Everywhere within our environment, there are molecules that mimic estrogen.

And the problem with that is that estrogen-like molecules engage with our body very similarly to how our endogenous estrogens do.

This can throw our entire balance of not only estrogen out of whack,

but other hormones that are related to estrogen as well. Women may experience bloating and

swelling and tenderness, irregular menstrual periods, and both men and women may experience changes in sex drive as well as infertility.

Changes in our estrogen levels also impact our mood and emotions.

People can experience mood swings, anxiety, panic attacks, brain fog, memory problems,

and the presence of excessive estrogen also leads to problems with metabolism and homeostasis.

People may experience weight gain or hair loss, which may be a sign of problems with the thyroid

system, difficulty regulating temperatures, especially within our hands and feet. We also may have

changes in the hormonal governance of our sleep patterns via cortisol and melatonin, leading to

insomnia at night and fatigue during the day.

Today's episode is all about what are the estrogen-like molecules in our environment

and how can we minimize our exposure to them and wade through often confusing research that seems to cast doubt

about whether or not estrogen-like molecules are harmful for human health. Let's get to the show. Welcome to the Lindsay

Elmore Show, a podcast that helps you find fulfillment amidst chaos. On this show, I interview

thought leaders, doctors, creatives, spiritual gurus, and game changers who inspire you to pursue

your dreams, overcome obstacles, and leave your mark.

Dr. Anthony Jay is the author of the best-selling book, Estro Generation.

He wrote the book to help people understand clearly and simply what estrogenic

substances are. What are the most prevalent ones within our daily lives? And how can we take

action to avoid the deleterious effects of exposure to synthetic estrogens throughout our entire live?
