Did you know your morning coffee cup or shower steam could be sabotaging your hormone balance? In this revealing episode, Stanford-trained longevity physician Dr. Hillary Lin exposes how everyday chemicals—plasticizers, fragrances, flame retardants and more—are hijacking your endocrine system, and lays out a simple, science-backed plan to protect yourself.
In this deep-dive, you’ll discover:
• Why you face more novel chemicals before breakfast than your great-grandparents did in a year
• How minuscule doses (parts per trillion!) can trigger prostate growth, early puberty, thyroid disruption and metabolic disease
• The top myths—phytoestrogens, “the dose makes the poison,” and “regulated equals safe”—that keep you chasing the wrong risks
• Real-world case studies showing timing often trumps dose (DES, prenatal phthalates, flame retardants)
• The “chemical whack-a-mole” of BPA replacements like BPS/BPF—and what it means for your products
• Quick, high-impact swaps for your shower, kitchen, daily routine—and a tiered 10-min to 10-week protocol to cut exposures
• How to support your body’s own detox pathways so you’re not just cutting risks—but building resilience
Key Takeaways:
✓ EDCs have driven a 50 % drop in sperm counts and a 15× increase in early puberty (some girls at age 6)
✓ Our regulations still test only high doses in adult animals—fetal, low-dose and mixture effects slip through
✓ Plastics, fragrances, heat & humidity are your “Big 3” chemical hot spots each morning
✓ Non-monotonic dose-responses mean tiny exposures can hit harder than large ones
✓ The three pillars of protection: Strategic Avoidance, Informed Substitution & Systemic Support
