A Women’s Guide to Hormone Balance & Everyday Detox by Steven Horne, RH (AHG)
What Are Xenoestrogens?
Xenoestrogens are man‑made chemicals that mimic estrogen in the body. They sneak into our lives through:
-
🥤 Plastics (like microwaving food in plastic containers)
-
🐔 Meat, eggs, and dairy (often from animals fed estrogen compounds)
-
🚿 Personal care products (yes—even shampoo!)
-
🌱 Pesticides and herbicides in food and water
Over time, these “fake estrogens” can disrupt your natural hormone balance and contribute to issues like:
-
Heavy periods, cramps, or irregular cycles
-
Fibroids, ovarian cysts, or breast tenderness
-
Menopausal symptoms
-
Increased risk of breast and cervical cancer
💪 How to Protect Yourself
The good news: you can take simple steps to reduce exposure and support your body’s natural detox systems.
1. Support Your Liver Your liver is the main organ that breaks down excess hormones and toxins. Help it thrive by:
-
Eating a nutrient‑rich diet
-
Using herbal blends designed for detox support (like Cellular Detox or Enviro‑Detox)
2. Add More Fiber Fiber acts like a broom in your intestines, sweeping out toxins—including xenoestrogens. A daily fiber supplement (such as Everybody’s Fiber) can help keep things moving.
3. Eat Cruciferous Veggies Broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower contain indole‑3‑carbinol, a compound that helps your liver break down excess estrogen. You can also find Indole‑3‑carbinol as a supplement if you want extra support.
🌸 Everyday Empowerment
Protecting yourself from xenoestrogens isn’t about fear—it’s about small, consistent choices that keep your hormones balanced and your body resilient. Think of it as self‑care at the cellular level: nourishing your liver, eating clean, and choosing products that love your body back.
