[@henryg3702]

It would be good to hear huberman to speak on varricoles.

[@ahmedyassinenajjar1516]

varicocele*

[@emilyb5557]

Common cause of secondary fertility in a recent study so well worth getting checked.

[@alejandrito8151]

Me and my wife r trying to concieve, she has gotten pregnant various times but after a few weeks it never continues, the last part couldnt have been more accurate, it is very much a very emotional / expensive mental battle with life itself .

[@KickingIt-In-the-Kitchen]

Prayers for you and your wife, may God bless you both.

[@emilyb5557]

Sorry that's really hard to deal with 😢 I'd recommend the book plus potentially on line community for It's All about the egg book. Advice based on research studies.

[@alejandrito8151]

Thank you guys i will check that book out god bless

6:30 Airplane mode

[@evelynexuma1699]

First also interesting episode

[@firstlast2386]

no im 1st

[@Blampa1456]

came from hamza--quick question, i'll remove my phone from pocket, but what about airpods? is that an issue too?

[@ahmedyassinenajjar1516]

just don't put them in your pocket, btw I get headaches from using airpods in general idk why

[@Noah-xn5th]

Airpods connect to smartphones via bluetooth. And you cannot turn it off. Keep every device that connects throught the air out of your pocket.

[@joshternyak8752]

If I turn on iphone on airplane mode and put it in my pocket is that still bad?

[@Noah-xn5th]

I personally would still assume that electric circuitry emits electrical radiation. But objectively you have to look out for the heat that your smartphone emits. (5:13)

[@AndrewKaufmanMD]

Dr. Huberman didn’t mention the actual potential causes of the fertility crisis. The factors he did mention cannot be the primary cause of this issue. Sperm counts and total birth rates have been declining since at least 1972 according to the published data. Since then many have quit smoking but the fertility rate continues to decline. Cell phones weren’t even invented in the 1970s. Thus, neither smoking nor cell phone exposure can be the cause. Why didn’t the Dr. discuss about studies showing persistent organic pollutants and heavy metals in sperm, menses, and follicular fluid? Our exposure to these compounds, as well as other xenoestrogens such as phthalate and bisphenols, at least correlates with the fertility data. Further, there are studies correlating sperm abnormalities with these exposures. In my opinion, this superficial analysis, and instructions to simply take some supplements, misses the mark completely on this topic.

[@AndrewKaufmanMD]

Tim Ferris have me on your show and I’ll go through all this data with you to really get to the bottom of this fertility issue!

[@AvaEmma-rm4kb]

Yep, no matter if you’ve been called infertile or whatever, after reading Dobbie Nerkstrol's guide, I ended up pleasantly surprised. Within 60 days anyone can get pregnant, feeling the changes in your body the first few weeks. After go’ogling her I understood it's not a miracle kind of thing like the title suggests, but you can bet you'll boost your chances.

[@maheshnikam4907]

10:07 when they say alcohole wount affect the child

[@decipheritalian]

Blind spot: parenting lowers testosterone, general average health and happiness, looks, and wealth. Also there's opportunity costs for other good causes and goals.

[@gerardoesquivel9919]

So?

[@samhansen794]

Becoming a parent is the most important thing we may ever do in our lives. What an insane comment

[@decipheritalian]

@@samhansen794 caring for existing humans may be important yes. Making new ones isn't needed nor optimal. We didn't evolve to be sane, just to transmit DNA.

[@samhansen794]

@@decipheritalian So population collapse is optimal? Right. Got it.

[@rad_lad_2715]

​@@decipheritalian"we didn't evolve to he sane, just to transmit DNA" Which still requires making new humans
