00:00:00.000 What are you exposed to? How many plastics are you ingesting? How many cans are you drinking out of?
00:00:05.000 How many plastic bottles are you drinking out of? How many plastic containers are you cooking your
00:00:10.320 food in? You're fully against that, 100%. Fully against this. There's a great clip,
00:00:15.000 we can find it from Joe Rogan's podcast, and it's an anecdote from one of his friends.
00:00:19.940 But he said, and I think this is true, he said, my friend had testosterone that was maybe 300,
00:00:26.980 and he got all the macroplastics out of his life,
00:00:29.440 he significantly decreased plastic exposure
00:00:31.920 and his testosterone went to 1,200.
00:00:34.840 So this is, again, it's just an anecdote,
00:00:37.640 but let's talk about plastic exposure
00:00:39.300 because this is really interesting
00:00:40.220 and you've got a lot of props here for me right now.
00:00:42.460 So I think that for men,
00:00:44.480 baseline, start with a good quality diet.
00:00:47.040 Start with single ingredient foods
00:00:48.600 or foods with ingredient labels
00:00:50.660 your great-grandmother would recognize.
00:00:52.240 Eat animal foods.
00:00:53.480 You need those nutrients.
00:00:54.920 You need zinc, you need vitamin D,
00:00:56.460 you need magnesium and you need selenium. These are core nutrients for your testicles to actually 0.97
00:01:01.480 work. And then you want to think about minimizing your exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals. 0.95
00:01:08.780 So let's start with cans. The bloom pop may not be the best example, but imagine this is a Coca-Cola
00:01:16.100 because there's an actual study done at Columbia University where they use something called
00:01:20.400 stimulated ramen scattering to look at nanoplastics.
00:01:24.500 And I want you to guess how many nanoplastics they found
00:01:28.000 in a single can of Coke using this microscopy.
00:01:33.260 Now, nanoplastics are particles of plastics
00:01:35.340 that are less than one micrometer in size.
00:01:37.960 You have microplastics, which are larger than a micrometer.
00:01:41.060 Yeah, you wanna play this?
00:01:42.140 This what?
00:01:43.260 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:01:45.840 We'll talk about this too.
00:01:47.140 So guess how many microplastics they found
00:01:49.320 in a can of Coke.
00:01:50.320 How many?
00:01:51.060 3.7 million in a single can of Coke.
00:01:55.020 What does that mean to us?
00:01:55.900 That's a lot of microplastics.
00:01:58.040 The same study, the same group at Columbia found 250,000 nanoplastics.
00:02:03.560 15 times more, 16 times more than just that.
00:02:06.700 In a plastic bottle, right?
00:02:08.700 So plastic bottles, 250,000 microplastics per liter.
00:02:12.060 3.7 million.
00:02:12.520 3.7 million in a can of Coke.
00:02:14.660 Now, the numbers just mean that on a daily basis, we are ingesting millions and millions of
00:02:21.960 nanoplastics. And if you look at this, when you actually assay this, we are literally full of
00:02:27.780 these plastic particles. They've been found in every single man that's ever been studied in
00:02:33.340 their testicles. They've been found in brain, ovaries, kidneys. Every organ in our body is
00:02:37.460 full of these particles. They can directly be damaging to our ability to produce hormones.
00:02:42.860 They can directly affect the ability of these cells in our testicles to produce hormones.
00:02:47.080 And these microplastics, these little particles of plastic, and I know I sound doom and gloom
00:02:50.580 here, but I'm just giving information so people can make better choices.
00:02:53.260 They can carry, like a Trojan horse, BPA, endocrine disruptor, right?
00:02:57.940 PFAs, forever chemicals.
00:02:59.180 They can carry pesticides.
00:03:00.540 They can carry phthalates.
00:03:01.680 The plastic particles bring in other chemicals.
00:03:04.600 So reducing our exposure to plastic is probably one of the single most important things we
00:03:10.240 could do in our lives for men or women and the reason we have this one is because pat what is
00:03:16.780 this cup made out of paper it's actually lined with plastic this is lined with plastic it's
00:03:22.460 lined with plastic in here because if this were pure paper the liquid would soak through so if
00:03:26.700 you soak this paper in in water you can peel away the paper and see the plastic in here it looks like
00:03:33.500 it looks like a condom i've done this multiple times in my social media like a condom it looks
00:03:37.200 like a condom so we're drinking water out of a cup this is also a condom on the inside you can
00:03:41.220 use sodium hydroxide and dissolve the aluminum and there's a condom on the inside of this can
00:03:46.180 so the the reason the coke has so many microplastics is because it's probably acidic
00:03:50.980 this is going to be a lot of microplastics when you pour your boiling coffee into the paper cup
00:03:57.780 and it is just exploding plastic particles into your coffee so we think about this
00:04:02.280 and i said at the beginning of this podcast that this wasn't going to be easy for you
00:04:06.380 or for anyone, but I think knowledge is power and you know better, you do better.
