How your partner's sperm health impacts placental development, risk of miscarriage & baby's health
Sep 07, 2025
Today I pull back the curtain on an often-overlooked aspect of fertility: your partner’s sperm health. In this episode, I dive into how sperm quality can profoundly influence placental development, affect the risk of miscarriage, and shape your baby’s long-term health. You’ll also discover why hearing “everything is normal” from your doctor isn’t always the final word and why traditional labs miss the subtle, yet important, nuances hidden beneath the surface, especially in men who appear healthy and do all the right things.
Episode Highlights:
- Nora is back from her summer break and shares what’s new — including an exciting return of one of her fertility coaching offers.
- Why men’s sperm quality and quantity are declining, and what does it mean for fertility? Nora digs into the surprising factors most people overlook.
- Sperm does more than deliver DNA, discover its hidden role in shaping early pregnancy from the very start including the placenta
- Could poor sperm health be quietly contributing to miscarriage risk? Nora unpacks the science you may not have heard.
- Practical steps you can take right now: how advanced testing and a deeper look at “optimal health” (not just normal ranges) may transform fertility outcomes.
