First up, what is the endocrine system🤔? The endocrine system is the master hormone regulating and releasing system that controls everything in our bodies (i.e. metabolism, mood, growth & development, sleep, fertility, blood pressure).🌟
Key players🗝:
+hypothalamus
+pituitary
+thyroid
+parathyroid
+adrenal
+pineal
+pancreas
+ovaries
+testes
Many things affect our endocrine system, specifically food🍎, stress😵💫, our environment🌏, other health conditions like diabetes and PCOS💥, and toxic chemicals☠️ (BPA, dioxin, atrazine phthalates, perchlorate, fire retardants, lead arsenic, mercury, PFCs, pesticides, and glycol ethers).
STEP 1️⃣ in reducing your toxin load: Minimize your plastic use and exposure! Plastic is really high in BPA ❌ & phthalates ❌ which negatively affect your endocrine system, and thus your hormones.
Which simple swap are you going to work on this month? ☺️
