Is it age?
Is it the environment?
Is it our diet?
Is it something deeper?
Infertility rates are rising due to a lot of things.
The primary reason, and there was a book written about this by a Harvard researcher named Walter Willett called The Fertility Diet.
about metabolic dysfunction.
And I know you think, Dr. Hyman, you must be obsessed with this metabolic nonsense.
I hear about it all the time from you.
I'm sorry.
It's just the thing that causes everything.
It causes heart disease, causes cancer, causes diabetes, causes dementia, causes infertility, even causes acne, causes depression, causes mental health issues.
I mean, it is a massive problem.
so i'm sorry if i keep hammering on this but this is the thing you need to understand this is what's driving primarily so much of our chronic disease including infertility now there's other things besides metabolic dysfunction and that means metabolic dysfunction i mean sugar blood sugar insulin issues which we've talked about a lot infertility rates are going up because of that but also environmental toxins are on the rise plastics and pesticides and
metals and so many toxins we're exposed to.
And I test these things in people and I can tell you folks, they're rampant.
Even myself, I try to eat a low toxin diet.
I try to only have healthy cleaning products in my house, use healthy skincare products.
I try to do everything right.
And it's just impossible.
