Xenoestrogens Explained
You hear the words all the time. Xenoestrogens, phytoestrogens, BPA, phthalates. Most people pay them lip service and move on. Today I want to break down what these things actually are, how they work in your body, and what you can realistically do about them.
Because here's the reality. You can measure plastic in the blood of teenagers now. Probably all of us at this point. This stuff is everywhere, and it's wrecking our endocrine and metabolic systems.
What Are Xenoestrogens?
Xenoestrogens are a type of xenohormone that imitates estrogen. They can be synthetic or natural.
The synthetic ones are what cause most of the problems. We're talking about industrial compounds like PCBs, BPA, and phthalates that exert estrogen-like effects on the body.
Natural xenoestrogens include phytoestrogens found in foods like soy and flaxseed. I personally stay away from those.
Where They Come From
Industrial chemicals. BPA shows up in polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins, food and drink containers, water bottles, and the lining of metal food cans. PCBs were banned in many countries but still persist in the environment. Phthalates are everywhere. Toys, vinyl flooring, medical devices, nail polish, hairspray, shampoo, body wash. Your water runs through PVC pipes before you drink it.
Agricultural chemicals. Atrazine and DDT are the big ones. DDT was banned but the residue still lingers. Atrazine is a massive ongoing problem.
Personal care products. Cosmetics, lotions, shampoos. Loaded with parabens and phthalates.
Food. Hormones used in animal farming carry over into meat and dairy. Plastic food containers leach BPA and phthalates, especially when heated.
Medical devices. PVC IV bags and tubing contain phthalates. Not great when you're getting something injected directly into you.
Household products. Detergents, air fresheners, cleaning supplies.
How Xenoestrogens Work in the Body
A lot of people think plastic just "raises your estrogen." That's not really what happens. Let me walk through it.
Xenoestrogens bind to estrogen receptors on the surface of your cells. These receptors are supposed to bind natural estrogens like estradiol. Because xenoestrogens have a similar structure, they can mimic the hormone and activate those receptors inappropriately.
Think of it like this. Imagine someone dresses up like me, comes into my workplace with my face, and starts messing everything up. Everyone thinks Hunter is doing a terrible job. But it's not me. I'm being held hostage at home while my evil twin trashes the place.
That's what xenoestrogens do at the receptor.
They also block your natural estrogen from binding. So you get this double problem. Imposters activating receptors they shouldn't, and real estrogen getting locked out.
On top of that, they interfere with how your body metabolizes and clears estrogen. The whole system gets disrupted.
The Effects
Reproductive health issues. Fertility problems. Menstrual irregularities. Early puberty in young girls. Developmental problems with reproductive organs.
Increased cancer risk. Chronic exposure has been linked to breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and testicular cancer. Look at how breast cancer rates have climbed over the last century.
Obesity and metabolic disorders. They contribute to weight gain and insulin resistance.
Neurological effects. Mood and cognitive performance can take a hit.
How They Tank Your Testosterone
This is the one guys really need to pay attention to.
Xenoestrogens send negative feedback to the HPG axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal). High estrogenic signaling tells your body to make less GnRH and LH, which means less testosterone production in the testes.
They can also directly affect Leydig cells, which are the cells that make testosterone.
Some xenoestrogens inhibit enzymes involved in testosterone synthesis, like 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.
They can also increase aromatase activity. Aromatase converts testosterone into estrogen. More aromatase, less testosterone, more estrogen. Bad combo.
And some bind directly to androgen receptors, blocking testosterone from doing its job at the target site.
DNA Transcription
Once a xenoestrogen activates an estrogen receptor, that receptor complex binds to specific DNA sequences called estrogen response elements. This drives transcription of estrogen-responsive genes.
The problem is the genes get activated when they shouldn't be. Or suppressed when they shouldn't be.
Xenoestrogens can also cause epigenetic changes like DNA methylation and histone modification. These changes alter gene expression without changing the actual DNA sequence. Bruce Lipton's work on epigenetics is great if you want to go deeper here.
