We know that BPA exposure has shown that if you have a higher level of BPA exposure, you have lower ovarian reserve, meaning less eggs in your ovary will go into menopause earlier.

BPA is one of those environmental chemicals that we're exposed to largely through plastics, but it's also one that's in the thermal receipt paper that we're trying to avoid our exposure to.

And that's where some of the data, even when it comes back to food, where soy, in taking soy products, can actually be very protective because it combats BPA.

So how it works.

So when people say, oh, you shouldn't have tofu, you're a man, soy is so bad for you, that's actually false.

And we found that...

People who had a greater exposure to soy products actually had the lowest level of BPA and improved reproductive performance because of that.

So there's definitely correlation with these toxins in our world.

And we might say, oh, is it linked to menopause?

Maybe nobody's done that exact study, but it absolutely is.

If you have lower eggs at an earlier time period, it's going to give you an earlier menopause.

Well, it's all of our favorites.

Yeah.

And we're doing it live.

This should be the very first thing you do.

Sleep sets the stage for your entire day.

It's really that foundation of your health.

If you are going to start the day in a sleep deficit, you're starting out.

stressed, inflamed, insulin resistant.

There's going to be no behaviors you can do during the day that are going to overcome the deficit.
