In this conversation, I’m joined by Bridget Walton a Woman's Hormone Coach as we dive deep into the fascinating yet concerning world of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, or EDCs, and their impact on women’s hormonal health. Together, we break down what EDCs are and where they come from—whether it’s personal care products, household items, or even the food we eat. We explore how these chemicals can disrupt menstrual cycles, fertility, and overall well-being, shedding light on the science behind their effects.

Our discussion also touches on practical ways to minimize exposure, from choosing safer products to making small but meaningful lifestyle changes. We don’t shy away from addressing the challenges, including widespread misconceptions and the prevalence of greenwashing in the marketplace. By the end, listeners will walk away with actionable steps to protect their health and promote sustainability, empowered with knowledge to make informed decisions for themselves, their families, and Mother Earth.
