616. Plastics and Testosterone
The Doctor Is In Podcast - A podcast by Dr. A.W. Martin and Dr. A.P. Martin
Annually, 450 million tons of plastic are created in our world. Plastic has been found in the highest parts in the world, Mount Everest, and in the deepest parts of the oceans. It's in the environment. It's in the water. It's in the air. It’s in our blood – yes, that’s right! 95% of us have plastics in our blood. Dr. Martin shares a study showing that BPA plastics in particular are disrupting men’s testosterone levels. It's actually shocking how low men's levels of testosterone have gotten in the last 30, 40 years. When men hit the age of 50, most have more estrogen than their wives do! Plastics are indeed everywhere, there’s no getting around that, but Dr. Martin shares two ways we can better manage the onslaught. Here’s a clue… the first one has to do with diet. The second one… you’ll have to listen to today’s episode to find out what!
