One of the consequences of high-tech, modern life is that for the first time in history, we are constantly battling the effects of exposure to estrogenic compounds. While this is an emerging field of scientific study, you may want to be on the safe side, as we are dealing with an assortment of environmental estrogens from a variety of different sources, and make moves to avoid and eliminate the following offenders: Eliminate all plastics touching your food or drink and avoid high estrogenic foods like soy, corn, flax. Use all-natural skin and personal care products, and eco-friendly home cleaners and laundry detergents.Monitor and limit sources of EMF, by doing things like turning Wifi off at night, using an ethernet cable instead, and staying far away from your cell phone. Otterbox phone cases are also helpful, as are grounding mats or sheets or shields.Combat indoor blue light by using things like bug bulbs, Tungsten soft lights, and anything on the yellow/red spectrum (like a salt lamp or candles).If you want to neutralize outgassing from toxic consumer products and stale indoor air, get a houseplant or two! Also, the HEPA filter/deionizer captures 99.9% of particles (outdoor fires, pet, dust, allergens, etc.). Avoiding Estrogens:Plastics: Implement zero tolerance for any plastic touching your food or drink. Nothing is worse than microwaving foods in plastic containers or drinking from disposable plastic water bottles that get heated in the sun. The result? Man cans and cancer. Use stainless steel or glass containers instead.Personal Care products: Be vigilant against chemicals that touch your body like skin care products, cosmetics, perfumes and colognes, and laundry detergent. Use eco-friendly products made without chemicals, such as Dr. Bronner’s castile soap. Almost all sunscreens are pretty offensive, with common ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate that are harmful for both your health and the environment. Look for something simple with zinc oxide and try to prioritize using clothing and hats. Remember to expose large skin surfaces, but that it’s ok to protect yourself.Household cleaning products: Antibacterial products are nasty, because they compromise immune function and can make you resistant to antibiotics when you need them for infections or surgeries. Mrs. Meyers Clean Day is a good natural brand with a diverse product line.Food: You shouldn’t be eating soy, corn, or flax anyway, but note that these foods have 100x more phytoestrogens than other plants. For more information, read Anthony Jay’s book Estrogeneration: How Estrogenics Are Making You Fat, Sick, and Infertile, and be sure to check out this great article from BioDynamic Wellness called Top 10 Estrogenics and Ways to Minimize Exposure. TIMESTAMPS:Number 8 of your MOFO mission is called to protect yourself.
