One of the best things you can do for your brain, fertility, hormonal health, skin health, hair health and even the environment is avoiding xenoestrogens for the rest of your life.
Here’s exactly what you need to know about them.

It's George.
First things first. If i came to you and injected you with a hormone, you would probably punch me.
Great.
I shouldn't be able to negatively affect your hormonal profile without you being aware of this fact and giving me your consent.
But the same standard is not applied to the topic of xenoestrogens and in order to understand how bad things have gotten, it's very likely that you consume a credit card's worth of microplastics every week and have microplastics in your brain, bone marrow, lungs and in the case you are a man in your testicles as well.

*The list is of course truly endless and there's evidence that they can even exist in the placenta.
If you think that there's no way this is real, pause and think for a moment the average person's daily routine.
Most people wake up and eat some mycotoxin filled cereal sprayed with glyphosate as well, put hot coffee in a plastic cup, and proceed to put on their skin, skincare and hygiene products filled with ethanolamine compounds (cocamide DEA, MEA, TEA and others), parabens, formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, sodium laureth sulfate and other –eth compounds (possible 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide contamination), benzophenone etc

Now xenoestrogens are estrogen-mimicking compounds that are not produced by your body and are structurally or functionally related to human sex hormone 17β-estradiol and bind the estrogen receptors.
There are estrogen receptors in:
-The thyroid
-The skin
-The lung
-The prostate
-The liver
-The brain
-The uterus
-The breast
-Immune cells such as T-cells and B-cells
-The ovaries
-The pituitary gland
-The bladder
-The lymph nodes
-Skeletal muscles
-Fat cells such as adipocytes

So xenoestrogen exposure, WILL affect all of these and:
-Mess up the brain and thyroid.
-Negatively affect fertility.
-Cause cancers.
-Contribute or even cause gut dysbiosis.
-Cause issues with neurodevelopment.
-Contribute to even weight gain.
-Cause skin issues.
-Negatively affect allergies/MCAS.
-Negatively affect hair health.
-Mess up the brain and thyroid.

But since this list might seem too much, here are some practical steeps you can take in order to avoid the things that were just mentioned.
-Use natural essential oils instead of synthetic fragrances
-Filter your drinking and showering water.
-Try to wear natural fabrics and not synthetic ones.
-Throw away your non stick pans and plastic cutting boards.
-Use some natural alternatives to the most commonly used toxic skincare and hygiene products such as:
Moisturizers: Aloe vera, grass fed tallow, honey balm, raw goat’s butter
Topical acne treatments: Aspirin, zinc, sulfur soap followed by a moisturizer (do not over do this, 2 days a week are enough), red light (do not over do it if the device has lots of infrared light), early sunlight.
Eczema/psoriasis: Activated charcoal paste (1-2 times per week), grass fed beef tallow and raw honey mix, honey balm.
Deodorants: A mix of raw coconut oil and a few drops of lemon juice (you do not need much, at all), sea water spray, mineral water spray, magnesium roll ons.
Air fresheners and fragrances: Essential oils.
Toothpaste: 10 tablespoons of coconut oil, 50 drops of liquid magnesium, 10 drops of trace minerals, some xylitol and calcium powder (not too much, 1 teaspoon tops).
Facial cleanser: Coconut oil, cold water, raw milk, and very occasionally milk soap, black sea soap, sulfur soap and iodine.
Toners: Coconut water, magnesium water, chamomile tea.
Masks: Activated charcoal, clay, black sea soap mask.
Mouthwash: Coconut oil, aloe vera, mix of 10 tablespoons of coconut oil 50 drops of liquid magnesium and 10 drops of trace minerals (do not use all of it at once obviously).
Hair wash: Egg yolks, occasionally iodine, caffeine, cold water, raw goat’s milk.
After shave: Ice cubes roll outs, aloe vera, cold pressed avocado oil.
Hand cleaner: ACV, baking soda, olive oil soap.
Soap: Milk soap, olive oil soap, chamomile soap,
African black soap, black sea soap and aleppo soap.
Hair styling: Sea salt spray, natural oils (jojoba oil, rosemary oil, coconut oil), clay and wax.
Sunburn: Topical caffeine, egg whites, raw animal fats, cold aloe vera gel, cold raw cream, rub an organic tomato on the area, cold raw goat’s milk. Exfoliation: Sea salt.

