Why sperm counts are projected to fall to zero by 2045

Testosterone levels have dropped by 1% per year since 1982. And the miscarriage rate is increasing by 1% per year. ⁠

🤯 Why?!? ⁠

The tens of thousands of new synthetic chemicals in our food, make-up, cologne, cleaning products, shampoos...and our air fresheners, rugs, curtains, couches, bookshelves, cookware, and mattresses. ⁠ ⁠

85,000 different chemicals have been created for use in commercial products, but there is very little regulation, research on their health effects, or effective bans when negative effects are discovered.⁠

I THOUGHT I had a lot to say about the way our home interiors interacted with our reproductive systems until I read Dr. Shanna Swan’s new book “Countdown” this month, which is where all of the facts above come from. ⁠It's a gripping and incredibly important read.⁠

So much more about the facts coming soon, as well as what we can do to start tackling this problem in our own homes.
