Podcasts about imperiling

I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Shanna Swan, a renowned environmental and reproductive epidemiologist and author of Count Down: How Our Modern World is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race. We delved into the alarming decline in sperm counts and male fertility rates over the past few decades, exploring the environmental factors contributing to this trend and its implications for reproductive health. In this episode, we cover: The significant decline in sperm counts and male fertility rates observed globally. The role of environmental chemicals, such as phthalates and BPA, in disrupting endocrine function and impacting reproductive health. Lifestyle factors, including smoking, binge drinking, stress, obesity, lack of exercise, and heat exposure, that can adversely affect sperm quality. The importance of preventive measures and lifestyle changes men can adopt to improve their fertility. The broader implications of declining fertility rates on population health and future generations. Read the full show notes on my website. Find Dr. Shanna Swan's website and book information here.

The U.S. Agency for International Development has been closed down by the Trump team. Those who believe such aid can be an important tool for countering the immense influence operations of China, Qatar, and others working against our interests have always faced widespread public sentiment that our money would be better spent at home. Now, they must contend with growing evidence that USAID was a massive political slush fund for various radical leftist causes abroad and even here. Revelations that the agency, for example, underwrote a left-wing domestic media outlet, Politico, celebrities' visits to support Ukraine's president, “Woke” indoctrination, and feeding Hezbollah argue powerfully for a complete reboot. If assistance that can be an important foreign policy tool suffers enduring harm, the blame will rest squarely with those responsible for such abuses – like Biden's “radical lunatic” former AID Director, Samantha Power. This is Frank Gaffney.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. In announcing a so-called “ceasefire” in Lebanon yesterday, Joe Biden said it was “designed to be permanent,” not just for two months. That would guarantee Hezbollah's survival and enable it, over time, once again to threaten the destruction of Israel. Biden also declared that he was going to turn next to securing a ceasefire in Gaza. And why not? The diplomatic coercion and weapons embargoes used to euchre the Israeli government into stopping short of victory in Lebanon can be employed to save Hamas, too. Team Biden's disastrous Mideast policies have enabled and invited Iran's wars, putting the Jewish State in extreme peril. Unless President-elect Donald Trump mobilizes Americans who want Israel to win in demanding an immediate end to such betrayals of our ally, the successive victories being delivered to her enemies – and ours – may prove catastrophically irreversible. This is Frank Gaffney.

Brian and Kristin discuss the perplexing passage of Genesis 12:10-20 where Abram asks his wife, Sarai, to lie about being his wife before they enter into Egypt. He and his family have moved into "The Promised Land" and they experience an incredible famine that forces them to head to Egypt where there is food. We're shaking our heads over here and diving deeper into a story that has more meaning for our lives today than you might expect!

Until now, you probably haven't associated infertility with the collapse of our global population. From the U.S. to India, to South Korea, Canada, the U.K. and more, fertility rates are reaching critical levels. Humans now meet 3 criterias for being an endangered species. If that doesn't have you totally rattled yet, our guest today, Dr. Shanna Swan, epidemiologist best known for research she published in 2017 which set off alarms and caught the attention of major media and scholars around the world, joins Tom to highlight the many factors contributing to a 50% drop in fertility rates, testosterone, and reproductive function. Shanna's work quickly became the world's 26th most referenced scientific paper, and her latest book, Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race, delivers a less than optimistic view of guaranteed economic population collapse. The information Dr. Shanna shares brings up major concerns for the future of humanity as a species and for our current health. Chemicals leading to our extinction have some government incentivizing people to have sex and procreate. Women's education and rights to contraception, and urbanization are contributing to women's lack of interest in birthing 5 and 6 kids. Endocrine disrupting chemicals are nearly unavoidable as they're in what you eat, drink and breathe The under masculinization of males is an actual problem impacting their lifespan Lifestyle factors are part of this conversation and include obesity, stress, binge drinking, and poor metabolic health Shanna gives a masterclass on phthalates, a chemical found in plastics that make them softer, helps products be more absorbable, holds scent and color better in everyday products we're accustomed to using, and she shares a simple poem to help you identify safer recycled plastic options.

