The results weren't great—low motility and low morphology, and high DNA fragmentation—a scan confirmed I had a varicocele. I was offered surgery, but the success rates didn't fill me with confidence, and I wanted to try something else first.

I felt like I was the problem, and that's not an easy thing to carry. I was healthy in every other way, so it was frustrating to feel like my body was letting me down.

I worked with Julie for 5 months, having acupuncture and taking herbs. I didn't know what to expect, but I stuck with it.

After four months, I repeated my semen analysis and DNA fragmentation—and the results had improved significantly. Not long after, my wife conceived naturally. The whole process changed the way I think about my health. I went in hoping to fix one problem, but I came out with a much deeper understanding of how my body works.

We will be forever grateful to Julie.
