what I'm eating this labor day weekend

3/ Full recovery is anticipated within a complete semen generation cycle (spermatogenesis cycle), approx 10 weeks.

Direct experiments on dry sauna and fertility markers haven't been reported, but clinical studies have shown the time-resolved effects of transient (localized heat

1/ One week post re-icing: misleading partial recovery (values compared to pre-sauna baseline)
total motile count ↓2%
motility ↓ 34%
total count ↑ 56%

4 weeks post re-icing: 2nd wave of heat effects: large drop in count, motility.
total motile count ↓ 56%
motility ↓ 50%

2/ My icing protocol

+ ice the boys during sauna
+ use a non-toxic, reusable ice pack material
+ I wear cotton boxers and shorts
+ place ice packs in-between boxers/shorts
+ keep in place for the entire session

I sacrificed my fertility for this message:
ice your balls in the sauna

After icing improved my fertility markers,
I removed the ice to validate

The boys suffered. More than we initially thought.
Here’s my latest results explained. 🧵

0/ Results from sauna experiment

27 daily sauna sessions with ice on balls:
+ total motile count ↑ 57%
+ motility ↑ 16%,
+ total count ↑ 43%

2 weeks without icing (15 sauna sessions with full heat on balls)

my boys’ motility decreased, counts unaffected
total motile count

The next 10 years will change many fundamental ideas of life and being human.
