In this episode, we explore the hidden world of hormone-disrupting chemicals (also called endocrine disruptors or xenoestrogens) and their impact on perimenopause. From skincare and cleaning products to plastics and tap water, these chemicals can mimic oestrogen, throw your hormones off balance, and contribute to symptoms like PMS, heavy periods, breast tenderness, and bloating. You’ll learn what endocrine disruptors are, where they’re found, how they affect your body, and, most importantly, practical steps you can take to reduce your exposure without feeling overwhelmed. Small, sustainable swaps can make a big difference for your hormones, your symptoms, and your long-term health.
