Swan, Ph.D., is one of the world\\u2019s 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\\u2019s and women\\u2019s reproductive health and the neurodevelopment of children. Please check out Dr. 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 By Shanna Swan, PhD, with Stacey Colino OUT NOW! Here is a link to the new study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36377... In this video we explore how endocrine disruptors, in everyday things we use, are altering our hormones and reproductive systems. We\'ve seen a massive decline in testosterone, fertility and other markers. Could this explain some of the social changes as well? 0:00 - New Findings 3:44 - What\'s causing this? 11:11 - Anogenital Distance 15:52 - Where does this all lead? 17:46 - Population Decline 25:40 - Addiction to plastic 29:07 - LGBTQ & Endocrine Disruptors 36:08 - What to do if you want kids 39:06 - Future research One important thing to note - products that don\'t contain phthalates and Bisphenol are more expensive. Services, like assisted reproduction, can only be accessed by those who can afford it. The ability to have a baby has become something of a class issue as well.

Swan\\nIn the tradition of\\xa0Silent Spring\\xa0and\\xa0The Sixth Extinction, an urgent, \\u201cdisturbing, empowering, and essential\\u201d (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) book about the ways in which chemicals in the modern environment are changing\\u2014and endangering\\u2014human 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\\u2014but the story didn\\u2019t 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?\\xa0Count Down\\xa0unpacks these questions, revealing what Swan and other researchers have learned about how both lifestyle and chemical exposures are affecting our fertility, sexual development\\u2014potentially including the increase in gender fluidity\\u2014and general health as a species. 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,\\xa0Count Down\\xa0is \\u201cstaggering in its findings\\u201d (Erin Brockovich,\\xa0The Guardian)\\xa0and \\u201cwill serve as an awakening\\u201d (The\\xa0New York Time'
