You may have heard about BPA found in plastics being harmful to your health. We’ve all been told not to leave disposable water bottles in our car on a hot sunny day at least once before – and if you haven’t, don’t do it!! But there’s more than just BPA hiding in our everyday foods, personal care products, air, water, and more.
Today, Dr. Jenna Hua, an environmental health scientist, dietician, and founder of Million Markers came on the podcast to educate us about endocrine-disruptors such as BPA. She gives us an overview of the most common toxins to look out for as well as some of the sneaky names manufacturers give them to try to disguise them. Unfortunately, many of these chemicals aren’t regulated in the US as they are in other countries, meaning our exposure to them is much higher than we might realize. This can lead to a multitude of health problems such as infertility in both men and women, developmental issues, breast cancer, diabetes, and more.
She shares some of the biggest culprits containing endocrine-disrupting chemicals like plastic containers and bottles, skincare products, inorganic foods, and more. She offers tips on how to avoid them, what we can replace these products with if they’re accessible to us, and how to get tested to see what toxins might be lurking in our bodies.
