Fertility Myths Debunked: Dr. Aumatma Simmons on Overcoming Infertility and Environmental Toxins · Non-Toxic Living

• 0:00
  We're all being lied to, right? Fertility doesn't have a cliff.
• 0:03
  Yes, it will decline over time, but there's no drastic cliff.
• 0:07
  It wasn't the women that were the problem in fertility.
• 0:12
  The reality is that most people that are labeled as infertile are not actually infertile.
• 0:20
  They are...
• 0:21
  There's lawsuits against Nike and Athleta because they didn't disclose the BDA in their clothes, right?
• 0:28
  So that's that's kind of sad, right? And we can get into polyester underwear causing infertility
• 0:33
  as well because there's a electrical charge that happens that stops motility, there's the
• 0:38
  microplastics, there's the heat, so there's a big issue. BPA is a hormone mimic,
• 0:43
  you talked about estrogen mimics, BPA is one, BPS is one, so if you're wearing this stuff,
• 0:48
  fellas, the underwear itself, it's like the triple whammy.
• 0:51
  You are a male out there struggling with fertility, one of the fastest hacks to increase sperm
• 0:57
  production. You're one of my favorite humans, you're always happy, you're always willing to
• 1:07
  help and share and I'm so glad to have you on the show today. We've talked about toxins and
• 1:12
  fertility and we'll get into a little bit of that today, but before we do, especially male fertility,
• 1:16
  which has kind of been puts under the rug a lot of stuff going on there, right? No one wants
• 1:22
  to admit that it could be you, but we'll get into that. So tell me a little bit about your story,
• 1:26
  you are a fertility expert, how did you come to this niche? I was married to this man who wanted to
• 1:33
  have babies and every time he talked about having a child, my uterus would literally go,
• 1:39
  God, no. Yeah. And I was like, oh, shit, he got married the wrong person, what's happening?
• 1:46
  And I like never had thought about it before he started talking about it. So it was, I wasn't one
• 1:52
  of those people that was like, oh, I want to be a mother, I want to be a mother, I was like,
• 1:55
  one day maybe we'll see. Yeah. And I ended up starting researching what I could do for my fertility
• 2:03
  because I was like, well, if I want to have a child ever, then I should go and figure this out
• 2:09
  because I'm getting to that point where this was in my early 30s. I was at the point where I was
• 2:15
  like, it's what I've learned in medical school is that fertility will drop off of a cliff in just
• 2:21
  a few years. So when he started talking about it, I was like, well, if it's not him, but I want to
• 2:28
  have a child, then I need to a get a divorce, then find another guy, then see if we want to have
• 2:35
  children. Like, this is a long path. Yeah. So I was like, well, at the rate that I've been going,
• 2:44
  this is not going to happen. So let me figure out what I can do for my fertility. And as I went down
• 2:51
  that rabbit hole, I just realized that A, we had been lied to in medical school. We're all being
• 2:58
  lied to, right? Fertility doesn't have a cliff. Yes, it will decline over time, but
• 3:03
  there's no drastic cliff. I traced that myth all the way back to the 1800s, not based in science,
• 3:10
  but in churches, they realized in French churches that women were not coming to get their children
• 3:18
  baptized after the age of 35. So they assumed that it was a fertility drop off, which in the 1800s,
• 3:26
  like what fertility job out like, how long were women living back then, right? So that's what
• 3:32
  went through my head. And sure enough, research is now coming out. And I still think this needs
• 3:38
  way more research. But what they've realized is there's only a 3% drop off between 25 to 29 and 35
• 3:45
  to 39. So 3% drop off is very different from a cliff that you can never come back. Oh,
• 3:51
  there's so much pressure. I need to have a baby, you know, and it doesn't need to be that way.
• 3:56
  Because it's not a cliff. I love that. Exactly. So that took a lot of the pressure off for me.
• 4:01
  And I did end up getting a divorce and then finding the right person and waiting and finally
• 4:07
  having a child at 38. So it did happen. Yes. With the right person. Thank God. Was your first husband
• 4:13
  a medical doctor? No, he wasn't. He wasn't. He was a, he was into health, though. He had been
• 4:19
  coaching with Dr. Gabriel Cousin. So he was. Oh, that's big time. Really. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But
• 4:26
  it just wasn't like it was a great fit on paper, but just not a great fit in real life. And then
• 4:33
  like my uterus screaming is like a really weird response, right? So I'm a believer in intuition
• 4:40
  and all that. And I was like, I think it's one of the greatest powerful gifts and women use it
• 4:44
  more than men. Yeah. But I think at IH and become more wise and I intuition is something you
• 4:51
  need to listen to. Absolutely. Absolutely. So that's kind of, so that was the beginning. And it was
• 4:56
  mostly for myself. So I had been doing all this research, like putting the pieces together.
