Women’s Health Article : Hormone Disruptors
According to Magnolia Pharmacy, “Exposure to heavy metals like mercury, lead, and aluminum has been linked to brain fog, memory loss, fatigue, and even immune dysfunction. These toxins can silently build up in your body through food, water, air and everyday products.” Learn about hormone disruptors, how they affect women’s health but most importantly to find solutions to these problems.
Hormone Disruptors are a root cause that lead to problems in Women’s Health
There are so many hormone disruptors out there that it has become increasingly difficult to keep our hormones balanced and in check. Not only do we face daily stressors such as work, but we now also have the added responsibility of consciously having to check (and recheck) all of our day to day items in our homes to keep them from hindering our hormones: from avoiding plastic to pesticides in food and toxic ingredients in our personal care products. It can all feel overwhelming but it is work that is necessary to live a longer, healthier life and for us ladies that means being able to have regular cycles despite the toxicity that are exposed to from the environment.
At the core of the problem is the fact that trouble seems to be everywhere and unless we take the time to slow down, read labels and truly make a conscious effort to stay in the clear, we basically fall prey to the trap of hormone disruptors. What are hormone disruptors? In a nutshell they can be chemical ingredients found in food, personal care products including but not limited to hair gels, shaving creams and soap. A hormone disruptor essentially blocks a hormone receptor which in the perfect world would bond with OUR hormones to create the expected, natural hormonal symphony that we should be able to produce in a non-toxic world. However, chemicals known as hormone disruptors jump the gun, block these hormone receptor sites and chaos ensues.
From feeling exhausted, to having either missed or extremely heavy and long periods, it is much more noticeable in women than it is in men because we can see how our hormones play out very vividly during our menstrual cycles (or lack thereof). This is NOT to say that men are unaffected by hormone disruptors. In fact, millionaire entrepreneur Bryan Johnson (the creator of the Blueprint Protocol) has pointed out that research shows that men now produce sperm with plastic in it. Gross!! This means that babies are being born with plastic as part of the raw materials that give life to them and that can’t be good for their DNA and their healthy development in general. This means that all men and women should make a concerted effort to detox unnatural substances out of their bodies.
One of the patterns we started noticing even before our days of running a holistic practice, was a shocking number of women who were all BELOW deficient in Vitamin D, had thyroid problems and were diagnosed with autoimmune diseases along with the dreaded period problems. These menstruation problems (and sometimes cysts) were later discovered to be a result of a combination of hormone imbalance and heavy metals toxicity, meaning that female reproductive tissues were in need of a serious detox to get rid of heavy metals. According to Magnolia Pharmacy, “Exposure to heavy metals like mercury, lead, and aluminum has been linked to brain fog, memory loss, fatigue, and even immune dysfunction. These toxins can silently build up in your body through food, water, air and everyday products.”
The good news? There are kits available to help you measure your toxicity levels and you can find one yourself or we can help you acquire one at Blissful Serenity wellness center through our in house doctor to help you assess where you are at so that you can start a safe detox protocol that has been tested and is vetted by a trained professional. We know that this is not an easy journey because we have been there too and wished we had a guide to hold us by the hand during those dark moments of confusion, when empathy was lacking from the medical staff that couldn’t find or even begin to imagine the root causes of the women’s health problems presented to them. So in honor of all women across the globe, we created some special journeys and packages to specifically tailor solutions in person or internationally online via virtual visits to help women everywhere overcome their feminine health struggles. We are especially excited about the fact that the women who will go through these detox and wellness journeys and completed them, will be equipped with newfound knowledge to help spread awareness and awaken females all around the world to the fact that natural, non-invasive solutions are indeed possible and available. They will be a beacon of light and hope for women everywhere—a shining example of good health.
There are so many toxic products out there that sometimes a Hazmat suit feels like the solution lol but honestly, purging your home of toxic items is a far better idea. You won’t have to wear a mask to use more natural, eco-friendly products.
We know firsthand what it feels like to start to lose hope of living a normal life, wondering if cysts are cancer, if the bleeding will cause anemia, and wondering if the birth control pills that conventional doctors prescribe do more harm than good. We’ll give you a clue…read “Beyond the Pill” by Dr. Jolene Brighten and there you will find all you need to know about the horrible side effects of “The Pill”. For starters, it zaps Coenzyme Q10 also known as Co-Q10 so if you’re on the pill you may want to invest in a high quality supplement to regain a healthy supply of this vital nutrient as it contributes to cellular health. Blissful Serenity happens to be part of an international wellness center in River Oaks Houston, Texas with access to the highest quality supplements on the market! We value integrity not only within our own practice but also constantly monitor for superior quality results with our in house doctor by testing for results.
You would be surprised what a clean diet, a solid detox protocol and simply walking every day can do for you! We love helping our clients turn their life around and go from feeling hopeless & frustrated to joyful, healthy and excited about their bodies!
