A short YouTube clip (Dr. Diane Mueller) linking environmental toxins to emotional changes via hormonal pathways: higher toxin exposure can raise cortisol (a stress hormone) which in excess can cause weight gain and may lower progesterone; lower progesterone is associated with mood changes such as depression, anxiety, food cravings and heightened emotions—often occurring before menstruation.
So when we make cortisol, that actually helps to give some of these anti inflammatory relief to our body. But the problem is too much of the stress hormone and a lot of things can go awry. We have weight gain. And another thing that can happen is we can have a lowering of the hormone, the female sex hormone, progesterone. So, so follow me on this path here. So we can have higher levels of toxins leading to higher levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, leading to lower levels of progesterone. And when we have lower levels of progesterone, that can also lead to things like depression, anxiety, express, especially if emotions are related to the timing of, like, right before you menstruate, you get, say, a lot of food cravings, or you get a little depressed or anxious or emotional. Oftentimes, those are signs.
