Yes, and the hormonal imbalances for sure are being caused by:
1- Eating from toxic cook ware. Like Non-stick or Aluminum.
2. Plastics loaded with endocrine disruptor like dioxin, xenohormones. They can alter how natural hormones are produced, metabolized and eliminated from the body.
3. Microwave - Never microwave foods in cellophane or plastic wrap. The heat causes the plastic to off gas harmful chemicals which go into your food.
4. Non organic Body Care Products contain hormone disrupting chemicals including parabens, phthalates, triclosan, Methylbenzylidene, petrochemicals and even lead.
5. Extreme Exercise - Researchers at the University of North Carolina found high-intensity, strenuous and prolonged exercise increases cortisol levels, while lowering thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones stimulate your metabolism and the desired outcome of exercise is not to lower your metabolism.
6. Body Fat Content - Too much body fat has been shown create too much estrogen in the body. Body fat stores and produces estrogen, it also stores xenoestrogens from human-made chemical toxins in plastics, non-organic foods, body care products and a variety of other sources. This creates an internal environment imbalance which may cause infertility, estrogen dominant cancers and fertility health issues.
7. Non-Organic Foods –
Genetically-Modified-Organisms and can foods are linked to hormonal imbalance. Produce, grains, seeds and nuts crops are often heavily sprayed with herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
8. Non-organic meat are loaded with hormone disrupting chemicals. This is because animals are given
Antibiotics and synthetic hormones regularly to ensure rapid development, muscle mass, milk production and to protect their health since their living conditions are rampant with disease due to filthy and cramped living conditions.
9. Drinking the tap water that is known to have hormonal disruptors, chlorine and fluoride.
10. Bottom line eat and drink foods that are organic in every way. Then look for natural supplements
that have been validated to work in detxong, rebuilding and repairing damaged cells
This leads me to what is called Oxidative Stress recognized as a silent killer.

Here you will learn from Dr McCord the #1 scien-ce researcher in the area of antioxidants. He has cracked the Oxidative Stress code.
Hope that this helps
