How Do Environmental Toxins Affect Menopausal Symptoms?
Environmental toxins can potentially exacerbate menopausal symptoms. Exposure to endocrine disruptors, such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, can interfere with hormone regulation, potentially intensifying symptoms. These chemicals can mimic or block the body's hormones, leading to an imbalance that can worsen hot flashes and mood disturbances.
