Ep. 233 How What Your Wear Impacts Your Hormones + Fertility


Listen Later

When we think about health, we often focus on food, supplements, and exercise—but what about the clothes we wear every day? In this episode, I’m diving into how clean, natural fibers can support hormone balance, fertility, and overall wellbeing… and why synthetic fabrics might be quietly undermining your health.

We’ll talk about:

  • The difference between natural and synthetic fibers

  • How chemicals in clothing can act as endocrine disruptors

  • Research linking synthetic fabrics—like polyester—to fertility issues

  • Simple swaps and certifications to look for when upgrading your wardrobe

  • How to reduce exposure without overhauling your entire closet overnight

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • 🌱 Natural Fibers 101 – Cotton, linen, hemp, silk, and wool benefits for skin, breathability, and reducing irritation.

  • 🧪 The Risks of Synthetics – How polyester, nylon, and acrylic can shed microplastics, leach phthalates, and contain hormone-disrupting chemicals like BPA and PFAS.

  • 👕 Practical Swaps – Why you should start with the clothes closest to your skin. Some of my favorites LINKED HERE

  • ♻️ Sustainable & Health-Friendly Choices – Gradual ways to transition, including second-hand natural fibers and mindful washing practices.
