When you eat spoiled food, you usually experience the consequences within hours. If you overeat processed carbs for weeks in a row, you’ll likely gain a few poun...
To understand the different ways that xenoestrogens make you sick, there are a few key facts you need to know. 1.

At the Kummer household, our goal isn’t to completely eliminate our exposure to xenoestrogens. As you’re probably aware by this point in the article, that would be a futile strategy given their prevalence. Scientists have even found estrogenics in polar bears. If theycan’t avoid exposure, then neither can we. Instead, our goal is to significantly r...
My wife and I were shocked and disheartened when we learned about the negative health impacts of xenoestrogens. We both thought that shifting our dietary habits to something that would mimic how our ancestors had been eating for millions of years (paleo/keto/carnivore) would be our last big lifestyle change.
