Polyester underwear could be sabotaging your fertility, and most couples trying to conceive have no idea.
In this eye-opening episode, I dive into fascinating research dating back to the 1990s that shows a direct connection between polyester underwear and decreased fertility.
A prolific surgeon with over a thousand published studies discovered that dogs wearing polyester underwear became infertile, with low sperm motility and other reproductive issues that reversed when the polyester was removed. (Dr. Shafik https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8279095/)
Similar studies on human males showed comparable results, even affecting sexual desire and activity.
What's particularly interesting is that while these studies initially focused on static electricity from polyester. We now know that chemicals commonly added to polyester fabrics including flame retardants, phthalates, BPA, and PFAS are all known reproductive toxins. This makes the switch to natural fiber underwear even more crucial for anyone concerned about fertility.
If you're trying to conceive or planning to in the future, this episode provides practical guidance on finding stylish, comfortable 100% cotton underwear options for both you and your partner. Plus, I invite you to the upcoming Cultivate Seeds of Fertility Summit, where I'll be sharing more insights on eliminating toxins that impact fertility, including a free downloadable checklist to help you create a fertility-friendly environment.
In today's episode, we're chatting about:
• The scientific evidence linking polyester underwear to decreased fertility
• Why chemicals in polyester affect reproductive health and development
• How to find stylish, comfortable 100% cotton underwear options
• The best natural fiber underwear brands for both women and men
• Details about the upcoming Cultivate Seeds of Fertility Summit
