Household Items That May Be Affecting Your Fertility
Episode description
A xenoestrogen is a type of endocrine disruptor that has an oestrogen-like effect on the body and a significant effect on your fertility.
We know that oestrogen is a key hormone for a healthy menstrual cycle, but when xenoestrogens enter our bodies they block oestrogen receptors so they can’t do their job.
The body thinks there’s not enough oestrogen available and begins to produce more. This will increase the total amount of oestrogen in our bodies and cause oestrogen dominance.
Xenoestrogens don’t break down, they’re stored in our fat cells and a build up over time can lead to breast cancer, obesity, infertility, miscarriage, endometriosis, early onset puberty and diabetes.
In this episode of The Mana Women's Wellness Podcast, I'm diving deep into the common household items that contain xenoestrogens and hormone disruptors.
Here’s What We’re Talking About:
- Hormone disruptors and xenoestrogens and why they are everywhere!
- Common household items to replace immediately.
- Where to start?
- How to reduce your exposure and protect your fertility.