End result, your DNA isn't being read the way it's supposed to be read. Your body doesn't grow and respond to its environment the way it should.
Insulin Sensitivity and Body Fat
Here's how xenoestrogens make you fat.
They interfere with insulin signaling. By binding to estrogen receptors, they alter how cells respond to insulin. Glucose uptake drops. Insulin resistance goes up.
They also alter the expression of genes involved in glucose metabolism. Production, storage, and use of glucose all get thrown off.
Chronic exposure drives oxidative stress and inflammation, which further impairs insulin signaling.
They influence adipose tissue, promoting more fat storage, especially visceral fat. That visceral fat then releases pro-inflammatory cytokines, which makes insulin resistance worse. A nasty feedback loop.
There's also evidence they affect pancreatic beta cells, the cells that produce insulin in the first place.
Effects on Women's Hormones
For women, the effects are everywhere.
Hormonal imbalance from too much estrogenic activity. Menstrual irregularities, heavy flow, cramps, PMS. A lot of women dealing with brutal periods could trace some of it back to high xenoestrogen exposure.
Fertility issues. Ovulation, egg quality, and overall reproductive health all take a hit.
Hormone-related cancers, especially breast and ovarian.
Effects on breast tissue, including fibrocystic breast disease.
Worse menopausal symptoms. Hot flashes and night sweats can be made worse by xenoestrogens interfering at the receptor.
Thyroid disruption. Xenoestrogens can downregulate thyroid function and contribute to hypothyroidism.
How to Detox and Reduce Exposure
You're not going to avoid all of it. But you can dramatically cut your exposure.
Reduce plastic. Use glass and stainless steel for food and drink storage. Don't heat food in plastic. Don't microwave anything in plastic. Use ceramic or glass instead.
Choose organic. Especially for meat, dairy, and produce. Less hormones, less pesticides.
Audit your personal care products. Even a lot of "natural" ones still have phthalates and parabens. Read labels.
Watch household products. Cleaning supplies, air fresheners, building materials.
Support your liver. Eat a diet rich in antioxidants. Use milk thistle, glutathione (injectable is great), and other liver-support supplements.
Improve gut health. Probiotics, fiber, fermented foods. A healthy microbiome helps clear this stuff out.
Stay hydrated with electrolytes. Helps your kidneys flush toxins.
Move your body. Reduces body fat where these toxins accumulate. Sauna and sweating help eliminate them through the skin.
Avoid high-risk foods. Non-organic produce, farmed fish, processed food, anything that comes packaged in plastic.
My Take
We're not getting rid of xenoestrogens. They're in the environment from here on out, and city hall isn't going to fix it for us. The real solution is personal. Cut your exposure where you can, support the systems that clear this stuff out, and stop heating food in plastic like it's nothing.
You don't have to be perfect. But once you understand what's actually happening at the cellular level, the basic advice (use glass, eat organic, exercise, sweat) stops sounding like wellness fluff and starts making real sense. Be the change you want to see, even if it's just in your own kitchen.

Hey everybody, this is Hunter Williams. I hope you're doing amazing wherever you are in the world. Today I'm going to be talking about Xenoestrogens. This is one of those things you hear like xenoestrogens, phytoestrogen, all these things out there. And you know, they're probably bad, but a lot of people just kind of pay them lip service. So today, what I wanted to do is just a whole, you layman's terms breakdown of what Xeno estrogenes are and how they work in the body, especially with how prevalent they are becoming in world today. It's quite apparent, like you can measure teenager's blood and there's like plastic.
I mean, probably all of our blood at this point, But even younger people have measurable levels of plastic in their blood and whatnot. So this is obviously a huge problem. It's affecting our endocrine system. This is affecting like our metabolic system, it's effecting everything as it relates to our overall health. What today I'm going to do is just break down what the Xenoestrogens are. how they work in the body and also to like, how do we avoid them? What's like what are we to do? Cause it's not like we're not going to go down to, you know, city hall and pick it and get, companies remove Xeno estrogens from everything.
