While some men do have a long-term issue with sperm quality, many find that they can make a significant improvement to their results by putting in a bit of effort.

Stop drinking out of plastic bottles, stop storing food in Tupperware containers - these can leech out chemicals that harm sperm development.
Acupuncture Helps Too!
It may come as a surprise, but hormone balance also plays a part in sperm production, FSH, LH, Testosterone and Prolactin are all important players when it comes to regulating sperm production. Acupuncture is an amazing therapy for the support of a healthy balanced hormone system and several studies clearly show how regular acupuncture can improve sperm health. If you would like to contact me to book a course of acupuncture to support sperm health, please get in touch. And just in case you are worried, I would like to reassure you that the needles will only go into wrists, ankles and lower legs!!
