Sperm Boot Camp
Welcome to Sperm Boot Camp
Optimized sperm numbers and quality requires an good environment for sperm production to take place in along with the right genetic and hormonal inputs as well. The Sperm Boot Camp is designed to enhance the body's sperm production environment by addressing a number of key lifestyle risk factors and making sperm-friendly health recommendations that can have a positive impact on sperm numbers and quality.
Sperm Boot Camp focuses on non-medical, non-invasive interventions that can potentially benefit all men who are actively trying to conceive, whether their fertility testing (such as the semen analysis) have been normal or abnormal. This is a self-guided process where patients go through the Sperm Boot Camp patient portal on the website and identify risk factors for decreased sperm production. Recommendations are then given to help address these lifestyle-related risk factors to help improve the environment for sperm production. Most of these modifications can be undertaken by the patients themselves, but some (such as tobacco use cessation) can be assisted with the help of their primary medical care provider if needed.
To assist the Boot Camp, patients are encouraged to fill out a Personal Fertility Profile at the start of the process to help them to identify potential risk factors that pertain to them. This profile can then be printed out and brought to their male fertility evaluation so that their provider is aware of specific pertinent risk factors and can help answer any related questions that arise. The link to the profile is listed below:
In addition to identifying and providing information on lifestyle-related risk factors and social toxins, the Sperm Boot Camp website also gives patients information on lubricants which are not harmful to sperm, antioxidants which can be helpful for sperm quality, and recommendations for optimizing timed intercourse with ovulation.
