After reading the book, I have to say the podcast was much more interesting than the book itself. It was not well written. It was just hard to read with scientific jargon and not-so-interesting stories.

The tone of the book is annoying. The whole thing could have been much shorter. I already knew most of the info, but it is still important. They know that porn watching can cause ED. But why hasn’t anyone looked into the testosterone draining effects of excessive masturbation? The ancient Romans weren’t allowed to have sex during summer war campaigns so as not to deplete their “manliness.” Why would that be any less true today? Sultans with harems were generally infertile after age thirty, that was a known thing. A major change that has happened in the last forty years that no one talks about is that young men are masturbating a lot more than they ever have in the history of the human race. (This is an assumption based on the fact that it is accepted and even encouraged today whereas in the past our ancestors discouraged it in almost every culture.) Why has that not been studied as a source of testosterone depletion? Swan highlights all of reasons fertility is declining in the United States. It's a very sad topic to read about fertility issues and how they devastate families, but thankfully it's more on facts than stories.

Swan also does an exploration of the demographic effects of declining fertility-- how the young generally support the elderly and the implications this has for the future.

Count Down builds upon this and a plethora of other research findings that all point to one terrifying fact: our modern lifestyles are having deleterious effects on fertility and reproductive health, not only in humans, but in other species as well. Persistent chemical pollutants in our households, air, oceans, drinking water and food supply are having measurable effects on our ability to reproduce. Left unabated, this will inevitably have tragic consequences for our future here on this planet. You must work out. Working out increases testosterone and sperm. Working out makes you feel like a Grecian god. Men who exercise 7 hours per week have 43% higher sperm concentrations than those who do not work out. Some of the reasons for fertility issues stem from people have children at older ages. While this unfortunately affects women more, men also have declining fertility as they age. The other main reason highlighted in the book was the presence of endocrine disruptors, which have not been thoroughly regulated and affect many populations- not just human ones. Regulation of the chemical industry then appears to be more serious than previously thought and many common chemicals may be culprits from cosmetics to pesticides to air fresheners. The problem is that it seems nearly impossible to avoid all of them!More Live Dates For Gyles Brandreth And Susie Dent Plus West End Residency". Beyond The Joke. 6 July 2022 .

Again, pretty much everything I wrote above I previously read in much more cogently argued articles that are widely available. What was not covered in those articles was the question of whether or not the sudden rise in the number of gender dysphoria cases might be caused by greater exposure to anti-androgenic chemicals or endocrine disrupters (either in utero or prior to puberty). I previously assumed this phenomenon was largely (or even exclusively) the result of social contagion (i.e. teens and young adults pushing boundaries and trying to be popular or relevant). So in all honesty this question was rather intriguing and I was curious to see what the data showed. Sadly, the author spent roughly an eighth of the book speculating without any evidence one way or the other. But rest assured, she made sure to state multiple times that even if toxic chemicals are responsible for gender dysphoria, the rise of gender fluidity is something to be celebrated and embraced. OK. Thanks for that scientific analysis Doc.