• 5:02
  And then like as I started talking to my friends about it, they were like, oh my god, I know
• 5:08
  someone who's struggling. I know someone who is struggling. I know someone. So they just kept coming
• 5:12
  to me. And I was like, you guys, this is like not I just have theories about all of this, right?
• 5:18
  Like I haven't done anything in real life. They're like, I don't care what you're saying makes sense.
• 5:23
  Do your thing. And I was like, okay, sure. So we started. And within that had been trying and
• 5:31
  struggling couples, I should say that had been struggling for two, three, four years were getting
• 5:37
  pregnant. And a few months, they were staying pregnant, which is a whole different scenario. Yeah.
• 5:43
  And it just like, I just got hooked. It's like, how do you, how can you not, right? Like,
• 5:50
  you're bringing babies into this world. Yeah. And I'm a, I'm a baby lover. I love babies. I
• 5:56
  loved children. I never would have thought because I wasn't raised with a big family. I was,
• 6:00
  my brother was a lot older than me. So I didn't have, you know, I never thought I'd be a good
• 6:04
  dad or love being a dad and didn't want to have a lot of kids. Now, I wish I had like five.
• 6:08
  My wife wanted to have a bunch and she doesn't want to have anymore. And neither do I.
• 6:12
  It's three's enough. But it's, it is one of the most fun things to have a healthy baby that's
• 6:17
  smiling in the sounds and the, in the sassiness and like all of it. They're so, they're precious.
• 6:23
  Yeah, they're so precious. It is. And so many friends, you know, the fertility challenges.
• 6:28
  They're obviously turned from pain and to, and to good things that help them,
• 6:32
  help their marriages. If you can push through, you know, all those challenges lead somewhere
• 6:36
  beautiful. But it's also nice to live out your dreams of having a family and we're designed
• 6:43
  for community and like a lot of those religious back in the day, they took away a lot of the tribal
• 6:49
  living in communities and ancient wisdom that, that once was powerful when it comes to raising
• 6:53
  children in fertility. And I've, we've talked about that on other podcasts. And, uh, but I'm excited.
• 6:59
  Let's, let's talk about how, you know, we can become more fertile in this infertility epidemic.
• 7:06
  We know that microplastics lowers sperm counting and there's so many things. Yeah, so many things.
• 7:11
  So for those folks watching, we do want to tackle this fertility topic. I think we'll start with
• 7:17
  male fertility. Why is it a problem? And what are some of the solutions that we could discuss today?
• 7:23
  I realized very early on in my career that it wasn't the women that were the problem in fertility.
• 7:32
  No shoot. What? It's men. No, no, it's, it's actually both, right? Like there are so many factors
• 7:41
  that are happening on both sides. And I think the reality is that most people that are labeled as
• 7:49
  infertile are not actually infertile. They are a couple that both has some fertility, right?
• 7:58
  So if we change the conversation to what are all of these different factors that are coming into
• 8:06
  lower your fertility, making it so much harder to get pregnant. And a majority of those people are
• 8:14
  going to get labeled unexplained infertility. They don't have unexplained infertility. There's no,
• 8:20
  there's no such thing as unexplained, right? If it's unexplained, it means you haven't done it.
• 8:24
  It means it's a UFO. Is it the UFOs of the medical community? If we can't explain it,
• 8:31
  they were just going to call it unexplained and not dig to the root cause. That's the problem.
• 8:34
  That's super sad. And again, the word infertility brings up so much stuff that has,
• 8:43
  like it's not actually infertile. Like most of these people have a struggle conceiving,
• 8:50
  but the way that we define infertility is just misnomer in so many ways. So that was my first
• 8:56
  realization. The second one was if males are involved, then what is it that's happening on the
• 9:03
  male side? And how much of it is detectable in the sperm and how much is not? And what we see,
• 9:12
  I didn't see this as much 15 years ago, but there has been in the last 15 years that I've been
• 9:19
  doing this. There is a huge drop off of sperm. So we know that medically. That's falling off the
• 9:28
  cliff. Yes. The sperm are actually falling off of cliff. They are. But they're not falling off
• 9:35
  in the sense that it's an age related thing. It's like no one's looking at the underlying stuff,
• 9:43
  which so much of it has to do with toxins, right? Men are, the male body is not designed to be exposed
• 9:51
  to so much hormonal influence, especially when those hormones start mimicking estrogen.
