28. The End of the World with Dr. Shanna Swan

Plastics will lead to human extinction? As you go about your day, it may not seem like the end of the world is near, but trust me, the countdown has begun. It’s no surprise that chemicals make up the myriad of plastics we use – and consume – daily. Two of them, bisphenols and phthalates, work in tandem, softening plastic and hardening it. But like the evil twins on The Shining, their potency is much more dangerous than we’ve been led to believe, threatening sperm counts, changing male and female reproductive development, and jeopardizing the future of humanity. You won’t want to miss this informative podcast with Dr. Shanna Swan, one of the world’s leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists, as she shares shocking statistics about the hidden and dangerous effects of plastics on our health. For more than two decades, Dr. Swan has studied the rise of human infertility, her work garnering worldwide attention in 2017. She’s been featured in The New York Times, on the Plastic Pollution Coalition website, and on 60 Minutes. Her latest book, Count Down, is a stark and startling warning to humanity that it needs to wake up, shake up the plastics industry, and demand better for our bodies and those of future generations. #healthnottoxics #fertility #infertility #endocrinedisruptors #reproductivehealth #menshealth #womenshealth #plasticpollution #noplastic #sustainableliving #breakfreefromplastic #plasticfreeliving #plasticpollutes #keynotespeaker #eventplanner #meetingplanner #events #eventmanagement
