The PFAS Threat: How Forever Chemicals Silently Impact Your Health in Perimenopause & Menopause

Imagine a world where the very products meant to make our lives easier are silently poisoning us and our loved ones. This isn't science fiction-it's the alarming reality of forever chemicals, or PFAS. These insidious substances lurk in our homes, our food, and even our bodies persisting for decades and potentially causing devastating health effects. From lowered immune systems to increased cancer risks, the impact of these chemicals is far-reaching and deeply concerning. As we uncover the shocking truth about PFAS, we're faced with an urgent question: how can we protect ourselves and future generations from this invisible threat?
Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, Menopause Researcher, and Menopause Educator and co-founder of Morphus, and Leah Segedie, founder of Mamavation discuss this vital topic.
