KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• We are constantly exposed to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, not only in our food, but also in our environment, food, and personal care products.
• Estrogen is a grossly underappreciated hormone because we don’t realize what happens when it’s not properly balanced.
• It takes our bodies four to five hours between meals to detoxify, push things forward, and address pathogens. We knock out the benefits of this process when we eat too frequently.
• We need to prioritize high-quality sleep because it affects so many aspects of our lives and health.