In the first part of this two-part episode, hosts Dr. Justin Dubin and Kevin Chu are joined by the esteemed Dr. Shanna Swan, an award-winning scientist and renowned thought leader in the field. With over 200 scientific papers and extensive media coverage, Dr. Swan brings her expertise to shed light on the alarming trends and potential implications for the future of human reproduction. They discuss Dr. Swan's eye-opening book, "Count Down: How Our Modern World is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race" and reflect on the recurring news articles highlighting the decline in sperm counts, emphasizing the relevance of this topic in today's world of declining fertility rates. As male fertility specialists, Justin and Kevin share their firsthand experiences of encountering an increasing number of patients with lower sperm counts. While acknowledging the ongoing debates and criticisms surrounding the data, they find the evidence compelling and raise concerns about the overall decline in health and its impact on fertility. They also emphasize the significance of environmental exposures and the need to critically examine their potential effects on health. They draw parallels with past misconceptions, such as smoking, and underscore the relevance of this conversation for both men and women, as it extends beyond male fertility to encompass broader implications for female health. Dr. Swan presents various perspectives and evidence, aiming to foster informed discussions among their audience.

Joe Biden's administration is about to further undermine Israel amidst a four-front war imperiling the Jewish State's survival – a war invited and fueled by his previous policies. Those included: support for the overthrow of Israel's elected government and open-ended appeasement and bankrolling of Iran's terrorist regime. Then, after Hamas murderously invaded Israel, Team Biden has increasingly acted to protect it, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Iran from decisive attacks by the Israel Defense Forces. Now, Benedict Biden is reportedly poised to sanction, and potentially incapacitate, an IDF brigade currently engaged in combat operations in Gaza, Lebanon, and the Golan over human rights abuses alleged by an apparent Iranian front group.  Coupled with $9 billion in what amounts to aid to Hamas awaiting final approval by the Senate, it seems clear that with friends like Joe Biden, Israel needs none of its other enemies. This is Frank Gaffney.

Dr. Shanna Swan visits Google to discuss her book "Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race". In 2017, Dr. Shanna Swan and her team of researchers completed a major study, finding that over the past four decades, sperm levels amongst men in Western countries have dropped by more than 50%. They came to this conclusion after examining 185 studies involving close to 45,000 healthy men. The result sent shockwaves around the globe—but the story didn't end there. It turns out our sexual development is changing in broader ways, for both men and women and even other species, and that the modern world is on pace to become an infertile one. How and why could this happen? What is hijacking our fertility and our health? Shanna's book unpacks these questions, revealing what Swan and other researchers have learned about how both lifestyle and chemical exposures are affecting our fertility, sexual development and general health as a species. Originally published in August of 2021. Visit http://youtube.com/TalksAtGoogle/ to watch the video.                                

Did you know that fertility rates have dropped 50% in the last 5 decades, and more and more people are requiring help to grow their family? Some are calling it "Spermageddon." I'm not one to run with fantastical headlines, but the truth is that we are facing an infertility epidemic. And, this is all heartbreaking for the people dealing with infertility, and for us as a society. Today, I'm honored to be joined by Dr. Shanna Swan on The Egg Whisperer Show to talk about this upsetting truth. Dr. Swan is one of the world's leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists and a Professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. An award-winning scientist, her work examines the impact of environmental exposures including chemicals such as phthalates and Bisphenol A, on men's and women's reproductive health and the neurodevelopment of children. She just recently published her book, “Countdown: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race.” We will be talking about the data and information that Dr. Swan has gathered, the environmental factors that are playing a role, and what we can do to reverse some of the impact. I hope you'll tune in and share this information far and wide. CountMeIn on changing this epidemic - and thank you for writing your eye-opening book, Dr. Swan.

In Israel, radical leftists are literally bringing the country to a standstill to stop the long-needed and reasonable judicial reforms mandated in last November's elections. Blockaded highways and now a general strike by transportation workers are endangering the country's economy and security. The Biden administration, which endlessly professes its commitment to democracy, has been supporting its ideological allies' efforts to block the sorts of governmental checks-and-balances foundational to our own constitutional Republic. It supports those who want the left-dominated Israeli Supreme Court effectively to make elected officials irrelevant, and would clearly welcome their toppling of Benjamin Netanyahu's government. Such interference in the internal affairs of our most important regional ally is not only reprehensible. It is also strategically reckless at a time when our mutual enemies are feeling emboldened to renew their efforts to destroy the Jewish State. Stand with Israel. This is Frank Gaffney. 

