Podcast: Women Want Strong Men
Episode: Fifteen on a Friday - Defend Your Masculinity and Fertility
In under 15 minutes Amy Stuttle breaks down what is killing masculinity and fertility. She start with biological factors first. Male testosterone levels and sperm counts have taken a drastic decline and it has plagued men in America for several decades now. The average male’s testosterone level has been declining at an astonishing rate of at least 1 percent every year since the 1980s. It is not the result of a natural decrease due to aging. According to the Urology Times total testosterone has been consistently decreasing in young men. In 2000 the avg total T level 605.39 ng/dL. 2003 567.44 ng/dL. 2012 424.96. Your dad had higher testosterone levels than you do at your age right now.
She then explains how In July of 2017, LabCorp, changed its reference range for total testosterone levels. They lowered the reference range by about 100ng/dl to accommodate a growing population that is now more obese and has lower testosterone levels than ever before.
Moving on to sperm count she explains that when testosterone levels drops so does sperm count. Scientists and doctors are witnessing an absolute free fall in sperm counts over the last several decades. Dr. Shanna Swan, an environmental and reproductive epidemiologist and author of a book called Countdown, finds that sperm counts have dropped almost 60% since 1973. Following the trajectory we are on, Swan’s research suggests sperm counts could reach zero by 2045.