• 10:01
  So when you have a feedback loop of estrogen that is floating around in your bloodstream,
• 10:07
  basically tells the brain, I don't need any testosterone. I'm good. You don't get testosterone.
• 10:13
  That is also dropping off of a cliff and it affects the production of sperm. So the sperm is
• 10:22
  declining as a byproduct of the hormonal imbalances. And the hormones like so much of it just mimics
• 10:30
  estrogen. It's unfortunate. So a lot of the toxins are mimicking estrogen, estrogen mimics.
• 10:37
  And so that specifically is affecting males. Yeah, because the feedback loop. So our bodies make
• 10:44
  testosterone. It turns into estrogen. Estrogen goes back and tells the brain, hey, we're good.
• 10:49
  We don't need any more of these hormones. So that's true in men and women. So the testosterone
• 10:56
  loop is basically getting disrupted by the fact that there's estrogen floating around that doesn't
• 11:02
  belong to you, right? It doesn't belong to the male. So, and this is happening in women too,
• 11:09
  it's the same like estrogen mimicking compounds just wreak havoc on our bodies. We're not
• 11:14
  designed for it. So when you have a very strong hormone that shuts off the production of
• 11:23
  pituitary hormones that are signaling, that are controlling all of the, they're like the
• 11:31
  you know, puppet masters behind the scene. And if you have this puppet master that's like,
• 11:37
  oh, I'm good. I don't need to do any work. Then drops the strings and sorry, you have
• 11:43
  a whole chaos that's happening at a lower level that isn't getting, the message isn't
• 11:48
  getting back to the brain like, hey, we're in desperate need of some mastery.
• 11:53
  I'm seeing teenagers that don't have their testosterone so low they're getting on TRT testosterone
• 11:59
  replacement therapy at a young age. Well, so let's talk about that. So the problem that I think
• 12:05
  is happening is you have these young boys being put on testosterone. If you remember what I just said,
• 12:12
  testosterone converts to estrogen, which feedbacks to the brain. Testosterone also has a direct loop
• 12:17
  in the male body back to the brain, shutting down the production of sperm. So testosterone is the
• 12:24
  best way to create infertility in a male. And why are we not talking about that? Nobody's talking
• 12:32
  about that. Nobody's talking about that. Because dudes like that, there's, I have
• 12:37
  young in my family because of social media, I want to get on TRT. So and they're 18 years old.
• 12:46
  They don't even need it, but they want it so they can look like that. I don't know, here I am.
• 12:51
  Like, I'm an influencer, right? A health influencer. And I look at the vegan influencers,
• 12:57
  the carnivore influencers. You have the famous carnivore influencer that took a lot of testosterone
• 13:03
  and growth hormone. And you know, there's part of me. It's like, well, maybe I should get on TRT.
• 13:09
  You know, I'm not going to. Only if it was an emergency, like, you know, and I couldn't function
• 13:13
  and be a great husband and family man and my energy was low. And I would take the two years off
• 13:18
  my life to have a better life, right? But otherwise, the social pressure and the environmental
• 13:27
  toxin pressure, you know, both social and now environmental lowering testosterone is leading to
• 13:32
  more of an infertility epidemic for sure. Like most young men don't need TRT, right? They're
• 13:41
  raging. Yes. It's, it's possible. I've seen 25-year-olds that some of my patients, actually,
• 13:49
  the youngest boy I've seen is 23. I say, boy, man, I don't know. He's in that gray zone.