https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/declining-sperm-count-much-more-than  Is Sperm Count Declining? People say it is. Levine et al 2017 looks at 185 studies of 42935 men between 1973 and 2011, and concludes that average sperm count declined from 99 million sperm/ml at the beginning of the period to 47 million today. Levine et al 2022 expands the previous analysis to 223 studies and 57,168 men, including research from the developing world. It finds about the same thing. Source: Figure 3 here The “et al” includes Dr. Shanna Swan, a professor of public health who has taken the results public in the ominously-named Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, Threatening Sperm Counts, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race. Is Declining Sperm Count Really "Imperiling The Future Of The Human Race”? Swan's point is that if sperm counts get too low, presumably it will be hard to have babies (though IVF should still work). How long do we have? This graph (source) shows pregnancy rate by sperm count per artificial insemination cycle. It seems to plateau around 30 million. An average ejaculation is 3 ml, so total sperm count is 3x sperm/ml. Since sperm/ml has gone down from 99 million to 47 million, total count has gone down from ~300 million to ~150 million. 150 million is still much more than 30 million, but sperm count seems to have a wide distribution, so it's possible that some of the bottom end of the distribution is being pushed over the line where it has fertility implications. But Willy Chertman has a long analysis of fertility trends here, and concludes that there's no sign of a biological decline. Either the sperm count distribution isn't wide enough to push a substantial number of people below the 30 million bar, or something else is wrong with the theory. Levine et al model the sperm decline as linear. If they're right, we have about 10 - 20 more years before the median reaches the plateau's edge where fertility decreases, and about 10 years after that before it reaches zero. Developing countries might have a little longer. It feels wrong to me to model this linearly, although I can't explain exactly why besides “it means sperm will reach precisely 0 in thirty years, which is surely false”. The authors don't seem to be too attached to linearity, saying that “Adding a quadratic or cubic function of year to meta-regression model did not substantially change the association between year and SC or improve the model fit”. Still, the 2022 meta-analysis found that the trend was, if anything, speeding up with time, so it doesn't seem to be obviously sublinear.

Swan In the tradition of Silent Spring and The Sixth Extinction, an urgent, “disturbing, empowering, and essential” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) book about the ways in which chemicals in the modern environment are changing—and endangering—human sexuality and fertility on the grandest scale, from renowned epidemiologist Shanna Swan. In 2017, author Shanna Swan and her team of researchers completed a major study. They found that over the past four decades, sperm levels among men in Western countries have dropped by more than 50 percent. They came to this conclusion after examining 185 studies involving close to 45,000 healthy men. The result sent shockwaves around the globe—but the story didn't end there.

Engagingly explaining the science and repercussions of these worldwide threats and providing simple and practical guidelines for effectively avoiding chemical goods (from water bottles to shaving cream) both as individuals and societies, Count Down is “staggering in its findings” (Erin Brockovich, The Guardian) and “will serve as an awakening” (The New York Times Book Review).   HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD!  Please go to Apple Podcasts and give ACU a 5 star rating.

