Endocrine Disruption Awareness

Meaning

Endocrine disruption awareness is the clinical and public health recognition of the potential for exogenous chemicals, known as Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), to interfere with the synthesis, secretion, transport, binding, action, or elimination of endogenous hormones. This awareness involves understanding that exposure to substances like bisphenols and phthalates can subtly yet profoundly alter the body’s hormonal milieu, impacting reproductive health, metabolism, and neurological development. It is a critical aspect of preventative hormonal health and longevity practice.
