Your endocrine system is made up of multiple organs that produce hormones to balance and maintain your body’s health. Any substance that can bind and block or disrupt the receptor sites for your hormones are called endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors can lead to hormone imbalance, inflammation, auto-immune disease, diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. Endocrine disruptors are found in all aspects of daily life including: food, water, makeup, medications, ...car exhaust/ air pollutants, and even grass lawns. How can you protect yourself from endocrine disruptors? Do your best to avoid them in the first place. Eat as clean as possible, wash all your fruits and veggies (even organic ones), drink filtered water (not from plastic bottles), avoid sugars and other inflammatory foods, move and sweat it out of your system.
