Obesogens or Endocrine Disruptors

Obesogens, or endocrine disruptors are natural and man-made chemicals that work by altering the regulatory system that controls your weight—increasing the fat cells you have, decreasing the calories you burn, and even altering the way your body manages hunger.

How they work?
By mimicking the actions of naturally occurring hormones in our bodies or preventing the hormones we produce from acting correctly.

Endocrine disruptors can:
  • Encourage the body to store fat and re-program cells to become fat cells.
  • Prompt the liver to become insulin resistant, which makes the pancreas pump out more insulin that turns energy into fat all over the body.
  • Prevent leptin (a hormone that reduces appetite) from being released from your fat cells to tell your body you are full.
Where you find them?
  • High Fructose corn syrup
  • Cleaning products
  • Plastics
  • Processed foods
  • Non stick pans
  • Air fresheners