Ron Desantis protects children against gender “transitions,” and Biden reacts with an executive order reigning in “conversion therapy.” What gives? And which is the bigger infraction: Imperiling 3rd graders, or shunning the Constitution to do so? Will and Chris kick these ideas around and conclude that things are looking good for the Republicans this November.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Fertility and Infertility: less related than you might think, published by isabel on May 17, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Thanks to the Forethought Foundation for providing research support during the creation of this post. People are bad at naming things When people ask what I've been working on and I say that I'm looking into declining global fertility rates, they sometimes think that I'm talking about rising rates of infertility. Which makes sense as an interpretation – fertility is a very overloaded term! But the way that I (and most economists and biologists) usually use the term fertility is to discuss the rate at which children are actually born, rather than their potential for being born. Infertility refers to the inability of a heterosexual couple “to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse". So if there were widespread infertility in some group, this group would have low fertility rates, but low fertility rates are not necessarily indicative of widespread infertility. Note that fertility in this sense is usually talked about on a population level, and there are different measures that try to capture different relevant features of it. Two popular measures of it are the total fertility rate and completed cohort fertility. See my discussion of those in my earlier piece here .The term that gets closest to the opposite of infertility is fecundity, the “physiological potential to bear children” or “the biologic capacity to reproduce”. Once I clarify that I'm working on studying the decline in the rate at which people are having children, I get the follow up question: but is some of the decline in global fertility rates due to a decline in fecundity and an increase in infertility? TL;DR: Decreasing fecundity? This is a tricky question to answer, because there isn't one marker that can be used to evaluate fecundity, and so we have limited information on whether physical ability to conceive and bear children has changed over time. I won't address all possible measures of reproductive health here, and will instead focus on sperm, because when the question comes up, people are often referring to the results of this paper: Temporal trends in sperm count: a systematic review and meta-regression analysis (Levine et al, 2017) and the subsequent book by one of the authors on the paper, “Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race”. The paper does not draw a connection between falling sperm counts and global fertility decline, but the book does, claiming that "the dramatic decline in sperm counts is an important factor in the fertility slump that's being seen in many parts of the world". My conclusion from reading the paper, skimming the book and looking through the related literature, is that: there is evidence of a decline in global sperm counts, but the data is less clear cut than is often implied Levine et al. meta-analysis finds decline, but has issues I will discuss the evidence for sperm count and quality declines is strongest among sperm donors and among those seeking fertility treatments there are very limited studies comparing different points in time that don't fall into one of those two groups, but the ones that I've been able to find all find no decline this potential decline in sperm count is unlikely to have been a substantial driver of the global fertility decline the Levine et al. paper finds a decline in sperm counts specifically among Western men, but the countries from which the Western sample was drawn already experienced most of their fertility decline by the start of the sample, at a time when, according to the paper, sperm counts were high evidence that age-adjusted rates of infertilit...

What We Discuss with Dr. Shanna Swan: Why has sperm count among men in Western countries decreased by over 50 percent in the past four decades? What can increasing reproductive problems in the animal kingdom tell us about diminishing human fertility? The same chemicals that cause reproductive decline are responsible for the obesity epidemic. What are some of the best practices we can personally observe for recovering from some of the most common fertility issues we face? What steps can society take today to ensure we have enough of a population to constitute a society tomorrow? And much more...

Did you know that fertility rates have dropped 50% in the last 5 decades, and more and more people are requiring help to grow their family? Some are calling it "Spermageddon." I'm not one to run with fantastical headlines, but the truth is that we are facing an infertility epidemic. And, this is all heartbreaking for the people dealing with infertility, and for us as a society. Today, I'm honored to be joined by Dr. Shanna Swan on The Egg Whisperer Show to talk about this upsetting truth. Dr. Swan is one of the world's leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists and a Professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. An award-winning scientist, her work examines the impact of environmental exposures including chemicals such as phthalates and Bisphenol A, on men's and women's reproductive health and the neurodevelopment of children. She just recently published her book, “Countdown: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race.” We will be talking about the data and information that Dr. Swan has gathered, the environmental factors that are playing a role, and what we can do to reverse some of the impact. I hope you'll tune in and share this information far and wide. CountMeIn on changing this epidemic - and thank you for writing your eye-opening book, Dr. Swan.

Satellite images reveal that Saudi Arabia is building ballistic missiles with China's help. This could throw the Mideast power balance into flux, start a Mideast arms race, and may hurt the U.S. efforts to tamp down on Iran's nuclear ambitions. Iran and Saudi Arabia are bitter adversaries, and Iran itself recently engaged in missile targeting exercises. Where will it end? Senator Chris Murphy is the featured guest.

