🌱 Considering trying Veganuary this year?
Why not combine the challenge with supporting important scientific research in reproductive health?

🥼 The S.P.E.R.M. Study is coming to a close on 16th January, but we still have two spaces available for currently omnivorous men to take part. The study is investigating the effects of a plant-based diet on male reproductive health.

📧 For more information about what’s involved and how to take part, please email rduh.fertilityresearch@nhs.net before making any dietary changes.

✨ By taking part, you’ll be helping to advance research that could make a real difference to future reproductive health care.

🎙️ Exciting news from Fertility Exeter!

Our Senior Embryologist, Jo, was recently interviewed on the Nutrition Uncovered podcast discussing our ongoing research into male fertility and plant-based diets. 🌍💡

🎧 you can listen to the episode here https://spotify.link/NL0sH1POvXb

This important study is now in its final stages, and we’re looking for the last few participants:
👨‍🔬 3 spots left for control subjects — that’s someone who doesn’t change their diet but takes part in all the testing.
🥗 5 spaces left in January for full participants who will take part in the full dietary programme (you can, of course, join before January — but starting then means you can enjoy a flexible Christmas and kick off the new year with a health boost, with added support from national and international movements such as Veganuary 🌱).

After these are filled, recruitment will close, so if you’re interested in helping us advance fertility research, now’s the time!

📩 Get in touch at rduh.fertilityresearch@nhs.net to find out more or sign up.

Putting patients first means staying at the forefront of reproductive science 💙. Last week our embryologists Jo and Jess did just that — Jo helped run a national event in Birmingham focussing on further education in embryology and then presented preliminary findings from the S.P.E.R.M study at the Association of Reproductive and Clinical Scientists (ARCS) annual conference, with Jess joining her at both. We’re proud of their dedication to advancing science and patient care 👩‍🔬✨.