• 13:56
  Yeah. A gray zone male. Yeah. 23 by his partner was like 38, right? So he was coming to me
• 14:05
  because she wanted to get pregnant and he was like, I'm happy to support this. And, and then we,
• 14:12
  like, he refused testing. We test his sperm. Of course, it's like a shit show, like,
• 14:18
  motility, morphology count, everything was low. So then we test his hormones and his testosterone
• 14:23
  was low. And he, this man did not look like he was low in testosterone. He was like, honestly,
• 14:29
  like, super fit, right? Works out and goes to the gym, all of the things. And I'm talking to him
• 14:35
  about this. And he's like, well, I don't really need to do anything because, you know, like, I was like,
• 14:44
  look at these guys. Okay, you're feeling yourself, but come, like, this is not going to get her
• 14:49
  pregnant. So we're going to need to do something about it. And he, like, it's unfortunate because
• 14:58
  he was like, well, can't you just boost my testosterone levels? And that's what we see so often
• 15:03
  is like, what's the quick fix? What's the easy solution? But the reality is you can't, if you give
• 15:13
  a male testosterone, it's the fastest path to lowering this sperm because of the way the
• 15:20
  feedback loop works. So the brain has to be sending a signal to make sperm in testosterone. And if
• 15:28
  that's if the testosterone signal isn't happening, the sperm signal is also not happening. So yeah,
• 15:33
  no, the TRT clinics don't want to hear that. No, definitely not. And like, these clinics are
• 15:41
  just even, I'll give you the other extreme. I have a patient right now who's 50, 47, something
• 15:49
  like that. He's older. He's a functional medicine doctor. Yeah. He's like, this is my jam. This
• 15:56
  is what I do all day long, but I cannot get my wife pregnant. And I was like, Dory, we got you.
• 16:01
  We figured this out. And he didn't disclose on his forums that he's taking TRT. I was like, here is
• 16:10
  like 500 articles that show if you take testosterone, you're going lower your sperm. He's like, yeah,
• 16:17
  but what do I do? Like, I can't live without my testosterone. Yeah, he already shrunk himself.
• 16:22
  I was like, we're going to build you back up. We have to. So you can we keep using literally
• 16:28
  weaned people off. Yeah. And he switched to clomid because again, medical doctor, he's going to
• 16:35
  do his own thing. So he's like, well, I'll shift from testosterone to clomid, which is like in
• 16:42
  low doses has shown to help improve testosterone levels as well as sperm. So he's been doing that.
• 16:49
  And he came back and was like, all right, I'll do all of your stuff too, because this is not
• 16:56
  working fast, you know, so we started him on some herbs. And four months, his testosterone went
• 17:04
  from 280, which is sort of in the dumps. The optimal is like five to 700 for fertility.
• 17:13
  So 280 is like really low. It went from there to 420. So we're not quite there yet, but way better.
• 17:22
  Way better. And he's like, herbs and do this. It's my peptides. And it's this and that. And I was
• 17:28
  like, uh-huh. And you were trying all that before you came in. So herbs did something.
• 17:35
  Herbs are so powerful. That's a whole other show that they're, I mean, crazy powerful. Yeah.
• 17:40
  When you look at what they can do. Yeah. And in tribal communities, they they're
• 17:45
  rights of passage for males. And they were testosterone boosting herbs. And then some supplement
• 17:50
  company gets a hold of that story. Yeah. And then it's like in every supplement. Yeah. Along with
• 17:56
  other things that shouldn't be there. Quick break to talk about something. I love coffee,
• 18:02
  because this is one of those daily habits. Most people don't realize can quietly work against
• 18:06
  them, not for them. Coffee is one of the most spray crops in the world. And if it's not
• 18:11
  sourced carefully, you can end up drinking pesticides and mold. Along with your caffeine.
• 18:16
  That's why I'm intentional about the coffee I drink. I choose coffee that's organically grown,
• 18:21
  low acid, and tested for mold and toxins. So I get all the benefits without the baggage.
• 18:26
  If you're drinking coffee every day, this is one of the easiest upgrades you can make.
• 18:31
  Check out the cleanest and healthiest coffee in the world that I trust at lifeboostcoffee.com,
• 18:37
  backslash, nontoxic dad, for a discount. Okay. So let's let's move into the next phase of this.
• 18:43
  So, um, male testosterone and the bucket TRT is not the answer. That was a big, big,
• 18:49
  point we needed to make because people are listening to this going, oh, shit, right?
• 18:54
  Um, um, um, literally some women are in tears right now listening to this going, well,
• 18:59
  that's why we're not pregnant, you know. And so that's a huge gift. So let's talk about other
• 19:05
  things that wreck male testosterone. We talk about endocrine disruptors, you know, microplastics.
• 19:12
  Everyone's going to ask what about soy based foods like tofu and, you know, is that real, right?
• 19:21
  Fermented soy is not, and this is not. So folks are looking, they know about estrogen.