Why we have to stay ahead of where technology is going and go back to simple pleasures like board games, nature, and spending real time with our loved ones Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race by Shanna H. Swan and Stacey Colino How Dr. Ben defines wellness now compared to two years ago during his first interview on Wellness Force. What Is Wellness? The Truth Will Set You Free Power Quotes From The Show The Detrimental Effects of Over Exercising "I always say that 'health' is a four-letter word spelled 'w-o-r-k' and you have to be able to understand what empowers your genes to work efficiently and what makes your genes work harder. Exercise is phenomenal but if you work too hard than your genes are getting too dirty and they can't handle it and they start calling on other genes to support it and then they also get overworked and overburdened and you start breaking down." - Dr. Ben Lynch Dangers of Undiagnosed Histamine Intolerence "Histamine testing is inherently not very useful and that is why histamine tolerance is so undiagnosed. People literally struggle for decades; on average it goes undiagnosed for a minimum of 6 years. So people are struggling with all of these histamine-associated issues like sensitivity to Wi-Fi or perfumes and excessive irritability, difficulties falling asleep, headaches, exercise-induced asthma, eczema, psoriasis, diarrhea, chronic sinus issues, bloody noses, or ringing in your ears." - Dr. Ben Lynch Having a 'Nature First' Mindset "Humans need to always remember 'Nature first.' Anytime that you get stuck somewhere in your health, you need to come right back to the basics. Take off your shoes and socks and walk in nature. Walk on a forest floor, not grass that has been sprayed with chemicals. Go out in nature on a trail or step into the ocean or a lake. Just immerse yourself in Mother Nature and breathe that air; hopefully in a clean environment because that's where we came from, that's where we're going to end up again, and that's where we should be each day." - Dr. Ben Lynch Links From Today's Show  StrateGene® - Save 10% with the code 'JOSH' Seeking Health - Get 10% off of your order with the code 'JOSH' 353 Dr. Ben Lynch CV19 Truth Series: Protecting Your Health Freedom Dirty Genes by Dr. Ben Lynch Dr. Bruce Lipton 140 Chris Kresser Dopesick Official Trailer | Hulu Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams by Matthew Walker 297 Mike Mutzel: The Truth About Fasting 380 Mike Mutzel | Syndemic vs. Pandemic: What The Health Do We Do Now?

Friday, December 9th 8:00PM Eastern/ 5:00PM Pacific The Context of White Supremacy hosts the fifth and final study session on Shanna Swan's (PhD) Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race. Students of Dr. Frances Cress Welsing and her theory of White Genetic Annihilation will recognize the significance of this text. The foundation of Dr. Welsing's theory is that individuals classified as White represent less than 10% of the global population. Their minuscule numbers as compared to the non-white people of the planet motivate Whites to maintain and refine their System of White Supremacy. Swan's book examines the dropping fertility rates in North America and Europe. During last week's session, Swan continued to evidence that human pollution of the planet disrupts the health and well being of all species. She detailed the staggering increase in pharmaceutical drugs over the past half century. Sizable amounts of medication are entering the water system and disrupting the sexual activity and daily conduct of many animals. Swan also described the correlation between male and female fertility and overall health. Males with low sperm counts are more likely to experience heart disease and diabetes. Females diagnosed with infertility show an increased likelihood for certain types of cancer. #WelsingMoment #WhiteGeneticAnnihilation INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Invest in The C.O.W.S. - https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S.

Last week's section focused on "Gender Fluidity," the research of Alfred Kinsey and the growing diversity and confusion about gender identity and sexual behavior. Swan gingerly inserts that a number of chemicals disrupt sexual activity and genital development in people and other species. Swan included alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking as lifestyle choices that erode the health of parents and future offspring and can also impact the quality of male sperm. #WelsingMoment #WhiteGeneticAnnihilation INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Invest in The C.O.W.S. - https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S.

The foundation of Dr. Welsing's theory is that individuals classified as White represent less than 10% of the global population. Their minuscule numbers as compared to the non-white people of the planet motivate Whites to maintain and refine their System of White Supremacy. Swan's book examines the dropping fertility rates in North America and Europe. Last week's section focused on "Gender Fluidity," the research of Alfred Kinsey and the growing diversity and confusion about gender identity and sexual behavior. Swan gingerly inserts that a number of chemicals disrupt sexual activity and genital development in people and other species. Swan included alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking as lifestyle choices that erode the health of parents and future offspring and can also impact the quality of male sperm. #WelsingMoment #WhiteGeneticAnnihilation INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

Last week's session detailed that the pollution of the planet and dropping fertility of rates among people coincides with numerous species developing "abnormal genitals" and irregular sexual activity. Swan referenced the the science-fiction film, Children of Men, to emphasize the dystopian outlook with reduced fertility. She also incorporated film genius (and accused child molester) Woody Allen. With so many White Women having reproductive challenges, fertility clinics and reproductive aids are booming enterprises. #WelsingMoment #WhiteGeneticAnnihilation INVEST in The COWS – paypal.me/TheCOWS Invest in The C.O.W.S. - Cash App: http://Cash.App/$TheCOWS The C.O.W.S.

