In this episode, my guest is Dr. Shanna Swan, Ph.D., professor of environmental medicine and reproductive health at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Dr. Swan is the world’s leading expert on the harmful impact of chemicals in our food, water, cosmetics, and various household and consumer products on our hormones, and the consequences for fertility and overall reproductive health. She explains how exposure to phthalates and other endocrine disruptors adversely impacts fetal development, puberty, and the adult brain and body. We discuss the global decline in human fertility due to disruptive environmental toxins, such as pesticides, and certain foods and beverages we consume.We discuss practical strategies to minimize exposure to harmful chemicals, such as phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), BPS, and PFAS. This includes reducing disposable plastic use, making healthier food preparation, consumption, and storage choices, and selecting personal and household products that don’t contain harmful toxins. This episode allows you to assess your risk of exposure to endocrine disruptors accurately and empowers you to take control of your hormone health and fertility.Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/huberman LMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/huberman ROKA: https://roka.com/huberman BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/huberman Function: https://functionhealth.com/huberman Timestamps00:00:00 Dr. Shanna Swan00:02:58 Sponsors: LMNT, ROKA & BetterHelp00:06:49 Environmental Chemicals, Fertility, Hormones, Phthalates00:13:30 Phthalate Syndrome, Animal Data, Male Offspring00:19:11 Phthalate Syndrome in Humans, Pregnancy & Babies00:27:30 Hyenas; Phthalate Syndrome in Males00:32:49 Sponsor: AG100:34:22 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Mothers & Female Offspring00:39:03 Anogenital Distance & Sperm Count00:45:03 Sperm Count & Fertility00:49:24 Sponsor: Function00:51:11 Sperm Count Decline00:58:19 Sperm Quality & Pesticides01:04:12 Atrazine, Amphibians, Sexual Dimorphism, Behavior01:09:00 Preschoolers, Phthalate Exposure, Sexually Dimorphic Behaviors01:14:08 Tools: Lowering Exposure to Endocrine Disruptors, Fertility01:24:52 Tools: BPA, BPS, BPF & Can Linings; Drinkware; Plastics & Microwave01:30:07 Tools: Buying Organic; Skin Products, Fragrance; Sunscreens, Consumer Guides01:32:58 Funding01:34:31 Tools: Distilling Water, Shoes, Clothing, Food Sourcing; Building Materials01:40:12 Europe vs. US Chemical Safety, REACH Program01:46:20 Tool: Pregnancy & Fetal Health01:49:23 Plastics & Environmental Concern; Fertility 01:55:26 Sperm Quality, Fertility, Cell Phone, Temperature01:58:04 Other Animals & Fertility Decline, Ecosystems02:01:58 Advancing Technologies, Fertility, Offspring & Adverse Effects02:06:02 Tool: Consumer Guides, Personal & Household Products02:09:39 Tool: Receipts; Thyroid System; Non-Stick Pans02:15:18 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter Disclaimer & Disclosures Learn more about your ad choices.
