Shanna H. Swan, Ph.D., is one of the world's leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists and a professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. An award-winning scientist, her work examines the impact of environmental exposures, including chemicals such as phthalates and bisphenol A, on the reproductive health of men and women and the neurodevelopment of children.
Microplastics and Impact on Our Hormone System
In the modern world, microplastics are an invisible danger that threatens our health and the environment. These tiny fragments of plastic have spread everywhere from our oceans to our food and even in the air we breathe. At Amplifier, we strongly believe in raising awareness about the harmful effects of microplastics, especially on our precious endocrine system.
The Disturbing Discoveries of Dr. Shanna Swan
A critical source of our understanding of this problem stems from the pioneering work of Dr. Shanna Swan. Dr. Swan's research has revealed alarming facts about the decline in male testosterone. Over the past five decades, testosterone levels in men have dropped by as much as 59%. This has far-reaching implications for our health and well-being.
Hormonal Disruption by Microplastics
Microplastics have the ability to disrupt our endocrine system in ways we are only just beginning to understand. These microscopic particles contain chemicals that can interfere with our hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone. When these substances enter our body, they can disrupt the normal functioning of our endocrine system, leading to a wide variety of health problems.
Impact on Our Health
The consequences of this hormonal disruption cannot be underestimated. It can lead to problems such as reduced fertility, disruption of fetal development, decreased libido, mood swings, and more. In addition, these effects can not only affect individual health, but also affect future generations.
Our responsibility
At Amplifier, we are committed to spreading awareness about the dangers of microplastics and their impact on our endocrine system. We believe it is crucial to address this issue, both on an individual and societal level. Through information, education and high-quality products, we want to contribute to restoring hormonal balance and improving the health of people worldwide.
Together we can fight microplastic pollution and protect our health. Let's strive together for a world in which our hormone system and well-being are paramount.
