[00:21:20] Oh my God, you went to space, it's unbelievable, from
[00:21:24] slavery to space travel in four
[00:21:27] generations.
[00:21:29] It was a good thing, a positive thing. We thought we were going to be
[00:21:33] friends forever. Our destiny is on
[00:21:37] planet Mars. Now the big question is who will get there
[00:21:40] first? Once upon a time in space,
[00:21:44] soon on BBC Persian
[00:21:46] TV.
[00:21:59] Men have resorted to unproven and
[00:22:02] unusual methods to increase the quality of their sperm. This is
[00:22:06] while concerns about the decrease in sperm count in
[00:22:09] the world have
[00:22:10] increased.
[00:23:20] Many diseases are related to low sperm count. This really scares
[00:23:24] me. I started wearing 100% cotton clothes, clothes that
[00:23:28] don't have microplastics. Because microplastics can affect hormones and
[00:23:31] fertility, and this is one of my biggest fears. One of the people
[00:23:35] who influenced me a lot was Brian Johnson. He started talking about
[00:23:38] the importance of fertility in men. Brian
[00:23:40] Johnson, a longevity influencer, is
[00:23:44] just one of the people who has given advice about
[00:23:47] fertility that oversimplifies
[00:24:23] the issue and profits from people's anxiety?
[00:24:27] I think some messages are really important and should be said,
[00:24:30] but the danger is that some people speculate and say wrong
[00:24:34] things, and at worst, they may lead people to do
[00:24:38] things that are
[00:24:39] harmful to them.
[00:24:47] course for testosterone optimization yeah. Yes, many men these
[00:24:51] days are worried. They have been thinking about the future for years
[00:24:55] and are worried about their fertility. One of
[00:24:57] these influencers is Lucas. He is a naturopath,
[00:25:01] meaning an alternative medicine therapist. He has
[00:25:04] hundreds of thousands of followers on social media and sells
[00:25:07] supplement training courses and consultations. Lucas first
[00:25:11] started with recommendations on increasing testosterone.
[00:25:15] But then he realized men are worried about their
[00:25:18] fertility.
[00:25:50] Some of the men I talked to put red
[00:25:53] light devices near their testicles. I'm not saying there's
[00:25:57] a lot of research behind this method, but based on animal
[00:26:00] data, I think it will
[00:28:08] after cutting everything off, he meets with one of the leading
[00:28:12] endocrinologists and fertility specialists. You did exactly
[00:28:16] the right thing, and that's the hardest part. So good for you for
[00:28:20] stopping use. How long has it been since your
[00:28:23] last use? I last used it around October or November last
[00:28:26] year. I'm much better. The first two months were really terrible. How
[00:28:30] are you now? I think at that time.
[00:30:24] The fall of the strongholds of the Republicans in the
[00:30:27] US midterm elections. Democrats won
[00:30:30] both houses of Congress.
[00:30:32] Trump and Vance conceded
[00:30:38] the impact of the war on the defeat of the Republicans.
[00:30:41] The US President, however, still defends the decision to attack
[00:30:45] Iran. John Asal.
[00:30:49] Reaction of Iranian officials to
[00:30:52] the results of the US midterm elections, from expressing
[00:30:56] confidence to
