<p>In this episode, I am joined by award-winning health and science writer <strong>Stacey Colino</strong>, co-author of the groundbreaking book <em>Countdown</em>, written with renowned scientist Dr. Shanna Swan. The book uncovers alarming data on the global fertility crisis, including a staggering 50% drop in sperm counts over the last 30 years. Stacey dives into the delicate balance of our hormonal systems and the everyday chemicals that disrupt them, affecting fertility for both men and women. She also shares simple, actionable steps we can take to protect our health and the health of future generations.</p><br><p>We also discuss the urgent need for greater awareness and education around this issue, as well as the importance of stricter government regulations to limit harmful chemicals in consumer products. Companies must take responsibility for creating safer formulas, but the change starts with us—making informed choices and advocating for a healthier future. This eye-opening conversation is packed with insights to help you navigate the toxic environment we live in and make better decisions for long-term well-being.</p><br><p><strong>Find Stacey: </strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/staceyacolino/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@staceyacolino</a></p><p>Read Countdown: <a href="https://amzn.eu/d/cvJMYvj" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.eu/d/cvJMYvj</a></p><br><p><strong>Follow Poppy</strong>: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/poppyjamie/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@poppyjamie</a></p><p><strong>Buy Poppy's book</strong>: <a href="https://amzn.eu/d/9PiMG3p" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.eu/d/9PiMG3p</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
