That's the issue, is that they didn't. Sie hatten keine Antworten. Sie konnten mir nicht sagen, was die Probleme waren. Sie sagten, oh, du siehst normal aus in den Tests. Aber wenn du dich nicht selbst verheiratet hast, dann ist die andere Option IVF oder Adoption.

Ich musste fast alles erlernen, weil ich als Wissenschaftlerin, als Toxikologin trainiert wurde, an Tag 1, den Weg zu folgen und die Glaubwürdigkeit, dass die Dose einen Pest macht, dass je mehr man zu einem Chemikal ausgeschlossen wird, desto schwerer ist das Ergebnis. Und das ist nicht immer wahr.

Denn wie wir jetzt wissen, gibt es Chemikalien im Umfeld, die Endokrin-Entzünder genannt werden, die auf sehr niedrigen Niveaus höhere Aktivitäten haben als die, die sie auf hohen Niveaus haben. Also ist es komplett nach hinten. So I had to relearn everything that I had learned as a student in order to recover. And in fact, I was so resistant and so hesitant to go outside of what I knew.

That actually kept me stuck for much longer than I needed to be.

Exactly.

Exactly.

They're called non-monotonic dose responses. That's the technical term for it. But it's basically because the hormones in our bodies are present and active at such extraordinarily tiny amounts that any amount of excess or chemicals coming from the environment could trigger those same pathways, could be devastating on a cellular level.

Fast alles. And it might shock you to think that it's almost everything, but unfortunately it is. It's because our world now is overcome with plastics. Single-use plastics, plastic containers, food containers. Almost everything that we know of has some plastic element to it. And that's really at the root of a lot of the problems that we have.

Because the chemicals that are used to create the plastics are leaching. The plastics themselves are breaking up, leading to microplastic and nanoplastic release that we are just being constantly bombarded with on a daily basis.

Also, für den meisten Teil, wenn man ein Produkt aus einem Shop-Stuhl holt, gibt es neun mal aus zehn Chemikalien, in denen es sich um Gefühle handelt. And we're talking about major retailers, big box stores. If you go to smaller, let's say, health food stores and chains like that, then the percentage is much lower. So you have a better chance of getting a safer product at a health food store.

Yes, so I am a PhD toxicologist. I started studying reproductive toxicity in the laboratory as an undergrad. And we were looking at the effect of environmental chemicals that are pretty much everywhere in the environment. They're the products of combustion. So the combustion of gasoline in cars, in cigarettes, in cooking.