• 19:27
  Yeah, especially women because they think estrogen dominance can cause cancer. So the,
• 19:31
  you know, are these estrogen mimics, these estrogen raising compounds and foods? What are they
• 19:37
  and how do we avoid them? Well, so first we should think about which foods have estrogen. So
• 19:44
  soy has phytoestrogens, which mimic estrogen. But they're actually going to bind to the receptors
• 19:53
  of estrogen. So they're going to have similar effects to estrogen, but lower the impact. So it's
• 20:01
  going to be like having a milder version of the estrogen that your own body would produce.
• 20:08
  And there's lots of data in the cancer world that it actually prevents cancer.
• 20:13
  It, even there is data of like taking soy isoflavones in women with breast cancer to help
• 20:20
  lower. I'm not a cancer expert, but that's not available, right? That's real. But
• 20:27
  there are also estrogen and other hormones in meat, because meat is getting a, you're pumping
• 20:38
  meat full of these hormones so that it can be bulky or it's literally doing what
• 20:43
  men want muscles to look like like on bulky. I want to get buff.
• 20:48
  These antibiotics will do the same thing. They give antibiotics not for antibiotics, but they'll
• 20:52
  make them more bulky. Yeah. So it's, a lot of me is infiltrated with that. And even if it's not,
• 21:02
  like you're using the non, non infiltrate, is that the right word? Yeah. It's a regenerative
• 21:08
  cow that's living like cows are supposed to be meant. Yeah. Perfect state. Yeah. It still has
• 21:14
  estrogen, right? It's the normal state of an animal. So protein, whether it's plants like soy,
• 21:24
  or even to a weaker effect, pumpkin has some estrogenic effects.
• 21:30
  Yeah. Pumpkin seeds. Flax seeds have some estrogenic effects. So you're, there are plants that
• 21:40
  have these like phytoestrogens, these low levels. And then you have animals to different
• 21:47
  gradations of how much estrogen is in them. So we like, yes, we should lower our impact. But
• 21:58
  which one are we going to cut out? And I think that soy gets put on the chopping block a lot.
• 22:03
  Oh, yeah. Actually think that that's a reality. If the beans were grown well, non organic,
• 22:11
  they're non GMO, all of those things, if care was taken in the production of that,
• 22:17
  then you're probably okay with small amounts of soy, probably okay with small amounts of
• 22:22
  non hormone-related meats, right? It's where you get to the extreme that it becomes very problematic.
• 22:31
  So yeah, I think those are definitely as far as food goes, that's something we should definitely
• 22:38
  consider. Yes, other. What I like about that is that, you know, if you're eating all soy,
• 22:44
  or if you're eating all meat, you definitely could throw off your hormones, right? Because these
• 22:49
  soy is just the easiest one to talk about, but there's others, right? So you just have to be careful
• 22:54
  with the phytoestrogenic compounds and plants don't eat that. You should need a singular diet,
• 23:01
  diet, anyway, on anything. You shouldn't have. We're meant to vary our diet, right? You should
• 23:06
  eat also, you should eat all animal, right? Like the whole, I'm a balanced diet fan, and I don't
• 23:14
  mind, like I'm glad I'm not a, you know, gungho, but I push anyone down, like you're good, you know,
• 23:21
  just, you know, you're on your journey and do what, you know, because you're going to balance out
• 23:25
  because you're going to get feedback loops, because I see people that, you know, go to a certain
• 23:29
  diet and guess what happens. They're, now they have no testosterone, because they went to an extreme,
• 23:37
  and they shut down production for one diet or another, now they're on TRT, and this fixing the
• 23:42
  problem, they look great, but you cause the problem by having a mono diet program that really isn't
• 23:49
  serving your body the best. I mean, I think we're, I think we're designed for a variety. So any time
• 23:56
  that we're, we're going away from that, it's going to be problematic. So, and I think a lot of diets
• 24:03
  tend to isolate, especially like the trends of me only, or then the meat and fat, and then meat
• 24:13
  and fat and vegetables, like some variation of that, and some of them are more balanced than others,
• 24:21
  but I think anytime you're eating the same thing all the time, there's going to be, there's
• 24:28
  going to be downstream effects, even if they're not immediate. On hormones is kind of where we're
• 24:32
  sticking. And that's why I brought that up. I really wanted to make sure that diet is a, is a, is a
• 24:37
  piece of it we talked about. The other hormone disruptors BPA, the different BPS is worse,
• 24:45
  BPA, yeah. Yeah. So like all the BPA free products, I was just talking to my business partner about
• 24:52
  yesterday, he's got his Nalgene bottle. Nalgene? No. And he brings up this, he's like, oh, I'm doing
• 24:58
  good, right? And I'm like, I just have to turn away. Like I have to pretend you're not drinking out
• 25:04
  of that because it, he's like, put his BPA free. I'm like BPA free means they use BPS or BPS,
• 25:13
  which is more endocrine disrupting than the BPA to begin with. And on fertility BPS is worse.
