Toxins & Hormones — What’s Really Going On in Your Body
You’ve probably heard the word “toxins” tossed around a lot. But what does that really mean when it comes to your health—and especially your hormones? The truth is, toxins aren’t just “out there” in polluted air or dirty water. Many sneak into our daily routines through products we use and foods we eat. And when these chemicals build up, they can throw off the delicate balance of our hormones.
How Toxins Affect Hormones:
-
Endocrine disruptors: Many chemicals mimic estrogen or block receptor sites, leading to imbalances.
-
Liver overload: The liver is your body’s detox HQ. If it’s too busy processing chemicals, hormones like estrogen don’t get broken down properly.
- Inflammation: Toxins drive low-grade inflammation, which interferes with hormone signaling.
- Metabolism shifts: Certain chemicals (like BPA) have been linked to weight gain and insulin resistance, both tied to hormonal imbalance.
When you reduce toxin exposure, you’re not just “being healthy”, you’re protecting your hormones, energy, mood, and fertility.
