🏡 Is your kitchen fertility-friendly?
You might be surprised to learn that common kitchen items could be releasing harmful chemicals into your food—and your body. These chemicals, like PFOAs, BPA, and phthalates, can disrupt your hormones and impact fertility.

👩‍🍳 Here are 5 simple swaps to detox your kitchen:

1️⃣ Non-Stick Pans ➡️ Cast Iron or Stainless Steel
Teflon pans release PFOAs, which have been linked to hormone disruption and infertility. Cast iron and stainless steel are durable, safe, and chemical-free!

2️⃣ Plastic Tupperware ➡️ Glass Containers
Plastic containers can leach harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates into your food, especially when microwaved. Glass is a safer, non-toxic alternative.

3️⃣ Plastic Spatulas ➡️ Silicone or Wood Utensils
Black plastic utensils often contain toxic chemicals like bromine and lead, which can leach into food at high heat. Silicone or wood is a safer bet.

4️⃣ Aluminum Foil ➡️ Unbleached Parchment Paper
Cooking with aluminum foil can increase aluminum exposure, which may harm hormonal and brain health. Parchment paper is a safer alternative!

5️⃣ Scented Dish Soap ➡️ Fragrance-Free Soap
Synthetic fragrances in dish soap can contain phthalates, which interfere with hormone function. Look for fragrance-free or essential oil-based options instead.

🤎 Remember: most couples conceive within 3–6 months. If it’s taking longer, it’s time to get personalized support to uncover what’s holding you back.
