I spent yesterday making homemade bathroom spray for my our home, chest rub for a friend, and tick spray for my dog.
All with organic essential oils, organic olive oil, beeswax—no synthetic fragrances, no parabens, no phthalates.
And here's why this matters for your menopausal clients:
Most conventional room sprays, body lotions, perfumes, and personal care products are loaded with xenoestrogens, synthetic chemicals that mimic estrogen in the body.
Here's what happens:
These chemicals enter through the skin (your largest organ), get into the bloodstream, and bind to estrogen receptors in your cells.
Your cells think they're getting real estrogen—but they're getting impostor estrogen.
The result?
→ Hormone disruption
→ Inflammation
→ Estrogen dominance symptoms
→ Increased toxic load on the liver
→ Compromised detox pathways
And in perimenopause? This gets WORSE.
When estrogen is already fluctuating wildly, and the liver is already taxed from decades of stress, adding xenoestrogens to the mix compounds the problem.
Your client who's "doing everything right" but still struggling with weight gain, brain fog, hot flashes, and sleep disruption?
She might be using synthetic fragrance in her laundry detergent, scented candles, conventional body lotion, and air fresheners every single day.
And most practitioners have no idea how much this impacts hormone metabolism.
This is one of the environmental factors we cover in The MenoWarrior Method.
Because you can't address hormone imbalance without addressing hormone disruptors.
Your clients deserve practitioners who understand this connection.
