Hormone Disruption from Household Products
Today, we’re talking about hormone disrupting chemicals and what I’ve learned about them so far. These types of chemicals are literally all around us. They can be in the air we breathe, the products we use in our homes and on our bodies, and in the food and drinks we consume. So what exactly are hormone disruptors, and what are they doing to our bodies? Hormone disruptors (also called endocrine disruptors or EDs in scientific literature), are chemicals that act on your hormonal system.

I don’t know about ya’ll but I am in need for a little “R and R” and this weather is helping me do so.

Healthy Human to the Rescue
This post is in partner with Healthy Human. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. One of the things that I can count on from my children is hearing, “I am thirsty.” The most frequent times I hear this is when we are in the car, out for a walk or before bedtime. Y’all, it never fails for any one of them to ask for water during those times. As the years have gone by, I’ve just come to an understanding with myself, not to get frustrated but to have a solution. Enter Healthy Human. This brand makes stainless steel cups that…
