Think of your endocrine system as a computer. The hardware is a network of glands. The software: hormones. If the system is working properly, the network can communicate, regulating growth and development at every stage of life and fertility when the time is right.
Some health experts link emerging patterns of endocrine-related illnesses to synthetic chemical exposure. These endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) act as rogue software—alien code that quietly slips into our hormonal receptors and interferes with network signals.
