🌿 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

🔎 The Toxic 5 Explained:

  • Heavy Metals – Found in water, soil, and old infrastructure; disrupt hormone function and damage sperm/egg quality.
  • Endocrine Disruptors – Hidden in plastics, canned goods, and even "clean" cosmetics; silently mess with hormone balance.
  • Glyphosate – A pesticide commonly found in non-organic foods and feminine hygiene products; impacts gut and vaginal microbiomes.
  • Mold Exposure – Often unnoticed in homes; delays conception and triggers hormonal imbalance and recurrent loss.
  • Chronic Infections – Stress the immune system and rob resources from reproductive health; often missed without proper testing.

🧠 Plus, we dive into:

  • The gut-hormone-fertility connection
  • Why detoxing your environment is more critical than taking supplements
  • The essential role of mind-body healing and addressing trauma for conception
  • Simple product swaps to reduce toxin exposure without overwhelm

🔥 Key Takeaways:
  • Step-by-step strategies for starting your low-tox fertility lifestyle
  • How to avoid greenwashing traps (like “BPA-free” that still isn’t safe!)
  • Building a long-term, toxin-free environment that supports your fertility dreams
