In this episode of Hey Charles, Charles Ernst continues his discussion on declining testosterone, shifting the focus from food to environmental toxins. He explains how plastics, microplastics, and BPA from water bottles can leach into the body, potentially lowering testosterone.

Heavy metals in water and air further disrupt testosterone production, adding to fertility, mood, and health concerns. Charles stresses that while it’s unrealistic to eliminate all toxins, small changes like using stainless steel bottles, glass containers, and natural personal care products can help.

He also suggests air purifiers, houseplants, and sweating through exercise or saunas as practical detox strategies. Ultimately, his message is about consistent, small wins that protect long-term health instead of waiting until it’s too late
