Hormones Becoming Toxins
Understanding how hormones can turn into toxins that stay in your body sheds light on the intricate balance necessary for optimal health. Hormones, crucial for bodily functions, can act disruptively due to various factors like an imbalanced microbiome, stress, and exposure to environmental xenoestrogens. This can lead to disturbances in hormone regulation, impacting your overall well-being.
Eliminatory Organs for Hormone Balance
The proper functioning of organs like the liver, gut, and kidneys plays a crucial role in the detoxification and elimination of hormones, highlighting their essential role in supporting overall health. This highlights the importance of optimizing these organs for effective detoxification. By focusing on enhancing liver function, promoting regular bowel movements, and supporting other eliminatory pathways, you can aid your body in efficiently processing and eliminating toxins.
Lifestyle Factors and Epigenetics
