A major review links everyday toxins to rising rates of PCOS and infertility.

The review just published in Nature Reviews Endocrinology confirms what many of us suspected: common chemicals in our environment can disrupt hormonal health, increase risk of PCOS, and even accelerate early menopause.

These hidden toxins, known as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), are found in plastics, packaged foods, household items, personal care products, and even pesticides. Studies show EDCs can damage ovarian function, reduce egg quality, and increase the risk of irregular cycles, infertility, and metabolic issues. Scientists emphasize the urgent need for public policies that limit women’s exposure especially during key reproductive years.

So, what does this mean for us?
It means symptoms like irregular cycles, unexplained weight gain, fatigue, acne, or fertility struggles may not just be hormonal—they could also relate to the environment.

Here’s how to protect yourself:

• Replace plastic containers with glass or stainless steel

• Choose hormone‑free personal care and cleaning products

• Eat more whole, unprocessed foods

• Avoid storing hot or oily foods in plastic
