Overview
The speaker discusses two habits that may negatively affect testosterone levels: carrying a phone in the pocket and using a laptop on the lap, explaining the potential risks and suggesting ways to minimize harm.
Phone in Pocket and Testosterone
- Keeping a phone in your pocket exposes the area to electromagnetic signals (EMS), which may reduce testosterone levels.
- Studies suggest increased phone proximity and duration in the pocket correlate with lower testosterone.
Laptop Placement and Hormonal Health
- Placing a computer on the lap exposes the body to EMS and increased heat.
- Excess heat from laptops can reduce sperm count and lower testosterone by warming the testicles beyond optimal temperature.
Recommendations / Advice
- Avoid carrying your phone in your pocket to help maintain healthy testosterone levels.
- If you must carry your phone in your pocket, use airplane mode to reduce EMS exposure.
- Do not use your laptop directly on your lap; use a pillow as a barrier to protect against heat and EMS.
- Keeping electronics away from sensitive areas may help sustain optimal testosterone and reproductive health.
