Summary

Obesogens are a real thing. They are a class of chemical compounds found all around us that impair the functioning of our fat cells, interfere with metabolism & initiate hormone chaos. Obesogens are truly chemicals that make you fat.

Have you ever heard of endocrine disrupters? Endocrine disrupters are chemicals that interfere with any aspect of hormone action in the body. Obesogens are a specific class of endocrine disrupters that specifically target fat gain, fat loss, appetite and hormone balance related to fat loss.

They cause major problems but we can make a difference. Today's episode talks about two specific obesogens: BPA and PFOAs. We'll talk about what they do, how we're exposed to them and what to do about them.

Don't miss this episode. It's a good one!

Hello everybody, welcome back.

0:27.2

It is me, Elizabeth Benton and I am really excited for today's episode partly because

0:34.2

I'm a science geek.

0:35.2

I'm not going to lie about it.

0:36.4

I am absolutely a science geek.
