered:
-
Why sperm health matters just as much as egg quality
-
How male stress, lifestyle, and nutrition affect fertility
-
Kelsey’s personal story that led her into fertility work
-
The science behind sperm production and how to optimize it
-
The emotional toll of “doing everything right” while your partner’s uninvolved—and how to change that
-
Simple, supportive ways men can nourish their bodies for fertility success
