The Link Between Endocrine Disrupters in Plastic and Hormone Health with Maritza Worthington, Functional Hormone Practitioner

The Live Lightly Podcast

In this episode, I discuss the impact of common chemicals in everyday plastics on hormone health, fertility, and pregnancy with Functional Hormone Practitioner, Maritza Worthington. She explains the toxins in plastics that are considered hormone disruptors, such as phthalates, BPA, and heavy metals. Our conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the leaching of these chemicals into food and water packaged in plastics in addition to their presence in makeup and personal care products. We explore how plastic consumption can lead to estrogen dominance, fertility issues, PCOS, and hormonal imbalances. Our discussion also touches on the effects of plastics on nutrient and mineral absorption, and what that means for energy levels and overall health and wellbeing, and some practical tips for where to start eliminating personal plastic use. Maritza shares strategies for starting a plastic detox journey and achieving healthier hormones.