Negotiations continue on Capitol Hill over President Joe Biden's health agenda — along with a long list of other items. With Republicans on the sidelines, liberal Democrats delayed a House vote on a Senate-passed infrastructure bill to extract moderates' support for a social-spending bill that includes expansions of benefits for Medicare, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. Meanwhile, the Biden administration's new rules to prevent “surprise” medical bills pleases some health stakeholders and angers others. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Tami Luhby of CNN and Kimberly Leonard of Insider join KHN's Julie Rovner to discuss these issues and more. Also, Rovner interviews Anna Flagg of the Marshall Project about how a century-old report on medical education contributed to racial inequities that persist today.

One of the world's leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists and a professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, Dr. Shanna H. Swan recently authored the groundbreaking book Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race (with the award-winning writer Stacey Colino).  In this podcast, Dr. Swan shares empowering insights that can optimize influences on reproductive health, fertility, assisted reproductive efforts, and pregnancy outcomes. For example, you will hear how decreasing your exposures to endocrine-disrupting chemicals decreases risks in conceiving a child (including IVF outcomes), miscarriage, and birth defects. These EDCs are found in common household products, like plastic food containers, canned foods, and cleaning products.  You will also hear how your reproductive health can signal your current overall health and life expectancy. Listen for Dr. Swan's recommended solutions to protect your "sixth vital sign." — FERTILITY DETOX The ideal time to eliminate chemicals, heavy metals, and EMFs from your home, diet, self-care, and technology is before you conceive. The earlier you start detoxing, the better.  To learn more about Sophia's guided detox to optimize for fertility, assisted reproductive effots, and the best pregnancy outcome possible for you, then visit:  Fertility Detox with Sophia Ruan Gushée -- Click for podcast transcript at NontoxicLiving.tips -- Special Thanks to Chris Robertson, Practical Nontoxic Living podcast producer.

In this episode I provide a review of evidence on current issues surrounding increased infertility, decreasing sperm counts, and our exposure to harmful toxins in everyday life. I then discuss strategies we can employ to help rectify these unsettling trends. The evidence and information presented in this episode comes from Dr. Shanna Swan's recent book, Count Down: How Our Modern World is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race. 

Is human fertility declining? What is the cause and what can we do about it. Our guest is Dr. Shanna Swan, an award-winning scientist based at Mount Sinai Medical Center and one of the world's leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists. She is the author of Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race.In this episode, we cover: Is sperm count in human males declining?  Is this decline seen worldwide or just in developed countries?Is sperm count the only measure of sperm health that is declining? Are we seeing a change in sperm motility or morphology also?Do we see a change in the average testosterone level in men worldwide?Do we know what is causing the decline in sperm count? Do we see a similar impact on women's reproductive health?  And if so, how do we know?Could the decline in the fertility rate be, at least in part, the result of a general trend toward delayed childbearing, access to birth control, move from an agrarian society where large numbers of children were valued, etc.? Certainly, so in the western world but also so in developing countries where girls have the opportunity for education and employment.Has there been a reduction in the age of puberty in girls in the US. Worldwide?If we are comparing current sperm count of men on a country wide basis to past sperm count how do we know we are comparing apples to apples? Couldn't differences in studies techniques and who they studied account for the difference?Has there been an increase in gender fluidity?Has there been an increase in disorders of sexual development?Can exposures to environmental toxins impact human sexuality and gender identity?Can exposures in utero or childhood or adulthood that can impact sexuality and gender identity?What lifestyle factors negatively influence fertility?What environmental exposures affect fertility for both men and women and how do we avoid exposure? This podcast is produced  by www.CreatingaFamily.org.

