In a world where we are consistently exposed to endocrine disrupters, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep our hormones consistently balanced. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that can interfere with endocrine (or hormone) systems at certain doses. These disruptions can cause cancerous tumors, birth defects, and other developmental disorders. Any system in the body controlled by hormones can be derailed by hormone disruptors. Your body will communicate a number of messengers in the form of symptoms as a way of letting you know that you are out of balance. Have a look at the image on this post for a non exhaustive list of messages. Check my list below to gather an understanding of what your body may be trying to communicate with you.1. Flab and cellulite (estrogen or high insulin)
2. Poor sleep (low estrogen and/or progesterone, high or low cortisol)
3. Weight gain (high or low cortisol, high or low estrogen, low thyroid or high insulin)
4. Fatigue (low thyroid, high or low cortisol, low estrogen, high insulin)
5. Incontinence (low estrogen)
6. Hair loss, thinning hair (low or high thyroid, high testosterone or high estrogen)
7. Crying spells (low cortisol)
8. Belly fat (high testosterone or high insulin)
9. Hip and thigh fat or cellulite (high estrogen)
10. High cholesterol (low thyroid hormones)
11. Foggy brain (low thyroid hormones, low estrogen, low cortisol)
12. Anxiety, depression, feeling “blah” (low thyroid, high/low cortisol)
13. Facial hair (high testosterone or high estrogen)
