WHEN HORMONES GO WRONG
ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS are chemicals,
or chemical mixtures, that interfere with normal hormone action

HORMONE HEALTH: TOXIC TRENDS
The most sensitive window of exposure to EDCs is during critical periods of development.

OESTROGEN DETOX More dietary fibre: Kale, spinach and broccoli are your friends!
Supplements: Lecithin (choline), L- taurine, milk thistle, dandelion, calcium-d-glucarate, DIM and Brevail (from flaxseed)
Drink chamomile tea before bed and green tea 3- 4 cups daily
Natural bioidentical progesterone cream*
Aerobic exercise
Optimise your weight. Body fat feeds on oestrogen and produces more oestrogen! Eat Paleo and vegetarian mix with fermented foods. AVOID: alcohol, caffeine, dairy products except natural yogurt, gluten, sugar, processed and fried foods.
Limiting xenoestrogens
Drink water
Skin brushing
Massage
Breathe deeply
