Often, in addition to stress and diet, there is a silent factor at play: endocrine disruptors. There is growing scientific evidence of their impact, not only on metabolic and hormonal health, but also on the gut microbiota, the disruption of which can exacerbate hormonal imbalance. 1. What are endocrine disruptors? Endocrine disruptors are chemicals with a structure similar to our hormones, capable of interfering with the hormonal system. They can: Mimic hormones (such as oestrogens) Block hormone receptors Alter hormone production or elimination Modify the sensitivity of tissues to hormonal signals The endocrine system regulates key processes such as metabolism, fertility, the menstrual cycle, thyroid function, mood and the stress response. Therefore, disruption to this system can contribute to the development of metabolic, reproductive, immunological and neurological diseases. This is supported by the World Health Organisation (WHO). 2. Where are they found? Bisphenol A (BPA) and microplastics are present in plastic packaging that is particularly exposed to heat, reused or scratched (plastic food containers, plastic bottles and pre-packaged ready meals). Tinned food cans also contain BPA in their inner lining, but nowadays tinned food is much more strictly regulated and many companies have removed it from their cans. Parabens, phthalates, benzophenones, synthetic fragrances and triclosan are found in cosmetics (creams, shampoos, make-up, etc.), personal care products and household cleaning products.\u00a0 Pesticides and herbicides found in conventional farming, particularly in soft fruits, grapes and apples. Perfluorinated compounds (PFOS, PFOA) found in scratched or damaged non-stick frying pans. Mycotoxins: Consuming food contaminated with mould or having damp patches in the home with mould that release mycotoxins into the air. Occasional contact has no effect on our bodies, but constant, cumulative exposure does. 3. What impact does this have on our microbiota? Recent evidence shows that these compounds act as modulators of the gut ecosystem. It has been observed that continued exposure reduces the bacterial diversity of our microbiota and can affect the intestinal barrier by increasing local inflammation (leading to a higher risk of intolerances, infections, and digestive and hormonal disorders). The gut is also an endocrine and detoxifying organ; when its balance is disrupted, so too is hormonal regulation. 4. What can we do? Realising that exposure to these substances can affect us in the long term does not mean becoming obsessed, but rather learning to reduce our exposure gradually and realistically. Start with some of these small changes: Avoid heating food in plastic: use glass containers. Reduce the use of cling film in contact with hot food.  Prioritise fresh food and cook more at home: cut down on ultra-processed packaged foods and ready meals. Wash fruit and vegetables thoroughly: use water and scrub them, and peel non-organic fruit and vegetables whenever possible.  Use cosmetics labelled as vegan or microplastic-free, and avoid those containing parabens or perfumes in their ingredients. Use stainless steel bottles (filled with tap water or filtered water if the tap water is very hard). Air the house for 5\u201310 minutes in the morning and evening, and keep mould under control. Do not eat mouldy fruit or food that has gone off. Use natural cleaning products (vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, etc.) or eco-friendly brands such as Natulim, Frosh or Ecover.\u00a0 Below is a brand I work with that produces high-quality, microplastic-free and chemical-free cleaning and home care products.
