Effects of cell phone radiation?

Andrew Huberman discussed the effects of cell phone radiation, particularly focusing on its impact on gonadal development and hormone levels. Chronic exposure to cell phone radiation might influence gonadal health, affecting sperm production and estrogenic output. Studies cited by Huberman show changes in hormone profiles, including decreases in cortisol, thyroid hormones, prolactin, and testosterone due to the proximity to cell phones and frequency of use. These findings suggest that the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and heat from cell phones can affect hormonal balance, which is crucial for various physiological functions 1.

Additionally, there is evidence indicating that cell phone use is linked to reduced sperm quality, regardless of the amount of time spent using the phone. The impact is due to the radiofrequency waves and heat produced by cell phones, which can disrupt the Leydig cells in the testes that are responsible for testosterone production, which is vital for sperm production 2.