It's kind of just the world we live in now. So, the real solution is like how did we pivot and like navigate away and do as much as we can in our own lives to make change. As I always say, be the change you want to see. That's what we're going to talk about today. Before I jump into that, first of all, just thank you guys so much to everyone that's been coming to the channel lately. It's amazing to see all the support and everything. So if you get any value out of this video, like, share, comment, subscribe, that the biggest compliment you can leave me.

And then finally, if you wanna get discounts on your favorite peptides, check our Limitless Life Neutropics and Amino Asylum. I got my discount codes down below in description as well. So without further ado, I'm going to share my screen and today we're gonna talk about Xenoestrogens. So what are xenoestrogens?
Basically they're a type of xenohormone that imitates estrogen, so they are either synthetic or natural chemical compounds. Synthetic xenoestrogens include widely used industrial compounds such as PCBs, BPA, and phthalates, which these have estrogen effects on living organisms. So natural xenooestrogen includes compounds found in foods such phytoestrogens. We're talking about xenaoestrangens primarily the synthetic form of them that are causing most of the issues today. Where do they come from? So we've got industrial chemicals.
So, we got BPA or bisphenol A. This is found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, which are used in many plastic products, including food and drink containers, water bottles and the lining of metal food cans. We've also got polychlorinated biphenols or PCBs. Though banned in many countries, these chemicals were once widely used in electrical equipment, paints and flame retardants and persists to this day in the environment. And then we've got phthalates, they are used as plasticizers and PVC plastics.
They are found in numerous products, including toys, vinyl flooring, medical devices, and personal care products like nail polish and hairspray. You know, I think pthalates. BPAs are a lot of places, but phtalites are like in things that are actually like going into our body. like our water goes through PVC pipes and then we drink it, shampoo, body wash, all these different things. So it's pretty crazy. We've also got agricultural chemicals. Certain pesticides and herbicides contain xenoestrogens or have estrogenic effects.
So examples include atrazine and DDT, although DDt is banned in many countries, its residue still persists in the environment. But you know, again, atrizine huge, huge problem. You know personal care products such as cosmetics, lotion, shampoos often contain parabens and phthalates, which can have estrogenic effects as well. We've got food as well. So as with everything, our food, especially meat and dairy is contaminated. Hormones used in animal farming can contain xenoestrogens or induce estrogenic effects. Consuming meat in dairy from these animals can be a source of exposure.
We've also got plastic food containers and packaging. So foods and beverages stored or heated in certain plastic containers can lead to leaching of Xenoestrogens like BPA and phthalates into the food. We also have household products, so products like detergents, air fresheners, and certain plastics can release Xenestrogen compounds. So, you know, it's really everywhere. We've got medical devices. So some medical vices made with PVC, such as IV bags and tubing can contain valites, which is obviously not good if you're like getting an IV and you are getting something injected into you.
So industrial waste and runoff can contaminate water supplies with Xenoestrogens, which can accumulate in the aquatic ecosystem. And then finally, we have natural resources. So though not Xenosterone in a strict sense, certain plants can produce phytoestrogen which mimic estrogen. These are found in things like soy and flaxseed. I choose to stay away from those myself. Here's what Xeno estrogen do. So obviously we know they're bad, right? Everyone knows they are bad. But how do they work in the body? And I've always been curious about this, you know, even before I really delved deep into this.
Um, so I want to explain like, a lot of people like estrogen bad well, synthetic estrogen, bad estrogen itself inside the is not necessarily bad especially like optimized levels. But how are xenoestrogens different? Because a lot of people just think that like, oh, you use plastic and that raises your estrogen level. That's not really how it works. So I kind of like want to walk through this and explain it really clearly. Xeno estrogene combined to estrogen receptors on the surface of cells. These receptors normally bind natural estrogen hormones like estradiol and xenestrogen due to their similar structure to estrogen can mimic this hormone
and activate estrogen in receptors. they're going into the cell and replacing the natural estrogen of the body and binding to the estrogen receptor. And so once xenoestrogens bind to these receptors, they can activate them, leading to inappropriate or overstimulation of estrogen-responsive genes. So this can result in abnormal expression of genes that are normally regulated by estrogen. Again, it'd be like you have an imposter come in. Say there's someone that dresses up like and they go into your workplace, and then they start messing everything up.
