Sperm Factor Fertility: Herbs to Support Sperm Health and Fertility
Presenter: Liane Moccia, RH(AHG)
Original Date: April 12, 2026
When people are having trouble conceiving, the focus is often on egg quality, ovulation, and uterine health. But the data shows us that sperm issues play a role in 40%-50% of infertility cases, and the current normal ranges of sperm parameters may not be optimal for achieving a pregnancy. An important piece of a holistic fertility plan is understanding how testosterone affects sperm production, as well as the herbs that can support healthy testosterone and sperm production. This session will focus on how testosterone influences spermatogenesis, the role of oxidative stress and antioxidants in sperm health and highlight evidence-based herbs to support sperm health and fertility. You’ll leave with practical herbal tools and insights to use in your practice.
