Fertility For Men

Ultimate fertility investigation for men

FDX 33

The proportion of men at risk of requiring fertility treatment has grown significantly in recent years. Lifestyle, diet, age, and environment can all impact on the complications of a man’s ability to create healthy, strong and viable sperm capable of successfully fertilizing an ovum.  

Male fertility is not only just down to sperm and testosterone levels. It is the combination of numerous health and lifestyle factors that can present in an individual. Making it imperative to look at the bigger picture; considering the health and functionality of the body’s systems.  

Our Fertility for Men test is created to help assess the ability and dynamics of healthy sperm production (steroid hormone production). It will also help to identify any system dysfunctions which may impact male fertility. Using key markers that consider sex hormone production, stress, thyroid hormones, blood sugar management, key mineral nutrient status, and viral or toxic markers of concern.  

As a clinician, it is critical to offer the full picture to those looking to begin a family, with FunctionalDX fertility testing we look outside of the typical fertility hormone test markers to review the full health picture of your clients. Identifying areas of dysfunction that can impact on their fertility success.   This comprehensive test includes male hormone markers including prostate markers,  thyroid, autoantibody markers, homocysteine, Zinc, and metals, including Aluminum, levels of which have been implicated in male fertility issues.  Reveal more about your client’s health picture, is their body ready, willing and able to perform? Our FDX Fertility for Men assessment analyses 13 body systems, 7 accessory systems, 7 macronutrient systems, 14+ micro-nutrient deficiencies and over 40 clinical dysfunction assessments to provide the most advanced, comprehensive fertility reporting on the market today.
