There was a longitudinal study done in the Philippines that followed 624 men over almost five years and found that those who became fathers experienced a significant decline in testosterone levels.

My last question is about devices and technology. There's been a lot of books written recently and a lot of conversation around the impact that screens, social media, mobile phones have on children. What is your thoughts and philosophy towards raising healthy kids in a world of technology?