Another thing to be aware of is the overconsumption (key part: "over") of phytoestrogens.
*Key word: overconsumption. Some of these can be beneficial when consumed in moderation.
The 4 phenolic compounds classified as phytoestrogens are:
-Isoflavones
Which can be found in soybeans, chickpeas, fava beans, pistachios, peanuts, and other nuts.
-Stilbene
Which can be found in the skin of grapes, peanuts, and red wine.
-Coumestan
Which can be found in pinto beans, lima beans and split peas.
And last but not least:
-Lignan
Which can be found in flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, grains such as rye, oats and barley, bran, beans, tea, coffee and wine.
Now of course, not all phytoestrogens affect us the same way.

So let's see which ones we must avoid.
Number 1: Soy and its byproducts.
First of all, the soy that we have nowadays has nothing to do with the soy that was used during the late Chou dynasty (1134-246 BC) in order to make foods like tempeh, natto and tamari.
Today we have genetically modified soybeans that are designed to be what is called "glyphosate ready" which is a carcinogenic herbicide.
That's problem number 1.
The problem number 2 is that it's not fermented in order to neutralize toxins.
So, we are consuming a cheap hybrid of soy that's not even prepared properly.
Then soybeans have a higher concentration of phytic acid than any other grain or legume which binds to minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc and limits their absorption.
So soy can also cause deficiencies in calcium, magnesium zinc and even vitamin D.
Things that most people today are deficient in to begin with.
Soy contains trypsin inhibitors that inhibit protein digestion, growth and affect pancreatic function. Last but not least in a 2008 case study, a man showed signs of gynecomastia after drinking soy milk every day.
Number 2: Beer
Beer originally is supposed to be made out of medicinal spices and herbs.
But in the 16th century, the beer purity law, was passed and mandated that all beed was supposed to be made out of barley, hops (the most potent phytoestrogen (8-prenylnaringenin) is found in hops) and water. 8-prenylnaringenin is almost 15 times more estrogenic than any phytoestrogen that's found in soy and increases estrogen for several days.

We of course, can not forget about mycotoxins.
These are of course not a myth and proven to cause a lot of health issues.
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC67…
You should first and foremost, identify the most common sources of mycotoxins in order to avoid them which are:
-Pork (pigs are often fed grains contaminated with ochratoxin A)
-Nuts such as peanuts
-Coffee
-Grains
-Pollen
-Dried fruit
-Water-damaged building materials

Let's move on to herbicides and pesticides.
In order to understand how bad this is getting, glyphosate was found in the semen of 60% of infertile men.
Glyphosate presents many problems for our health in general.
It induces oxidative stress, alters the SOD, CAT and GPx enzymes, negatively affect glutamate by activating NDMA receptors, inhibit GABA, interfere with the metabolism of retinoic acid and inhibit GGT plus G6PD.
Glyphosate also disrupts the shikimic acid pathway (a pathway responsible for the production of vitamins and aromatic amino acids such as phenylalanine) negatively affects eNOS, the pancreas and the adrenals.
It can negatively affect the gut since it has been shown to negatively affect bifidobacterium and lactobacillus.
Not only that, but it's not proven to negatively affect fertility.
So what you can do?
-Avoid the round up ready crops such as soy
-Eat organic
-Support glucuronidation
-Magnesium
-Things that contain acetobacters such as ACV or sauerkraut
-Ginkgo
-Colostrum
-Fulvic acid
-Humic acid
-Glycine
-Garlic
-Make sure to get enough B vitamins
-Zinc-rich foods/zinc carnosine
