Have you ever wondered if that lemon fresh cleaner under your sink, laundry detergent, that Febreze, or even the lotion we put on in the morning could be quietly wrecking our hormones? Jared St. Clair, owner of Vitality Nutrition and host of Vitality Radio, shares his insights on the supplement industry. He describes how chemicals disrupt hormones in products and the environment. These chemicals mimic hormones and block cell receptors, leading to reduced hormone levels, like testosterone, for men and women. Jared states that hormone increase without clearing blockages causes issues. He suggests a two-part process: detoxifying the liver, then cleansing the endocrine system with indole-3 carbonyl, DIM, and calcium deglucrate. This method supports the body's hormone function. Key Takeaways Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs): Many daily products (cleaners, detergents, beauty products, scented items, nonstick cookware) and environmental factors contain EDCs that mimic natural hormones and block cell receptors, causing hormonal imbalance. Impact on Hormones: EDCs lead to cellular confusion, reduce natural hormone production (e.g., significant drops in testosterone levels over decades for men), and impair hormone message delivery, affecting muscle building, fat loss, libido, and well-being. Detoxification Strategy: It is essential to detoxify the endocrine system rather than just boost hormones. Two-Phase Detox Process: Liver Detox: Perform a 30-60 day liver detox to help metabolize and eliminate toxins, ensuring healthy bowel movements and hydration. Tylenol is a significant liver stressor; natural alternatives or daily gentle liver support (NAC, dandelion root) are recommended. Endocrine Detox: Follow with 3-4 months of endocrine system cleansing using phytochemicals like indole-3 carbonyl (I3C), DIM, and calcium deglucrate to unlock blocked cell receptors. Incremental Lifestyle Changes: Replace chemical-laden products (scented items, nonstick cookware, plastic) with natural alternatives (vinegar, water, lemon oil, baking soda, borax, ecloths, wood utensils) incrementally to avoid overwhelm. Jared's Recommendations: Jared suggests a personal detox schedule of one-month liver detox twice a year (January/February and July/August), combined with a couple of months of endocrine detox, potentially increasing to three months on, three months off. He also recommends using aluminum-free baking soda for supplementation (Rumford brand). Industry Background: Jared's family business, Vitality Nutrition, started in 1977, highlighting his deep roots and long experience in the health and supplement industry.
