obesogens

By now, we all know the myriad of health issues introduced by toxins. But one of the most motivating issue, according to the health workers I know? It’s not cancer, autoimmune disorders, or PCOS. It’s weight. So many health experts have adopted the term “obesogens” as another way to say “endocrine disrupting chemicals,” A.K.A EDCs. 

As a society, we’re generally more concerned with body image than actual health. But, in my opinion, anything that can motivate you to move towards a toxin free lifestyle is a good thing. Because even if the initial motivating factor was body image, you’ll soon get hooked on this lifestyle for the way you feel afterwards. 

So today, I’m giving you the top five obesogens found in your house & how to make a safe, cost-effective swap. 

All of the EDCs we’re touching on today have full deep dive episodes you can dig into linked below!
