Love the earth and fix your health

Me in high school around the time I was diagnosed with PCOS.

I’m not crazy for harboring suspicions that my reproductive health issues were caused by multi-generational exposure to chemicals used in big agriculture. There is ample evidence to suggest that exposure to pesticides can be traced back up to three generations, and some symptoms can take anywhere from 5 to 30 years to present themselves.

“These chemicals can disrupt the proper functioning of hormonal pathways at extremely low levels,” says Nathan Donley, Ph.D., a scientist at the Center for Biological Diversity. “In the case of atrazine, concentrations lower than what is allowed in our drinking water are sufficient to turn a male tadpole into a female frog.”
