Maybe you've heard of xenoestrogens but don't really know what they are or how they work in your body.  I'm going to explain what they are and why you need to minimize them in your life and perhaps even more so in your children's lives.

<strong>Xenoestrogen</strong> means <strong>foreign estrogen</strong> - they are actually compounds we encounter in our daily lives which act like estrogens in our body.  You may have heard the terms <strong>endocrine disrupters</strong> or <strong>hormone disruptors</strong>.

It sounds weird but here's how it works:

It's a bit like a game of musical chairs - chemical compounds and pesticides enter your body &amp; jump onto the receptors that are supposed to be there for the estrogen <em>your body</em> is producing.  When your own estrogen comes along it finds that these xenoestrogens have stolen their spot!  So your own estrogen has nowhere to go!  Every time xenoestrogens win the game - your body &amp; hormone health lose.

Your body doesn't even have to be producing too much estrogen to show symptoms of estrogen dominance!    Because our estrogen is now free to roam throughout your body with nowhere to go.
