How to Safeguard Your Hormone Health & Fertility | Dr. Shanna Swan

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Shanna Swan, Ph.D., professor of
environmental medicine and reproductive health at the Mount Sinai
School of Medicine. Dr. Swan is the world’s leading expert on the
harmful impact of chemicals in our food, water, cosmetics, and
various household and consumer products on our hormones, and the
consequences for fertility and overall reproductive health. She
explains how exposure to phthalates and other endocrine disruptors
adversely impacts fetal development, puberty, and the adult brain
and body. We discuss the global decline in human fertility due to
disruptive environmental toxins, such as pesticides, and certain
foods and beverages we consume. We discuss practical strategies to
minimize exposure to harmful chemicals, such as phthalates,
bisphenol A (BPA), BPS, and PFAS. This includes reducing disposable
plastic use, making healthier food preparation, consumption, and
storage choices, and selecting personal and household products that
don’t contain harmful toxins. This episode allows you to assess
your risk of exposure to endocrine disruptors accurately and
empowers you to take control of your hormone health and fertility.
