Let’s talk about hormone disrupters. I’ve linked a great article on common disrupters. They play a big role in our daily exposure to things that can lead to hormone imbalance for both men and women, PCOS, gynecological cancer risk, infertility and so much more. Hormone imbalance, coupled with leaky gut, weak adrenals, and poor detoxification often creates estrogen dominance, progesterone defeciencies, and often imbalance of testosterone. It also disrupts vital nutrients/ minerals important for hormone balance.
Hormone balance is not just about our diet, exercise, genetics etc, our environment plays a large role as well.
For example, commercial tampons are connected to female infertility, gynecological cancers, and hormone dysregulation. Plastics in active wear, certain makeup brands, hair care, kitchen and cleaning chemicals just to name a few.
Be mindful of what your hormone disrupters are, they play a larger role in your health than you may realize.
Consider small swaps at a time.
