In a paper released by the United States Government in May 2010, The White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity published the article: “Solving the Problem of Childhood Obesity Within a Generation.”

The scientists have coined a term obesogens as foreign chemicals that they believe promote weight gain.

At our office we have long used the term Endocrine Disruptor for any natural or synthetic chemical that mimics, mutates or stimulates estrogen or estrogen receptors.  We know endocrine disruptors are as numerous as the 11,000 chemicals listed on various websites; herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, birth control pills, therapeutic and recreational drugs, soy, DES, heavy metals, environmental toxins-including the hormones in your meat or in the ground water.

These chemicals have very detrimental effects on the human endocrine system, creating non-desirous effects from adrenal and thyroid dysfunction to weight gain in some and behavioral problems in others (addictions, ADD, OCD).

What we have found in our office is: As we change the foods we eat, beverages we drink, use natural supplements to detoxify and rebuild our systems, get better sleep, exercise correctly and more often and choose more self honoring  thoughts, our physical body’s are very resilient in our ability to heal!

Our Health Is Our Choice!!
