FFP 634 | Are Everyday Chemicals Disrupting Your Menstrual Cycle?
About this episode
Lisa discusses the impact of everyday chemicals on menstrual cycles and fertility.
In this episode, Lisa breaks down findings from a recent review paper on how endocrine disrupting chemicals like BPA, phthalates, PFAS, and PCBs may be linked to menstrual cycle changes, hormone levels, and fertility outcomes. She explores why female fertility remains understudied compared to male fertility, what the research shows about chemical exposure and subfertility, and why swapping to "BPA-free" products isn't the fix it's marketed to be. Lisa offers a practical, non-alarmist approach to reducing chemical exposure over time — useful both for individuals trying to conceive and for practitioners supporting fertility clients.