• 25:19
  Or yeah. So it's like we think we're doing better sometimes. And often we're just not like
• 25:30
  if it's plastic, it's freaking plastic. Like I don't care if it has a BPA free label on it,
• 25:35
  it's still plastic. Or for some special plastic use something to make it the same. I've seen
• 25:44
  you talk about it actually fabrics, right? Like yoga pants, yoga gear, like so much of it is
• 25:52
  plastic. It is plastic. And we're wearing it. The skin absorbs everything. So if we're absorbing all
• 26:01
  of these chemicals, not we're not even putting them into our body, we think, oh, it's my skin's
• 26:08
  protecting me. Well, yes, except as soon as your skin heats up, the pores open up, everything
• 26:14
  goes in. So it's and like, yes, I still wear yoga pants sometimes, but you will not see me live in
• 26:23
  yoga pants because the amount of plastic that would be introduced into my system, I just choose
• 26:32
  that too. Yeah, I mean, there's there's lawsuits against Nike and Athleta because they didn't
• 26:37
  disclose the BDA and their clothes, right? So that's that's kind of sad. But okay, guys, you're wearing
• 26:44
  Lulu lemon, you know, whatever, all these plastics, there are a lot of these fabric companies
• 26:49
  own each other and companies own each other. And they're getting the fabric from the same sources.
• 26:54
  And it's super toxic. You're wearing your Nike pants, right? And we can get into polyester
• 26:59
  underwear causing infertility as well because of there's a electrical charge that happens that
• 27:05
  stops motility. There's the microplastics. There's the heat. They did a study and show that it did
• 27:10
  100% of male dogs. And they did it on they did it on men too. And then they did a study on male
• 27:17
  dogs and female dogs in the plastic underwear caused infertility. So so there's a big issue. And
• 27:26
  then you BPA is a hormone mimic. We talked about estrogen mimics BPA is one BPS is one. So if
• 27:33
  you're wearing this stuff, fellas, the underwear itself, it's like the triple whammy, right? It can
• 27:37
  have the chemicals. It can have the endocrine disruptors. If they're tight, they're make they're like
• 27:43
  heating. Yeah, the heat is an issue as well. Oh, more. And that's going to shut down sperm.
• 27:48
  This is going to kill the sperm that are there. The underwear alone, the fabric, the energy,
• 27:52
  right of the fabric. I mean, it's it's 100% shut down in the study. It was a male sling,
• 27:58
  right? So it was like a like a jockstrap, you know, that they put on that it was the powerful
• 28:03
  study back in 1990s. I literally had to order the that wasn't even available on the internet,
• 28:09
  right? It was it was hard to find. And they wanted it for population controls. What they said they
• 28:16
  had they went. It's what that was the subject on the introduction. There's no effective male birth
• 28:23
  control. So for population control, so we're exploring this as an option. And they did that was
• 28:30
  the thesis of the study that was the the result they were looking for. And they got the result. And
• 28:36
  then it wasn't too long after that that everyone was wearing polyester underwear. So I don't know
• 28:41
  that's a that's a kind of a fun conspiracy. I feel like I'm on Joe Rogan now, right? Underwear
• 28:46
  was a conspiracy to cause infertility and population control. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying
• 28:52
  that. I don't believe that, but it's it's interesting. It's interesting. It's definitely interesting.