May joins Chase on this special episode to answer four listener questions on the topic of relationships! Listen in as Chase and May discuss why busy entrepreneurs should build their work schedule around dedicated quality time with their partner instead of the other way around. They talk about exploration and independence as being two vital keys to keeping their own relationship fresh through the years. They also offer advice on communicating with a partner who gets out of hand or is acting inappropriately in a social setting, whether their behavior is a one-off or has been recurring for quite some time. Finally, Chase and May give their two cents on the question of the “right” time to have a baby and why it's extremely important to consider male fertility when having a conversation around childbirth.   Follow May @mayyazdi Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Use code CHASE20 at checkout to save 20% on a chiliPAD ME Sleep System with Chili Cool Mesh™ at https://chilisleep.com/chasechewning Use code CHASE15 at checkout to save 15% on a chiliPAD WE Sleep System with Chili Cool Mesh™ at https://chilisleep.com/chasechewning Use EVERFORWARD at checkout to save 15% on your purchase from Cured Nutrition at http://bit.ly/2RmXcja Get the book Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race by Shanna H.

Dr. Shanna Swan joins us today as we’re digging into why male and female fertility is declining and what you can do to improve your egg/sperm health. At Fab Fertile HQ we talk about the importance of eliminating exposure to environmental toxins. This is crucial for both male and female fertility. A 2017 study from an environmental and reproductive epidemiologist, Dr. Shanna Swan has found: Sperm counts have declined by more than 50% over the last 40 years. Current projections point to sperm counts reaching zero by 2045. Fertility rates are dropping by 1% each year. Miscarriage rates are increasing by 1% each year. Testosterone rates are decreasing by 1% each year. We’ve been using each other and our unborn children as guinea pigs for endocrine-disrupting chemicals and this experiment is taking a toll on our reproductive health and the future of the human race. This is a call to action and an urgent wake-up call. Learn how to protect yourself and avoid chemical exposure so that you can get pregnant naturally. I’m excited to welcome Dr. Shanna Swan. She is an award-winning scientist based at Mt. Sinai and one of the world’s leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists. Dr. Swan has published more than 200 scientific papers and has been featured in extensive media coverage around the world.

Recent studies raise the alarming question of the kind of dystopic scenarios about human infertility depicted in Margaret Atwood's "Handmaid's Tale," or the 2006 film, "Children of Men." Are these stories fiction or forecast? Sperm counts in men living in Western countries, according to one meta-analysis, have dropped by almost 60 per cent over the past half century. Science researcher Shanna Swan's book, "Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race," leads us into a discussion on male fertility.

Did you know that fertility rates have dropped 50% in the last 5 decades, and more and more people are requiring help to grow their family? Some are calling it "Spermageddon." I'm not one to run with fantastical headlines, but the truth is that we are facing an infertility epidemic. And, this is all heartbreaking for the people dealing with infertility, and for us as a society.   Today, I'm honored to be joined by Dr. Shanna Swan on The Egg Whisperer Show to talk about this upsetting truth. Dr. Swan is one of the world’s leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists and a Professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. An award-winning scientist, her work examines the impact of environmental exposures including chemicals such as phthalates and Bisphenol A, on men’s and women’s reproductive health and the neurodevelopment of children. She just recently published her book, “Countdown: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race.”   We will be talking about the data and information that Dr. Swan has gathered, the environmental factors that are playing a role, and what we can do to reverse some of the impact. I hope you'll tune in and share this information far and wide.

Dr. Swan describes how these array of hormone disrupting chemicals impact the development of the reproductive system during crucial periods in human biological growth, of particular concern, in the gestation period.

[Intro: 9:08] World-renowned environmental and reproductive epidemiologist Dr. Shanna Swan joins me to discuss her groundbreaking research identifying the causes and rate of rapid decline of fertility in the Western world, documented in her new book ‘Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race.’ Humanity is in peril. Along with the ecological devastation expanding industrialization has wrought on the global environment, another looming catastrophe has emerged in the past century that threatens the human species: rapid decline in fertility. The reproductive systems of females and males in industrialized, particularly Western, nations have seen a precipitous drop in the ability to conceive and bear children. From falling sperm counts and testosterone levels in males, and early menopause and cysts in the ovaries of females, the reproductive systems in human beings have dramatically changed for the worse over the past several decades. Dr. Swan has identified several of the main culprits in this ongoing trend, namely the absorption and ingestion of various endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in countless materials we interact with daily: phthalates from plastics and numerous hygiene products; Bisphenol A found in hard plastics and electronics; flame retardants in furniture; and pesticides in foods — just to name a few. Dr. Swan describes how these array of hormone disrupting chemicals impact the development of the reproductive system during crucial periods in human biological growth, of particular concern, in the gestation period. The potential outcome of all this is dire and stark. As highlighted in her book, and cited in the New York Times article ‘The Everyday Chemicals That Might Be Leading Us to Our Extinction’: "From 1973 to 2011, the total sperm count of men in Western countries dropped by 59 percent." (https://nyti.ms/3dDYTDk) Based on the findings of her research, she stated in a recent interview with The Guardian: "If you follow the curve from the 2017 sperm-decline meta-analysis, it predicts that by 2045 we will have a median sperm count of zero. It is speculative to extrapolate, but there is also no evidence that it is tapering off. This means that most couples may have to use assisted reproduction." (https://bit.ly/3arMGQ7) Of course, there are several important things that can be done to reverse this trend, which she outlines in this interview. Shanna H. Swan, Ph.D., is one of the world’s leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists and a professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. An award-winning scientist, her work examines the impact of environmental exposures, including chemicals such as phthalates and Bisphenol A, on men’s and women’s reproductive health and the neurodevelopment of children.

