• Podcast: Optimising Conception Outcomes | with Natalie Pickering

    May 16, 2025 1 min read

    In this episode of The MediHerb Podcast, naturopath Natalie Pickering sheds light on the often-overlooked role of men in the fertility journey.

    Natalie highlights the lack of attention paid to men’s health and sperm quality, particularly in cases where women are undergoing intensive fertility treatment without a full picture of their partner’s contribution.

    She emphasises that men are 50% of the fertility equation, yet are frequently under-assessed and under-supported in clinical settings. She discusses why it’s essential to engage men early, conduct proper screening, and consider the significant impact of sperm health on conception, pregnancy outcomes, and the health of future generations.

    Listeners will also hear practical insights into how sperm health can be rapidly improved with targeted herbal, nutritional, and lifestyle interventions—and why this presents a powerful opportunity for practitioners to shift the fertility paradigm.
