SPERM HEALTH TIPS ⬇️ If you’re “training

SPERM HEALTH TIPS ⬇️

If you’re “training for pregnancy,” sperm health matters more than most couples realize.

Sperm take about 70–90 days to develop, so the habits and nutrients in the months before conception can directly influence fertility and early embryo development.

✨ Food always comes first.
A nutrient-dense diet with enough protein, seafood, quality fats, fruits, vegetables, and key minerals like zinc and selenium builds the foundation for healthy sperm.

But supplements can provide an extra layer of support and protection, especially when it comes to oxidative stress (one of the biggest threats to sperm health).

💊 The supplement I’m having my husband take includes a few ingredients with interesting research behind them:

• N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) → supports glutathione production and helps protect sperm from oxidative damage
• Alpha lipoic acid → another powerful antioxidant studied for improving sperm motility and quality
• Lycopene → an antioxidant found in tomatoes that may support sperm morphology
• Ashwagandha → studied for supporting testosterone and sperm parameters in some men

It also includes antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and a probiotic blend to support gut health—which can influence nutrient absorption and inflammation.

Because if pregnancy is the goal, both partners preparing matters 👀

The top proteins for pregnancy do 2 things well:
1. they help you meet your higher protein needs
2. they pack in key micronutrients needed for baby’s brain, growth, blood supply, bones, and more.

Think protein *plus* choline, iron, iodine, DHA, vitamin D, vitamin A, zinc, calcium, and B12.

Confused about what to eat for the next 9 months??

Have you ever reached for a CGM then accidentally grabbed the sour gummy worms instead? 😆

I was trying to figure out what to share today and this felt so real life i couldn’t not share 🤣

I’m starting my @stelo CGM experiment tomorrow! 📆
I’ve worn one in the past (not Stelo) and gained meaningful insights, so I’m excited to do it again.

I do not have diabetes but I am using it to (1) test out the tool (2) better understand my glucose response to certain foods, activities, and sleep in order to optimize my health (esp in a “training for pregnancy” season of life)

✨ The yolk is where you’ll find choline, one of the most important nutrients for your baby’s brain development. It also contains vitamin D, B vitamins, selenium, and fats that support hormone health and nutrient absorption.

Egg whites are mostly protein. Helpful, yes ✔️ but they’re not the nutrient powerhouse people think they are on their own.

👉🏼 During pregnancy, whole eggs are one of the easiest, most efficient foods you can eat. One egg provides about 150 mg of choline, and needs during pregnancy increase to about 450 mg per day.

And this is exactly the kind of small nutrition shift that can make a big difference during pregnancy.

🌸 I’ll be opening the 30-Day Pregnancy Nutrition Reset soon, where you’ll:

• Regain momentum with nutrition once you’re past any first-trimester woes
• Learn the highest-impact, easiest nutrition strategies to support optimal baby development
• Improve your energy and feel confident you’re gaining a healthy amount of weight for you!

If you’ve been wanting a clear, realistic plan for pregnancy nutrition, comment RESET (or DM me) to get on the special early-bird list 💕🤰
