In this episode, we explore the exposome—the sum of all the environmental exposures you face throughout your life—and how it directly impacts your thyroid, hormonal balance, weight, and overall health.

You’ll learn how everyday exposures like air pollution, BPA, mold, EMFs, and even chronic stress can disrupt your endocrine system. We dive into how these factors contribute to thyroid dysfunction, intensify perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, and make weight loss more difficult by interfering with your metabolism, appetite, and insulin regulation.

Along the way, we feature expert insights from environmental health leader Dr. Lisa Nagy, who shares some simple, science-backed strategies to reduce your toxic load—from choosing organic foods and filtering your air and water, to limiting EMF exposure, addressing mold in your home, and supporting natural detox through better sleep, stress management, and nutrition.

If you’ve been struggling with hypothyroidism, navigating hormonal changes in midlife, or hitting frustrating roadblocks with weight loss, this episode will help connect the dots between your environment and your hormones. We also introduce helpful tools like the BREESI and QEESI to help you identify your own sensitivities and take action.

Tune in and learn how to take control of the hidden environmental factors affecting your health—because understanding the exposome can help you get control over your hormones.