Is the human race on the verge of extinction? That's the jaw-dropping claim made in Professor Shanna Swan's new book ‘Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race'. According to the book, sperm counts have dropped almost 60% since 1973 and suggests that they could reach zero by 2045, which would mean no more reproduction and no more babies.This is a worrying discovery, particularly as one of the central drivers of this trend is modernity itself; Swann argues that chemicals, ranging from ATM receipts to Tupperware plastic, in the modern environment are altering —and endangering — human sexual development, and is getting worse by the year.Even if you find this argument a little too extreme (as UnHerd columnist Tom Chivers does), Prof Swan is certainly worth listening to. Having devoted over 20 years of her career to the study of sperm, the epidemiologist is about as well-credentialed as they come and has made a fascinating contribution to the debate. We thank Prof Swan for her time and hope you enjoy the discussion. Key quotes below:On plummeting sperm count:What we found was that sperm count had to climb dramatically over the preceding 40 years, and was at a point where nearly half of men would be entering that range of sperm count, which is associated with sub-fertility at least. We didn't see any indication that the slope of that line had levelled off, so that when we looked at the data restricting it to the past 30 years, 20 years, 10 years, you might hope that it would be flattening out. But we didn't see any indication of that, which is alarming, because if it were to continue on its present course — that's a difficult thing to project — but just mathematically, if you've extended the line, it does hit zero in 2045. So that's the median sperm count, that means half of men would have no sperm. On declining population figures:It is true that the being below replacement, the value of 2.1 children per couple is more common in Western countries. And in Asian countries, that's where it's most severe. The lowest point I believe, has been reached at 1.0 children in Korea, just recently. But, that's the rate of decline. Since 1960, of the most populous countries has been greatest, they are also declining, and declining faster. So it's going on everywhere and it's a problem. On phthalates (a group of chemicals):Phthalates are interesting because they have the ability to lower testosterone. They're called anti-androgens: they lower the androgens and testosterone is one of those. And so if the pregnant woman is exposed to phthalates in early pregnancy, these phthalates can reduce foetal testosterone at a critical time for male genital sexual development. This was first shown in rodents, and it was so striking that it was named the phthalate syndrome. On where these chemicals are found:These chemicals affect the body's hormones. Phthalates affect androgens, and bisphenols, which makes plastic hard and line tin cans — they are oestrogenic, which also affects reproductive function. There are other chemicals; for instance, we showed in our study that men with exposure higher levels of pesticides, in mid Missouri had much poor semen quality. Other chemicals set in flame retardants in your Teflon pan, in lots of things in your home, your wall coverings and floor coverings. And food is a really major source. On transitioning:It feels like there's an increase, but we don't have that data. So in the past it could have been there and completely unrecognised and un-talked about. What we do say is that disorders of sexual development, the actual alterations in the genitals — those are caused by environmental chemicals. And there's many examples of that in rodents, fish, and frogs. So many species have, for example, ovaries and testicles in the same organism, right? So there's no question that chemicals can change and make these developments atypical, but what the animals would prefer, what gender they would choose, if they could — how would we know that? On how to limit chemical exposure:You could choose products that are stored in glass. And I would recommend that you not store them in your home in plastics. And certainly you do not heat them in plastics. Heat and plastic is a really bad no, no. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
