E99. How Endocrine Disruptors Harm Fertility & Fecundity | Dr. Paul Magarelli, Reproductive Endocrinologist (Part 2)

Practical Nontoxic Living™ with Sophia Ruan Gushée

This episode features an excerpt from Ruan Living's 40-Day Home Detox masterclass with renowned reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Paul Magarelli. He explains how endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs)—found in plastics, personal care products, pesticides, and air pollution—are contributing to declining sperm counts, hormone imbalances, miscarriages, and lower embryo viability.

With over 1,000 known EDCs in our daily environments, Dr. Magarelli shares clinical insights into how these invisible toxicants are silently impacting fertility, IVF outcomes, and long-term child development.

You'll learn:

• The 4 critical fertility checkpoints: sperm, egg, uterus, and fallopian tubes

• How EDCs impair sperm motility, DNA quality, and embryo implantation

• Why miscarriage rates are rising and what fecundity really means

• The transgenerational effects of chemical exposures on reproductive health

• What you can do now to support a fertile, healthy body

This conversation is an urgent yet hopeful reminder that detoxing your home and reducing endocrine disruptors can make a real difference—not just for you, but for generations to come.

🎧 Part of the 40-Day Home Detox from Ruan Living, this masterclass clip empowers you with science-based insights and practical guidance.
