The Surprising Truth About Toxins and Hormones

Aumatma Simmons podcast

Toxins and Hormones. Could your cleaning spray be connected with infertility or even breast cancer? 

Yes. 

Toxins in your home could be the culprit for what is causing hormonal problems. Hormonal problems are often a root cause of infertility, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and oh-so-many issues that especially women face, often in silence. 

For these reasons, and dozens more, we invited Dr. Aumatma Simmons to the podcast. She is a Naturopathic Doctor who is board-certified in Naturopathic Endocrinology. She has truly transformed the way we think about our hormones and health.

In this episode, she explains how environmental toxins disrupt hormones, why estrogen metabolism matters for breast health, and how supporting methylation and liver detox pathways plays a critical role in clearing hormones effectively. To support these pathways, many women benefit from targeted nutrients like those found in Methyl Support, which helps fuel phase-2 detoxification and healthy estrogen metabolism—two key themes discussed throughout the conversation.

Tune in for a fascinating episode that may finally answer your hormone-related questions. Then, download her Diva’s Detox Guide so you no longer have to blindly ask Google which products to buy or avoid.

Here are some highlights from this Podcast:

  • The Overlap Between Fertility and Cancer
    Dr. Amma explains that reproductive toxins are often the same compounds that increase cancer risk. By reducing exposure to plastics, phthalates, and glyphosate, women can support both fertility and cancer prevention naturally.
  • Three Hidden Toxins to Watch
    She identifies plastics, fragrances containing phthalates, and glyphosate as major hormone disruptors. Dr. Amma shares practical, step-by-step swaps—like using glass containers, fragrance-free products, and organic cotton—to lower daily toxin load.
  • Understanding Estrogen Metabolism
    Hormone imbalance and cancer risk are linked through how the body detoxifies estrogen. Dr. Amma describes three metabolic pathways that can become dysregulated and emphasizes testing rather than guessing when choosing supplements for hormone balance.
  • Listening to Your Menstrual Cycle
    She encourages women to view their cycle as a monthly health report. Cycle length, flow, pain, and consistency can all reveal how balanced—or imbalanced—your hormones truly are, serving as an early warning system for deeper issues.
  • Food and Lifestyle as Anti-Inflammatory Medicine
    Dr. Amma highlights simple but powerful tools to reduce inflammation, from eating 30 different plant foods weekly to cooking with herbs like turmeric, basil, and oregano. Omega-3s and variety in diet can dramatically calm the body’s inflammatory response.
