For the former, think lots of colorful fruits and veggies, regular exercise, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/meditation-benefits\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">calming activities like meditation<\/a> and journaling. In terms of the latter, we should limit the likes of ultra-processed foods, unproductive outlets for stress management, and exposure to chemicals and products that can derail our health and well-being. On this last point, endocrine disruptors are one such culprit that we should take care to avoid\u2026 especially given their potential health risks and how prevalent these chemicals are.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Ahead, discover the ins and outs of endocrine disruptors\u2014including what they are exactly, how they can impact your health for the worse, and where to spot them. Plus: how to reduce your exposure from this day forward.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-endocrine-disruptors\">What Are Endocrine Disruptors?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>As its name would suggest, endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with your endocrine system. As the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/endocrine-disruption\/overview-endocrine-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">explains<\/a>, this all-important system is comprised of the body\u2019s hormones and is tasked with regulating biological processes such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brain and nervous system development<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reproductive function<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Metabolism and blood sugar regulation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>When endocrine disruptors, aka endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), interact with the endocrine system, a variety of health problems can ensue. \u201cThese chemicals can mimic hormones as they enter our bodies and interfere with the [normal] production and regulation of hormones,\u201d says board-certified family medicine physician <a href=\"https:\/\/drlaurapurdy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laura Purdy, MD<\/a>. As she continues, this can result in developmental difficulties, problems with reproduction, and a range of other health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"a2b0b8\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #a2b0b8;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Endocrine-Disruptors-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Endocrine Disruptors\" class=\"wp-image-39404 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-endocrine-disruptors-to-avoid\">7 Endocrine Disruptors to Avoid<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, endocrine disruptors exist at what seems like almost every turn\u2026 including in some surprising places. \u201cThey are found in products we use every day, including our food, what our food is stored in, products around the home, plastics, skincare, cosmetics, detergents, and toys,\u201d Dr. Purdy shares.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In other words, you can be exposed to them depending on what you touch, taste, and inhale\u2014and sometimes, this exposure is beyond your control.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the most ubiquitous endocrine disruptors, with tips to avoid or minimize your exposure:<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-bisphenol-a-bpa\">1. Bisphenol A (BPA)<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You might have seen certain products labeled as BPA-free, perhaps not fully knowing what that means but having a vague sense that it\u2019s less harmful for you. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a harmful chemical used in plastic, which Dr. Purdy says you\u2019ll find in everything from plastic serving ware to plastic toys. It also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.p65warnings.ca.gov\/fact-sheets\/bisphenol-bpa-canned-and-bottled-food-and-drinks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">exists<\/a> in some canned foods and drinks, jar lids, and bottle caps. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/static.ewg.org\/upload\/pdf\/EWG_Guide_EDC-08.22_C01.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Environmental Working Group<\/a> (EWG), BPA has the potential to cause or contribute to the risk of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Learning and behavioral issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/vitex-for-fertility\/\">Fertility<\/a> issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Abnormalities of the brain, heart, and nervous system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diabetes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Invest in BPA-free containers, and look for this callout on other plastic products. \u201cSwitching to glass over plastic when possible is a quick fix,\u201d Dr. Purdy adds.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-phthalates\">2. Phthalates<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Phthalates are another endocrine disruptor you\u2019ve likely heard of. \u201cPhthalates are also found in plastics, and even cosmetic products like nail polish and hairspray,\u201d says Dr. Purdy. Per a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8157593\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2021 review<\/a> in the journal <em>Healthcare<\/em>, chronic exposure to phthalates is associated with adverse effects related to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pregnancy success<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Child growth and development<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reproductive function and health<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> When shopping for cosmetics and personal care products, prioritize phthalate-free options.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-dioxins\">3. Dioxins<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/dioxin\/learn-about-dioxin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EPA<\/a>, dioxins are resistant to breaking down and thus accumulate in the environment and in our food chains. These highly toxic EDCs heighten the risk of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reproductive and developmental issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-the-immune-system-works\/\">Immune system<\/a> damage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hormonal imbalances<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cancer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>\u201cDioxins can be found in animal products we consume such as eggs, meat, milk, and butter,\u201d Dr. Purdy adds.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> The EPA notes that over 90 percent of dioxin exposure is via intake of animal fats. To minimize your risk, Dr. Purdy advises eating lean meat and\/or trimming the fat of animal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/why-do-we-need-protein\/\">protein<\/a> whenever possible, on top of adhering to a healthy, varied diet.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-pesticides\">4. Pesticides<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Pesticides are another family of endocrine disruptors that are likely to make it onto your plate. While pesticides (such as atrazine) discourage pests and fungi from growing on crops, they pose their own risks. Depending on the level of exposure and toxicity of a given pesticide, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9231402\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">potential health problems<\/a> include but aren\u2019t limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skin and eye irritation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Neurological problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/hypothyroidism-vs-hyperthyroidism\/\">Thyroid<\/a> conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allergic reactions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dysfunction in the reproductive organs (such as ovarian cysts and fertility issues)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> To minimize exposure to pesticides, Dr. Purdy advises washing your produce thoroughly, as well as buying organic fruits and veggies whenever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-heavy-metals\">5. Heavy metals<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>While you might enjoy heavy metal as a music genre, you\u2019ll definitely want to mute it on the endocrine-disrupting front. \u201cLead and mercury can be found in our everyday environments such as in soil,\u201d and thus our food and water, says Dr. Purdy\u2026 but that\u2019s not all. