Welcome back to the Endo Belly Girl Podcast! Today marks the final episode in our hormone series, and we’re diving into a super important topic: endocrine-disrupting chemicals. These are super important to be aware of since they can cause hormone disruption!

These are the hidden substances that mess with your hormones and can be a huge factor when managing endometriosis. This is a massive topic, so I’ll be highlighting the chemicals that most impact endometriosis, how to identify them, and steps to create a more toxic-free home.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

– What endocrine disruptors are and how they impact your hormones and body.

– The role of xenoestrogens, how they raise estrogen levels, and why you should be aware of them.

– What BPA is, where it hides, and why even BPA-free products require caution.

– The effects of Phthalates on your body and hormones, where they’re found, and how to avoid them.

– What PFA/PFCs are, their impact on your health, and where you might encounter them.

– The risks associated with pesticides, how they influence your body, and tips to avoid exposure.

– Practical steps to create a less toxic home without feeling overwhelmed—start small and build from there.

You don’t need to throw everything out right away. Gradually replace items as you run out and focus on the products that will have the biggest impact on your health first.

I’ve linked resources and my free guide to toxic-free living below to help you on this journey. Remember, it’s about progress, not perfection—every step toward a cleaner environment is a win for your health.  There’s a lot of information here, so take it one step at a time. You’ve got this!
