Environmental toxins are known to cause infertility and many other health issues.
While treating patients who struggle with getting pregnant or experience miscarriages, we help patients reviewing their lifestyle, diet and personal care products to reduce potential risks including environmental toxins. It is important for both male and female.
One thing that many people neglected is personal care products that might contain a lot chemicals such as artificial fragrances, phthalates, leads, bha, bhe, parabens and many others, these chemicals can also increase risk of getting cancers and cause other health issues. Skin is the largest organ and can actually absorb toxins if we are not careful enough.