• 28:58
  And I think so what else? What else? More. I have another one for you, Atrazine. Oh Atrazine,
• 29:04
  that's a big one. Atrazine. It's in the water. It's causing massive declines in sperm
• 29:12
  health. It's having effect in women too, but the studies are showing that it hits the sperm
• 29:21
  really hard. So that's another one. Now what do they use tell our listeners where Atrazine
• 29:26
  scene comes from? It's in water. So it's a pesticide. Yeah, like forgive me if I don't have
• 29:35
  a background. Yeah, you don't need to. I go into the clinical side. My approach is get a
• 29:41
  freaking water filter. Just get the shit out of your water, right? Like that's the solution is
• 29:46
  just get a good high quality water filter that actually filters all of this stuff out. And it's a
• 29:55
  big move to like reverse osmosis distillation, whatever works for you, but something to pull out
• 30:02
  all of the toxins. And unfortunately, what I see a lot of my clients doing is that they're not
• 30:09
  using they're using like brida filters, which are going to take out chlorine. That's about it.
• 30:16
  Some what they're. Yeah. So when you look at a water filter, when it says it,
• 30:22
  and when it says it takes out the taste of chlorine, yeah, it's not removing the chlorine. It's
• 30:27
  taking out the taste. It takes out enough neutral light. Yeah, it's taking out enough that you can't
• 30:31
  taste the chlorine. So it's not effectively removing all the chlorine. And nor do they do
• 30:36
  brida water filters, cordia studies remove heavy metals. Yeah, and that's another rabbit hole.
• 30:41
  We can go down heavy metals, lead mercury. They have linked to lowered sperm counts in
• 30:51
  lower testosterone levels. So I feel like a lot of it. So dudes with the mercury malgam fillings,
• 30:58
  yeah, go to a medical professional health practitioner that that that will walk you through that
• 31:03
  do it safely. Otherwise you can get very sick, right? And they affect your hormones mercury, your
• 31:07
  thyroid, your energy, which backs into all your hormones. It's a crazy world out there. So
• 31:14
  how I want to end the show is in summary, there's these different insults on fertility and
• 31:21
  males. We kind of focus there. Obviously, a lot of this moves to females as well. But TRT I think
• 31:28
  was the biggest takeaway and how it's wrecking fertility and sperm counts. The estrogen mimics
• 31:34
  that can happen from overeating toxic meat and essentially toxic food, even on the plant and
• 31:43
  meat side, right? And avoiding plastics, BPA, phallates are huge testosterone.
• 31:51
  Oh, yes, we didn't talk about the phallates. Can we just say about it for one second?
• 31:55
  Go ahead. I know you talk about it all the time. But fragrance is anything that has a fragrance.
• 32:00
  And male cologne, get rid of it boys. Cologne, I feel like my guys are not, they're like,
• 32:05
  oh, what? I don't have any of that. And then you go into there. They put their deodorant on.
• 32:09
  Yeah. They're car. Oh my god, those little black Christmas tree. Oh my god. Yeah, those are
• 32:16
  awful. So that's my number one videos ripping them down. I hate those things. That was done with
• 32:22
  intention to disrupt the market. Oh, God, those. And then if your partner has those like
• 32:30
  plug-in air freshener things around the house, stuff that makes your your beard oil smell good.
• 32:38
  All the stuff like, yeah, you can get rid of all of it. Because if it smells good, it probably has
• 32:47
  phallates, unless it's very specifically designed to not. So you've got my husband,
• 32:53
  there's like sandalwood oil. So that is so good. See? But it's like actual sandalwood, right? It's
• 33:00
  not like the fragrance of sandalwood. Yeah, there's there's every fragrance that's out there
• 33:07
  is mimicked by chemical factories that are trying to it's not about the fragrance. It's about
• 33:14
  the addiction that it can create. And that's why you become addicted to your car fresheners,
• 33:18
  your clones, your perfumes, your beard oils, all of it. So the phallates are another
• 33:24
  infertility. It's a big one. It's a big one for men. Thallates have very similar estrogen
• 33:30
  mimicking effects. So anything that mimics estrogen essentially in the body, if it's a chemical
• 33:36
  form that's similar to estrogen, it wreaks havoc. It's shutting down testosterone and estrogen
• 33:42
  that shutting down testosterone and sperm presumption, that duality. So to end the show, I love to ask
• 33:51
  our guests if we've had this before, right? I think I might ask you this question off camera,
• 33:57
  but if you could remove a, it's part of a non-toxic lifestyle. There's so many toxins, right?
• 34:03
  There's emotional toxins, there's physical toxins, there's chemical toxins, there's all
• 34:07
  these toxins, right? If there was one that you hate the most, and you would like the world to
• 34:14
  no longer have it, it could be anything, right? I think my personal favorite to get rid of is Thallates.
