This week on the podcast, Genevieve and Cassie sit down to talk about the role endocrine disruptors like BPA, PFCs, flame retardants, and phthalates play in our hormonal health. In this episode, Cassie walks us through some basics of the endocrine system, how endocrine disruptors can cause estrogen overload, and signs you could be struggling with estrogen dominance. Make sure to tune in next week, we’ll be discussing estrogen dominance in more detail as well as how to support your body’s natural healing processes.
