Episode 142: The Surprising Link Between Household Toxins and Weight Gain

Oct 25, 2024
 

 

Did you know that you could be exposed to 168 chemicals before your first cup of coffee in the morning? And did you know these invisible chemicals are wreaking havoc on your hormones and causing weight gain? These chemicals are called endocrine disruptors, and they’re everywhere—BPA in plastics, phthalates in cosmetics, parabens in lotions, and even microplastics in our environment. What’s worse is that these disruptors don't just mess with your hormones and your weight—they affect your stress levels, your sleep, and even increase your risk of chronic diseases.

But here’s the kicker. This isn’t just negatively affecting you. If you have a spouse, kids, or pets, you’re going to want to listen extra closely to this episode.  

In today’s episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we’re going to answer the question… why should you ever want to lessen the toxin load in your home, and what are some easy steps to get started?  


Together, we will unpack:

  • Assess the fear-mongering online. Is it true, or are these people just crazy?
  • Identify specific chemicals and why you should be concerned about each one.
  • Take you on a step-by-step strategy with the easiest swaps you can do first.
  • Give you a one-stop resource that you can grab for yourself today so that you don’t have to take notes and remember everything from this episode - you’ll have your very own cheat sheet to get started.
