By 2045 the average person will have a median sperm count of zero and be unable to have kids.
Here’s what you can do in order to prevent that.

For the last 70 years, fertility rates have decreased worldwide with a total over 50% (52.4%) decline.
It is also estimated that between 60 million to 80 million couples in the world are infertile.

So no matter who you are, you need to know what’s inside this thread if you plan to have kids.
As always, we will approach this issue by first addressing what’s causing so much damage in order to get it out of our lifestyles (within reason) and then what can assist recovery.

The main things that harm our fertility are the following:
Number 1: Oxidative stress / Stress hormones
Both put the human organism in a catabolic state which makes conceiving and optimal fertility impossible.
Plus stress hormones compete for the same receptors and locations

Both put the human organism in a catabolic state which makes conceiving and optimal fertility impossible.
Plus stress hormones compete for the same receptors and locations
in the body’s tissues with hormones like LH, FSH (both crucial for male fertility), progesterone and DHEA.
So what you can do in order to keep these two as low as possible and not over-stimulate the HPA axis(*).

5)No intense dieting (ideally no dieting at all)

11) Consider eating less foods high in tryptophan and more foods with a balanced amino acid profile (bone in meats, shellfish).

Number 2: nnEMF
In one study that was done (SO to Tim Ferriss) 12 week old male albino rats were exposed to RF-EMR from an active GSM (0.9/1.8GHz) mobile phone for 1 hour for a total of 28 days.
After this, their mobile sperm was almost nonexistent.

So:
-Do not sit with your laptop on your lap 12 hours a day
-Keep your phone out of your pocket as much as possible
-Ground
-Manage nnEMF exposure in your house (ethernet cables, turn off the WiFi if you’re not using it)
-Get your magnesium and minerals in (see this thread for

-If you are trying to have kids as we speak, legit go camping if possible in order to get the nnEMF exposure as down as possible (not kidding).

Number 3: Pesticides and herbicides
Some of the worst fertility disrupters are organochlorine compounds such as chlorinated
pesticides plus organophosphate pesticides and herbicides.
Exposure to these pesticides can decrease sperm health in a matter of weeks and these are in 99% of today's foods.
Glyphosate for example over-activates TET enzymes which are responsible for removing methyl groups

So what you should avoid and what you should do:
1)No grains
2)Always peel your fruit
3)Stick to organic if you can and if you can not, minimize the vegetables that you consume
4)No nut butters or nut "milks"

6)Wash things such as berries with ACV before consuming them
Number 4: Xenoestrogens
Animals that were given larger doses of estrogen during youth become prematurely infertile.
Estrogen also work against progesterone synthesis which is crucial when it comes to

Estrogen also work against progesterone synthesis which is crucial when it comes to
fertility for women but also for men.
Without enough progesterone in your system you can not conceive.
Nowadays estrogenic compounds are hidden everywhere with the main sources of them being xenoestrogens.
This is a detailed thread about them.

Now let's see tools that will help boost your fertility but are also necessary for it as well.
1. Vitamin A
Blocking the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR-a) makes someone fully infertile.
In many studies full infertility in animals is achieved by administering an RAR-a

Blocking the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR-a) makes someone fully infertile.
In many studies full infertility in animals is achieved by administering an RAR-a
antagonist.
A vitamin A deficiency will also lower the production of pregnenolone, DHEA and progesterone which are all crucial for fertility as well.
So quality organ meats are your friends.
Just don't over do it (one pound a day (more common than you might think)).

2. Zinc
Zinc is crucial in order to protect seminal fluid from
oxidation.
So eat your red meat and oysters.
3. Vitamin E
When vitamin E is deficient one will experience a significant drop in LH and FSH levels which will interfere with fertility.
Red palm oil is your friend.

4. Selenium
A selenium deficiency will cause infertility in men by causing a deterioration in the quality of semen and in sperm motility.
So again, get quality shellfish, meats, eggs and organs in your diet.

5. Vitamin C
Vitamin C prevents free radical damage to sperm.
Also women with low progesterone levels can benefit from this mostly and vitamin C is in general a great tool against oxidative damage and the effects of stress.
Camu camu and acerola cherry are good sources.

6. Manganese
Manganese is crucial for GnRH when it comes to fertility but ideally you will understand how to balance minerals overall by using this thread.

7. Beta cryptoxanthin (within reason)
This carotenoid protects the sperm DNA from damage caused by free radicals.
8. Vitamin D
Women with normal levels of Vitamin D are four times more likely to conceive through IVF than those with low levels.
So get out in the sun daily.

Now other things that can help (remember that this thread is based around how men can optimize their fertility) are:
-Cistanche
-Ginger
-Shilajit
-L carnitine
-Co-Q10
-Ginkgo
-Vitamin K2
-Ice baths (within reason)
