4 Hidden Endocrine Disruptors and How to Avoid Them

Keeping our hormones in balance is important for many of the body's functions. Hormones are chemical messengers produced by endocrine glands and affect, among other things, our mental health, energy balance, weight control, immune system, physical health and stress levels.

Unfortunately, we are exposed to many hormone-disrupting substances in our everyday lives without knowing it, including water bottles and frying pans!

We usually hear most about menopausal women suffering from hormonal imbalance, but the fact is that everyone, both young women and men, is also affected by hormonal imbalance, and the consequences can be serious.

What are endocrine disruptors?

Endocrine disruptors, such as BPA, PFAS, and phthalates, are chemicals that mimic the body’s own hormones. They can bind to hormone receptors and block the body’s natural signals. For example, research published in The Endocrine Society shows that BPA can affect estrogen and testosterone, which can lead to reduced fertility and metabolic problems.

Where do we find them?

These substances hide in everyday objects such as:

  • Plastic bottles, plastic packaging, food containers : BPA and BPB leach into drinking water and food.
  • Teflon frying pans : Contains PFAS, which can disrupt the thyroid gland.
  • Plastic cutting boards and kitchen utensils : Microparticles are released and can mimic the body's own molecules.
  • Perfume, hair dye, cosmetics, skin care products : Parabens, phthalates, and other chemicals can disrupt hormones.


What can you do?

Fortunately, there are simple measures:

  1. Replace plastic bottles with glass or steel.
  2. Use wooden or bamboo utensils in the kitchen.
  3. Choose BPA-free products.
  4. Reduce your use of cosmetics and perfumes with many ingredients. Search online for ingredients to avoid and check all your skin care products. Use natural products as much as possible.


What about your hormones?

Hormone balance is not just about avoiding harmful substances, but also about providing the body with the right nutrition. If you get the right nutrients, and sufficient amounts of them, the body can mitigate the damage and excrete some of the hormone-disrupting substances.

BONE BOOST from Aarja Health is a perfect supplement for your hormone support:


✅ Supports hormone production: Vitamin D3 and Calcium contribute to healthy thyroid function and the pancreas (Those that produce insulin and are responsible for metabolism)


✅ Stress hormones : Vitamin D3 helps reduce chronic inflammation, which can affect the adrenal glands' production of cortisol. Vitamin K2 can support the adrenal glands, which produce important hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, and aldosterone.


✅ Prevents imbalances: Vitamin K2 ensures that calcium is distributed properly, reducing the risk of calcium buildup in the blood vessels.

✅ Hormone sensitivity : Vitamin K2 can improve insulin sensitivity, which is crucial for blood sugar regulation and prevention of hormone-related problems like PCOS and metabolic syndrome.
