You know, there's a lot of things where you can do that will say that person touched receipts all day and they still got pregnant or their sperm was great or they lived a long time.

We can list a whole lot of negative behaviors or habits or exposures that one person might tolerate just fine.

And for somebody else, the sum of all of these behaviors add up to be something that puts them in a place

That is very pro-inflammatory, not healthy for the now or for the future.

That, to me, is an easy – on the scale of decisions that are hard or that are easy, trying to change the things that you're exposed to in your world, you have to spend some time to learn about it.

You might have to buy some new things.

But over time, those decisions are ultimately easier than –

how you eat, your exercise, those take longer commitment.

And especially if you're partnered, if you live with somebody, then the foods that you eat, your sleeping habits depend on them.

You both have to be together on this.

So sometimes I always say toxins are to one place, a thing you can do.

You can look at your products.

You can start to, when they run out, say, is this one healthy for me?

Should I get something that's going to have less of an impact?

That one time of using very scented hand wash is no big deal.

But when you wash your hands with that highly scented hand wash five times a day over and over, it is just an avenue of endocrine disruption that can add up to the litany of the other ones that you're experiencing.

So we're all saying these little changes on one hand singularly probably do not matter much, but together they do.

Because it does cause chronic inflammation.

Yeah.

And the ovaries are highly sensitive to chronic inflammation.
