Endocrine disruptors are all around us — in everyday products, food packaging, and even the environment — but what exactly do they do, and how do they impact our health? In this episode of Health Matters, we sit down with an obstetrician gynecologist to demystify the endocrine system, explore how certain chemicals can interfere with our hormones, and learn simple, realistic ways to reduce exposure. From choosing safer products to making informed decisions at the store, listeners will come away with practical tools to support their hormonal health.
