The Science Behind Endocrine Disruptors! (& How to Approach it Without Fear!)

Описание: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are hidden in the products we use and environments we live in — and they can have serious effects on hormones, brain development, and long-term health.
In this episode of Wellness Big Sis: The Pod, part of the Goalchella podcast festival, we chat with Dr. Emily about:
• What endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are and where they’re found
• How EDCs interfere with hormone communication in the body
• The systems most sensitive to endocrine disruption — including brain, gonads, thyroid, bone, and fat
• Her research on EDC exposure in early life and its impact on brain development and behavior
• Multi-generational effects of EDC exposure
• Everyday products and experiences that may contain high levels of EDCs
• Safe vs. unsafe exposure levels and why this depends on age and sex
• Practical tips for minimizing EDC exposure
• EndoScreen.org — a resource to help women and families navigate EDCs
This episode empowers you to make informed choices about your environment, protect your health, and understand how chemicals in everyday life can influence hormones, behavior, and development.