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safecosmetics.org\/chemicals\/lead-and-other-heavy-metals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Campaign for Safe Cosmetics<\/a>, heavy metals including lead, mercury, iron, nickel, chromium, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/zinc-benefits\/\">zinc<\/a>, and cadmium are found in countless personal care products such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Moisturizers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sunscreen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nail polish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lipstick<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foundation and concealer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blush<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whitening toothpastes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"d5bfad\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #d5bfad;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Endocrine-Disruptors-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition-.jpg\" alt=\"Endocrine Disruptors \" class=\"wp-image-39406 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Some metals, like iron and zinc, hold important functions in the body. Others, like lead and mercury, are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3514464\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">non-essential and potentially toxic<\/a>. In either case, an excess of heavy metals in the body are linked to adverse effects for your immune, reproductive, and nervous systems.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Be mindful of how much food you\u2019re consuming that either comes into contact with metal (such as canned foods) or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC10528236\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">readily absorbs it<\/a> (such as rice and some types of fish). On the skincare and makeup front, seek out clean beauty brands that don\u2019t use metals and other EDCs in their products.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>An Extra Tip<\/strong>: Incorporate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/19\/hormone-balance\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">HUM&#8217;s Hormone Balance<\/a> into your supplement routine, daily<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-perfluorinated-chemicals-pfcs\">6. Perfluorinated Chemicals (PFCs)<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>\u201cPerfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) can be found in cookware, specifically non-stick [pots and pans],\u201d says Dr. Purdy. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/system\/files\/documents\/2022-04\/ace3_perflurochemicals_updates_11_july_2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Per the EPA<\/a>, PFCs repel water and oil\u2014hence why they\u2019re commonly used in cookware in addition to some paper packaging, carpets, leather products, and some textiles. Microwave popcorn bags are another source of exposure to PFCs, yet people may also be exposed to them via meat, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/dairy-and-acne\/\">dairy<\/a>, and even house dust.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atsdr.cdc.gov\/sites\/pease\/documents\/perflourinated_chemicals_508.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences notes<\/a> that more research in humans is necessary to unpack the specific dangers of exposure, as current data is mixed on their health risks. However, animal studies show that some PFCs can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cause endocrine disruption<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hinder immune function<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adversely affect the liver and pancreas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cause developmental problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Dr. Purdy suggests investing in non-stick pans for cooking. Moreover, rid your home of dust as much as possible through regular cleaning and keep an air purifier in the rooms you spend the most time in.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-synthetic-fragrance\">7. Synthetic Fragrance<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>While certain scents may be pleasing to your nose, some fragrances can be anything but nice for your health. The term \u2018fragrance\u2019 in products\u2014ranging from skincare, deodorants, and perfumes to household cleaning liquids\u2014is basically a grab-bag name for all kinds of endocrine disruptors including phthalates, heavy metals, and parabens. Per a <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/28478814\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2017 review<\/a> in the journal <em>Medical Hypotheses<\/em>, the chemicals comprising synthetic fragrances \u201crun parallel with the unprecedented rates of diabetes, cancer, [and] neural ailments,\u201d among other health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> To reduce your exposure to a range of EDCs, Dr. Purdy advises going fragrance-free for your beauty buys and household cleaning supplies alike.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-bottom-line-on-endocrine-disruptors\">The Bottom Line on Endocrine Disruptors <\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, endocrine disruptors exist in everything from the food we eat and the products we buy to even the air we breathe. While this may be cause for concern, it\u2019s not exactly grounds for outright panic. Some forms of exposure may be outside of your immediate control, but you do have agency over others. \u201cLimiting this exposure starts with you and your personal overall lifestyle changes,\u201d says Dr. Purdy.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>A good place to start, she continues, is by making small changes\u2014such as skipping plastics whenever possible and diligently reading labels. In addition, you don\u2019t necessarily need to toss out all your canned food, plastic food packaging, non-&#8216;clean&#8217; skincare, and the like at this very second. Instead, you can gradually make smarter choices and healthier purchases going forward. \u201cMore exposure is more risk, especially when looked at over time,\u201d Dr. Purdy concludes. \u201cIt is best to limit this exposure as best as we can, and control what is in our control and what&#8217;s important to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"cta-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10 p-px md:rounded bg-white text-black relative  bg-no-repeat bg-cover aspect-[83\/48]\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BlogBackground_Quiz.jpg);\" >\n\n\t<div class=\"p-4 sm:p-6 w-[70%] md:w-2\/3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-2xl md:text-3xl font-display font-bold uppercase\">Build Your Supplement Routine<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-large btn-primary mt-4 md:mt-8 !no-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/get_started\" target=\"_blank\">Take The HUM Quiz<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the quest to lead a healthier lifestyle, there are any number of things we can add into and eliminate from our routines.
