Avoid Toxic Chemicals found in plastics, cleaning products, cosmetics and pesticides as they can interfere with healthy hormone function by mimicking your body’s own hormones. These ‘xeno’ (foreign/man made) oestrogen’s are scary hormone disruptors. Avoid cooking/re-heating/wrapping food in plastic and plastic containers – use glass or bees wax covers instead.

Amy Schumer defusing the ancient art of female emotional combat. I couldn’t resist posting it- It’s a bit hilarious! Click link to view: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10153308132779030&id=6096369029&refsrc=https%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2FComedyCentral%2Fvideos%2F10153308132779030%2F
