It’s no wonder hormone imbalances are so common these days. We are exposed to between 80,000 to 100,000 synthetic toxic chemicals, as well as heavy metals, in our everyday lives, only a handful of which have been tested for human safety.
Most people use these chemicals in their homes, on their body, and on their gardens and lawns.
They are in our food, water, and air.
We are exposed to far more toxins than our grandparents were 50 years ago. It’s no surprise we also suffer from far more health issues and diseases.
Experts say we carry more than 700 chemicals in our bodies, and those are just the ones they tested. With tens of thousands of chemicals in our environment, there is no telling how many we truly carry in our bodies.
Many chemicals and heavy metals in our environment and in the products we use are “endocrine disrupters.” This means they affect the hormone system and can cause imbalances.
They mimic estrogen and compete with it at cellular receptor sites and deplete the body of antioxidants while promoting inflammation, both of which contribute to hormonal imbalances. These links can even begin in utero.
Toxins have been linked to infertility, PCOS, declining estrogen or testosterone, estrogen dominance, endometriosis, PMS, and cancer.
EMFs have also been linked to myriad health imbalances, including those of the endocrine system. EMF stands for electromagnetic field and is the term used to describe the cellular, wireless, microwave, and electrical fields we are exposed to these days at unprecedented levels in human history.
In fact, experts say that if we could see EMFs we would not be able to drive due to the lack of visibility.
Although you can’t completely escape toxins or EMFs, it’s important to reduce the burden as much as possible. Use non-toxic ingredients in your home, on your body, and on your landscaping.
Eat a whole foods diet that is free of added chemicals and inflammatory foods so your body’s antioxidant reserves are supported.
