Chemicals are all around us—in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and even in the products we use daily.
But did you know these chemicals can mess with your hormones? These troublemakers are known as “endocrine disruptors,” and they can seriously throw your hormones out of balance. In my functional medicine and health coaching practice for women, when I do hormone testing I see a lot of hormone imbalances.
Many of these chemicals interfere with your estrogen levels, which can increase your risk for various health issues. So, it’s crucial to be mindful of what you’re exposing your body to. Let’s dive deeper into what endocrine disruptors are and how you can protect yourself from their harmful effects.
Why Should You Care About Endocrine Disruptors?
Endocrine disruptors are harmful chemicals that can mess with your hormones. They are found in everyday items like plastics, cosmetics, and even foods. For women, these chemicals are especially concerning because they can:
- Cause Hormonal Imbalances: Leading to irregular periods and mood swings
- Affect Reproductive Health: Making it harder to get pregnant
- Increase Breast Cancer Risk: By mimicking estrogen
- Impact Pregnancy: Affecting fetal development
Common Sources:
- Plastics: Water bottles and food containers
- Personal Care Products: Shampoos, lotions, and makeup
- Food: Processed foods and canned goods
- Household Products: Cleaning supplies and air fresheners
Easy Tips to Reduce Exposure:
- Use BPA-free plastics
- Choose natural and organic personal care products
- Eat fresh, unprocessed organic foods
- Use natural cleaning products
- Learn what produce is a “Dirty Dozen” or “Clean 15” (this can help you know how to choose toxin free produce)
By being aware and making small changes, you can help protect your health from these hidden chemicals.
