This is how a CHEMICAL WAR is being waged

Our hormones are constantly interacting with our genetics, our biology, and our experiences. Every bite we take, every thought we have, every move we make is a hormonal experience. At the same time, our hormones must all work in symphony with each other. When all is firing well, we have hormonal harmony.
This harmony is constantly threatened by our environment and modern lifestyles by design. We are surrounded by compounds that interfere with the production, expression, conversion or detoxification of our hormones and the glands that produce them. These compounds are called Endocrine Disruptors.
The Endocrine System is responsible for secreting hormones into our bloodstream and regulating those hormones. Proper hormone balance is vital for metabolism, fertility, libido, stress response, reproduction, blood sugar control, mood, and bone building and resorption.
Having a healthy endocrine system and balanced hormones is important for our health overall. When our hormones (such as cortisol, thyroid, insulin, and sex hormones) get out of whack, we start to see some health issues including adrenal dysfunction, hyperthyroidism (including Grave’s Disease), pituitary malfunction, low or non-existent libido, diabetes, weight gain, and more.
Our endocrine system is a workhorse, but a delicate one, and taking care of it is important. This means managing stress and most importantly eating organic whole foods for your body and genetics, exercising regularly and limiting the toxins we put in, and on our bodies!
