Joe Rogan was left stunned after his recent podcast guests dropped a bombshell about the alarming health crisis Americans are facing. The UFC commentator had two notable doctors on episode #2210 of his popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience.
During the segment, doctors Calley and Casey Means delved deep into the failing state of Americans' health, touching on the various neuro-development and degenerative issues people are facing in addition to other ailments.
Among the most alarming revelations the doctors made was that the U.S. holds the grim distinction of having the highest number of cancer patients, and early onset dementia in the country has tripled since 2012. The nation's birth rate also reached a new record low in 2023, as the U.S. registered only 55 births for every 1000 females between the age of 15-44.

Speaking about the declining birth rates, Dr. Casey Means said:
"Then we look at kind of the hormonal side of things, we've got girls going through puberty much earlier than they ever were. Of continents on Earth, we have the earliest puberty rates right now... Then you've got in mid-life you look at women and infertility is through the roof. You've got PCOS [Polycystic Ovary Syndrome] is affecting 26% of women. This is a metabolic fertility issue. It's the leading cause of infertility in the country."

Researchers link early puberty to menstrual problems and even infertility in girls. Dr. Casey Mean believes an estrogen-excessive environment is what has contributed to a rise in such cases in America.
During the podcast, she told Joe Rogan that excessive plastic usage, chemical fertilizers, and visceral fat were the leading causes of increased estrogen levels in the human body. She added:
"Plastic, when it breaks down it acts as a xenoestrogen... We've got plastic everywhere... There was this recent study that was done that showed a hundred percent of placenta that were diceted had micro plastics."
She also focused on atrazine, a chemical herbicide used on crops including corn, claiming that it has the potential to contaminate groundwater and, in turn, disrupt hormone cycles.
