Authored by Dr. Shanna Swan, an environmental and reproductive epidemiologist, this book investigates the alarming decline in human reproductive health, particularly sperm counts, and its links to environmental factors. It explores the impact of 'forever chemicals' like phthalates and BPA, microplastics, and other endocrine disruptors on fertility and reproductive development in both men and women, raising concerns about the future of human reproduction.
I did an episode about microplastics, we had Shauna Swan on the podcast.
""Andrew Huberman mentioned Shauna Swan in the context of microplastics and their health concerns, noting that she had been a guest on the podcast. As Dr. Swan is a recognized expert in environmental and reproductive health, her book 'Count Down' is her most relevant and popular work, directly addressing the topics discussed."
