117. Reducing Toxins In Your Day
Endocrine disruptors are a group of chemical toxins that can interfere with our hormonal balance, potentially worsen PCOS symptoms. These chemicals are present in many common household products, food containers, personal care items, and even in the environment around us.
But don't worry! There are practical steps we can take to minimize exposure and promote a healthier hormonal environment. Today's I'm sharing 3 easy (and relatively affordable) ways to get started if you want to reduce your exposure to endocrine disruptors. This is a recording of a recent FB live.
On this episode we discussed:
- When and how to reduce plastic exposure and my favorite plastic-free water bottle brands.
- Organic produce- is it worth the higher price? How to choose your produce and reduce exposure to pesticides.
- How to lower your exposure to toxins from beauty and household products and what specific things to look for when "cleaning up" your beauty and cleaning routines.