• 34:22
  And that's mostly like a very selfish thing because I go into people's houses and it hits me
• 34:27
  and I'm like, oh god, I gotta go. You want to ruin the perfume industry. You want to take away
• 34:33
  their, I just want to stop the air fresheners in the house like, take that shit. Hey, that's one of my
• 34:40
  biggest. So I was in my, we can, I'll let you end with something even more beautiful than that,
• 34:47
  but because I'm with you and you got me excited talking about fragrances because I hate them as
• 34:51
  well. And I don't say hate very often and I'm really upset with fragrances. So I'm driving here and
• 35:00
  I get into my Uber and like, I didn't see fragrance. I didn't see any trees. I didn't see any
• 35:06
  plugins. And I'm like, I smell fragrance and before I left, because I didn't text them before
• 35:10
  and I'm like, do you have air fresheners in here? And he's like, oh, no, back of, you know,
• 35:16
  in the back of the car. And I'm like, okay, what does he mean? He pulls out. Do you know those
• 35:21
  things that are in bathrooms? Those big plastic things that go like every minute, five minutes,
• 35:27
  whatever. I think it was on a five minutes. He had it sitting and it was in the back of the,
• 35:32
  the thing missing. And then when he dropped me off, he pulled out my luggage and he went to turn
• 35:39
  it back on. And on top of this, the guy had asthma. He had, he could, he was having labor-breathing
• 35:45
  and he had, I saw his puffer. Right. And I said, do you know that fragrance can cause asthma?
• 35:51
  Right. These chemicals cause inflammation in your lungs and cause asthma. Yeah. He's like,
• 35:56
  he didn't just thought I was nuts. But as he pulled out my luggage, he turns it back on.
• 36:01
  And this is my luck. You know, fragrance is fighting me. This is like, sprays it right in my
• 36:07
  freaking face. Oh, man, I was so mad. I'm like, are you kidding me? And then I did, I typically don't
• 36:13
  get brain fog, but I had some nasty brain fog from that. So when you say get rid of thalates,
• 36:19
  to move one of the powerful chemicals that are inside of fragrances and take down the fragrance
• 36:23
  industry, I will join you in that mission. I would, I would love it to be gone. Because I forget
• 36:29
  like how many times I've been in an Uber that's just like, oh, oh crap. Can I change my Uber
• 36:36
  driver? Like I'm already in the car. But I'm like, oh, this is going to be rough. It's going to
• 36:41
  be a rough, rough trip. And you want to be kind to people and you want to make them feel bad.
• 36:45
  And I have all these ways of doing it. I'd like, I understand why the Uber drivers do it, but
• 36:50
  tone it down. Yeah, it's natural stuff. But we can get a tag Uber and and have chemical free
• 36:56
  cars. Let's, let's petition for that. Yes. Yes. Let's do it. It's a great way to end the show.
• 37:00
  Any last final thoughts? Um, Skirtle cooling will end on a high note. So if you are a male out
• 37:08
  there struggling with fertility, one of the fastest hacks to increase sperm production is
• 37:15
  cooling the testicles. And the way you do that is grab a ice pack, wrap it in some paper napkin or
• 37:22
  napkins and stick it under your balls. What about red lighting your balls?
• 37:27
  Um, the research on that is a little fuzzy. So I'm not jumping to that yet. But the
• 37:33
  Skirtle cooling is legit. It increases sperm count, sperm motility and morphology in six weeks.
• 37:40
  There is nothing else. There, there is no amount of supplements that I can give you that will
• 37:45
  replace that. Oh, man, there's going to be a lot of cold cold cold scrolls after this podcast.
• 37:52
  So that's a, that is a great, it is a high note. That's a win for all women and some men.
• 37:59
  Because I don't want to do that. Guys love it. They do? They come back. They're like, actually,
• 38:04
  that was, I'm not going to complain about it. They, what they really want to say is it feels good.
• 38:10
  They should say that. Oh my gosh, that is so good. Oh, I'm, oh, that's a great way to end.
• 38:16
  I'm, I'm now laughing and my endorphins are good and my testosterone probably just spiked and
• 38:22
  who knows what I'm going to do tonight? Oh boy. So it is, it is wonderful seeing you again,
• 38:29
  having you on the show and just continue to wish the best for you and love and grace and wisdom
• 38:37
  and as you continue helping people around the world. Thank you so much. Thanks for having me.