So they're not you, they kick you out, so they basically like hold you hostage at home. They dress up as you. they have like your face and everything and they go into your work and then they start screwing everything up. And then everyone's like, Hey, like Hunter's doing really bad at work today. What's the deal with him? Well, it's not Hunter. That's why, and Hunter is like causing a bunch of problems and stuff because he's basically your evil twin or doppelganger. that's kind of like what Xenoestrogens are doing to the cell receptor. So, They also block natural estrogen. by doing this are blocking natural estrogen from binding the receptors.
And when the receptor are occupied with these false estrogens, they prevent natural estrogen from exerting their normal effects, which lead to disrupted hormone balance. So by kicking out the estrogen that's native to the body, it's affecting the endocrine system in a very negative way. So these compounds also interfere with the normal metabolism and clearance of estrogens from the body, leading to altered levels of estrogen and its metabolites. And then besides directly interacting with receptors, they can also affect other cellular signaling pathways and processes contributing to their disruptive effects.
So what are those effects? Well, here we go. We've got reproductive health issues. They can lead to fertility problems as evidenced in the world today, massive problems with infertility, menstrual irregularities, or even like the, Beginning of a menstrual cycle, like way too early in a girl's life and developmental disorders and reproductive organs like micro penis or things like that. So exposure during critical periods of development, such as in the womb or during early childhood can lead to long-term health and development issues. You know, that's apparent, you know now.
There's also increased cancer risk. So chronic exposure to Zenoestrogen is linked to an increased risk of certain cancers, particularly those sensitive to hormones like breast cancer and ovarian cancer, and testicular cancer in men. You know, it's obviously you could look at like a chart of breast, cancer how much on the rise it is, you know the last century. They may also contribute to obesity, metabolic disorders and possibly affect neurological functions, including mood and cognitive performance. There's also testosterone. So how do they affect testosterone? So there's basically a negative feedback on the HPG, which is the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis.
The HPD axis regulates the production of sex hormones and estrogen, whether natural or mimicked by Xenoestrogens can provide negative feed back to the hypothalamus and pitutary gland. This feedback can lead to reduced secretion of gonatotropin, releasing hormone, otherwise known as GNRH, and luteinizing hormone, otherwise know as LH which are critical for stimulating testosterone production in the testes. Thus, high levels of Xenoestrogens can indirectly lead to reduced testosterone synthesis. Let me say that again, High levels Xenooestrogen can indirectly lead reduce testosterone syntheses, thereby lowering the testosterone in your body.
They can also directly affect testicular cells, so xenoestrogens might directly effect lytic cells in the testes, which are responsible for testosterone production. And by disrupting the normal functioning of these cells xenooestrogen can lead to decreased testosterone synthesis. We also have the inhibition of enzymes involved in this synthesis of testosterone. So some of these xenoestrogens can inhibit the activity of enzymes that are crucial and the biosynthesis of testosterone. So for example, they might inhibit enzymes like 17B hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase, which plays a key role in the conversion of precursors to testosterone,
we've also got increased aromatase activity. Aromatases is an enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen, so some xenaestrogen can increase the expression or activity aromatase leading to a higher conversion rate of Testosterone to estrogen thereby reducing the levels of testosterone don't need to go into a whole long winded thing on that but you obviously see this is not good. We've also got their ability to affect the metabolism and clearance of testosterone from the body, altering its overall levels and availability in terms of free testosterone.
And then there's the interference with the actual androgen receptor itself. So some xenoestrogens might also bind to androgen receptors, blocking the action of testosterone at its target sites, or they might alter the normal signaling pathways of these receptors. You see there is this whole interplay of the receptor site at the cell that is getting blocked. by the Xeno estrogens. And when it does that, again, when I have the imposter go in and take over for me at my job, everything goes to complete, you know, crap.