00:04:10.340 When you reduce your exposure to plastics, whether it's cans, plastic bottles, paper cups,
00:04:16.320 which are lined with plastic, plastic containers that you should never store your food or heat
00:04:21.860 your food in, you will significantly improve your health, probably increase your testosterone,
00:04:27.360 maybe improve your erectile dysfunction without these medications.
00:04:31.400 Just because of plastics.
00:04:33.560 I think plastics are the coming storm for humans.
00:04:37.000 This is the storm.
00:04:38.520 This is the thing that we are not seeing.
00:04:40.700 Plastics, in my opinion, I could be wrong, this is the new smoke.
00:04:44.160 So now you drink out of a, you brought your own bottle of water.
00:04:47.400 We gave you the bottle of water.
00:04:48.500 You refused it.
00:04:49.200 You took, you brought your own.
00:04:50.260 It's in glass.
00:04:51.060 Yeah.
00:04:51.400 And I just want to mention that there was a study saying, oh, glass bottled water has more microplastics than plastic.
00:04:56.980 But if you look at that study carefully, it only looked at large particles.
00:05:00.720 And the numbers they were suggesting were three to four microplastics per liter.
00:05:04.860 So that's what I want to contrast.
00:05:06.380 three to four microplastics per liter in a glass water bottle.
00:05:11.140 Which is 3.7 million nanoplastics.
00:05:14.300 And 250,000 in this guy.
00:05:15.840 Yes.
00:05:16.640 Wow.
00:05:17.160 So don't think about microplastics.
00:05:19.060 So what do I do when I go to a restaurant and I say,
00:05:21.080 can I have some water?
00:05:21.820 What do you tell them?
00:05:22.520 Do you bring your own water when you go to a restaurant?
00:05:24.040 No, you could ask for bottled water at a restaurant.
00:05:26.060 I think most people would understand you don't want to drink tap water, right?
00:05:33.120 Because tap water has other problems, whether it's forever.
00:05:35.280 Tap water is a major source of exposure for humans for Forever Chemicals, which are the PFAs.
00:05:41.000 And Forever Chemicals do what they say.
00:05:42.840 They kind of stick around in the environment and they can stick around in our bodies.
00:05:45.940 And these are known endocrine disruptors.
00:05:48.080 So you don't want to be drinking tap water.
00:05:49.840 So you go to a restaurant, you should probably be having a nice dinner and using bottled water.
00:05:55.080 Ask them, what water do you have?
00:05:56.680 Is it in glass? 1.00
00:05:58.700 I don't think many nice restaurants are going to serve you Fijian plastic, but sometimes they do. 1.00
00:06:02.520 make sure it's in glass and it can be sparkling or still and any there is variability in the
00:06:08.760 quality of glass bottled waters i did a study which is on my youtube channel and i compared
00:06:13.260 bottled waters any bottled water in plastic is going to be better than um tap water so that's
00:06:20.180 what you want to do but thinking about your water i think most people could significantly improve
00:06:24.800 their toxin exposure just by putting a reverse osmosis filter under the sink in their house
00:06:30.020 four to six hundred dollars all the water you drink is going to be very very clean because 1.00
00:06:36.500 it's reverse osmosis you're going to fix all these things gents if you're watching this remember
00:06:40.480 saladino paul is on menecht so you may have some private question you want to ask him that's the
00:06:44.680 whole purpose of menecht go menecht him he actually responds back to uh back on menecht and very
00:06:49.880 popular on menecht with the questions guys are asking him so ed clear simple stuff like i like
00:06:55.900 anything that's very simple get rid of plastics is what you're talking improve the quality of
00:07:00.300 your foods and like we said with jeremy renner like okay did you need trt fix all the other
00:07:04.620 things first he had an injury right so he couldn't move and he had some things that i don't know how
00:07:09.060 many bones he broke something happened to the guy if i'm not mistaken what happened to him did he
00:07:13.400 get snowplow accident oh yeah he got into oh so he couldn't even move his body to increase his
00:07:18.320 testosterone so maybe for him he needed it maybe use that yeah hey guys i am paul saladino you can
00:07:24.100 find me on Manect. If you have any questions about diet, health, recovering from chronic
