Fertility has dropped more than 50% over the past 50 years worldwide and while some might think it’s an evolution problem, that’s not the case. The reality is that chemicals in our environment and unhealthy lifestyle practices are disrupting our hormones and causing reproductive havoc. This has resulted in decreased testosterone and sperm count increased miscarriage and an alarming decline in fertility. With reproductive health directly linked to overall health and longevity, this is a serious problem.
My guest, Dr. Shanna Swan, is a leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologist whose decades of research examine the impact of environmental exposures, including chemicals such as phthalates and BPA, on men’s and women’s reproductive health and the neurodevelopment of children.
You will walk away from this episode with a better understanding of what you can do to reduce your exposure to these harmful chemicals to protect your reproductive health and future generations.
