It’s surprising that the wellness industry hasn’t paid more attention to endocrine disruptors—a “silent killer” of wellbeing for both humans and the planet. Endocrine disruptors, more specifically Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), most originating in the agrochemical industry (such as pesticides, plastics, etc.), are linked to numerous adverse health outcomes such as alterations in sperm quality and fertility, early puberty, altered nervous system and immune function, certain cancers, and respiratory problems—both in humans and wildlife. There is strong, recent evidence that exposure to toxic EDCs should be reduced through regulatory action.
