Xenoestrogens Test
Xenoestrogens are chemical compounds found in plastics, personal care products, pesticides, and even food. They mimic estrogen in the body and disrupt hormonal balance, potentially leading to health problems like weight gain, mood swings, and reduced fertility.
Our Xenoestrogens Testing at Swissmed Health measures your exposure to these harmful chemicals, allowing us to create a personalized plan to detoxify your system and restore hormonal harmony. This test is ideal for individuals experiencing unexplained symptoms of hormonal imbalance or those concerned about their exposure to environmental toxins.
Benefits of Xenoestrogens Testing:
Detects Hormonal Disruptors: Identifies harmful synthetic estrogens in your system.
Supports Hormonal Balance: Helps address symptoms like fatigue, irregular cycles, and mood changes.
Reduces Health Risks: Minimizes long-term risks of hormonal cancers and metabolic disorders.
Customized Detox Plans: Guides tailored interventions to eliminate toxins.
Improves Fertility: Supports reproductive health for both men and women.
Medical Article Summary
Xenoestrogens are a class of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that interfere with normal hormonal function. These compounds bind to estrogen receptors in the body, disrupting natural hormone levels and pathways. Testing for xenoestrogens allows for early intervention to minimize exposure and counteract their effects.
How Xenoestrogens Affect the Body
Endocrine Disruption: Mimic natural estrogen, leading to hormonal imbalances.
Reproductive Impact: Associated with reduced sperm quality, menstrual irregularities, and infertility.
Increased Cancer Risk: Linked to higher risks of breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers.
Metabolic Disorders: Contribute to obesity, insulin resistance, and thyroid dysfunction.
Testing and Detoxification Process
Urine or Blood Testing: Detects levels of common xenoestrogens, including BPA, phthalates, and parabens.
Personalized Detox Plan: Includes dietary recommendations, antioxidant supplementation, and lifestyle changes to reduce exposure and support liver detoxification.
Clinical Evidence
A 2022 study in Endocrinology Reviews highlighted the role of xenoestrogens in disrupting estrogen pathways and increasing risks for reproductive and metabolic disorders. Another study in Environmental Health Perspectives emphasized the importance of early detection and intervention in minimizing long-term health effects.
