INSIGHT

Endocrine Disruptor Effects

  • Endocrine disruptors like DES have significant multi-generational impacts on hormone health and reproductive issues.
  • Women are more vulnerable to these disruptors due to lower testosterone levels compared to men.
ADVICE

Vaginal Health

  • Avoid applying endocrine disruptors directly to the vaginal area due to its vascular nature.
  • Use natural lubes like coconut oil mixed with aloe vera gel and essential oils.
INSIGHT

Estrogen and Progesterone

  • Estrogen has been unfairly demonized due to studies on synthetic hormones, not bioidentical ones.
  • Oral estrogens increase inflammatory markers, while bioidentical progesterone does not increase breast cancer risk.