Because not only does it like mess up like my role in the company that I work for, it messes up everyone else in my company. So there's all this cascade of problems and then the customers get mad and all that stuff. That's similar to what's happening here. Now, let's look at DNA transcription. So xenoestrogens, due to their structural similarity to natural estrogenes, can bind estrogen receptors, which are nuclear hormone receptors like we've talked about. These receptors are not just simple on-off switches for gene transcription, they modulate a wide range of genes within the cell. Upon binding with xenonestrogen, the estrogen receptor undergo a conformational change and become activated.
This activation typically involves the pairing of the receptor, creating an active receptor complex. Now, when the activated complex then binds to specific DNA sequences known as estrogen response elements, located in the promoter regions of estrogen responsive genes, this binding facilitates the transcription of these genes. However, the presence of xenoestrogen can lead to aberrant activation of suppression of genes that are normally regulated by natural estrogens. So the ER complex, once bound to the EREs, recruits various cofactors and co-repressors to DNA, and these are proteins that modulate the transcriptional
activity of the receptor complex. And coactivators enhance the transcriptions of target genes while corepresors suppress it. Xenoestrogen alter the normal balance of these coregulatory proteins, leading to changes in gene expression. We've also got epigenetic modifications. Epigenetics has become huge in recent years, thanks to the work of guys like Bruce Lipton. But the xenoestrogens also induce epigene changes such as DNA methylation and histone modification, which can alter gene expression without changing the
DNA sequence. So these modifications can affect the transcription activity of genes by changing accessibility of the D and A to transcriptional machinery. And then in addition to ER mediated pathways, Xenoestrogens can also influence gene transcription through non-ER pathways. And they may interact with other transcription factors or signaling pathways in the cell leading to changes in gene expression. The result of these interactions is changes and the expression of a wide array of genes, which can have various biological effects. These depend on the specific genes affected, the tissue or cell type, level exposure, and specific Xenoestrogen involved.
So all that to say it's not good for your DNA. By working on the cell receptor site, all of the Xenoestrogens are causing like this mistranscription of DNA which ruins like how your body responds and like grows and response to the environment, which is really sad. Now let's look at insulin sensitivity. So like, how do xenoestrogens make you fat? Because all, you know, like obesity, a lot can be traced back to insulin-sensitivity. They basically interfere with the normal signaling pathways of insulin as well.
By binding the estrogen receptors, they alter the cellular responses that are typically mediated by insulin. This can lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the insulin in promoting glucose uptake by the cells, known as insulin resistance. So basically, long story short, is it's affecting your ability to process carbohydrates and makes you less responsive to metabolizing carbohydrates effectively and efficiently. Not just carbohydrates, but food in general. So we've also got the altered expression of genes related to glucose metabolism.
Like we talked about with the interaction and DNA transcription, Xenorectins alter the expression genes involved in glucose, metabolism, and this affects the production, storage and utilization of glucose further contributing to insulin resistance. Then we've got oxidative stress and inflammation. Chronic exposure to certain xenoestrogens can lead to increased inflammation and oxidated stress in the body. Both of these conditions are known to impair insulin signaling and can contribute to the development of insulin resistance and eventually type 2 diabetes. Then, we have the impact on adipose tissue, which is just the fat tissue.
So, xeno esterins influence the function and distribution of adipose tissue, and they can promote an increase in fat storage, especially visceral fat, which is the bad fat which, is more metabolically active and associated with insulin resistance. So additionally, altered adepose-tissue function can lead to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and adibokins that further impair insulin sensitivity. When we accrue this fat Because of the nature of fat, it's releasing toxins into the body or otherwise known as pro-inflammatory cytokines that cause even
that much more inflammation in the in body. We've also got endocrine disruption. So, Xenoestrogens, because they're endocrine disruptors, can interfere with overall hormonal balance and this indirectly affects insulin sensitivity as hormones like estrogen have complex interactions with insulin and glucose metabolism. Also, exposure to xenoestrogens is clearly linked to obesity, a major risk factor of insulin resistance and diabetes, and by promoting fat accumulation and altering metabolic processes, xenooestrogen can contribute to the development of obesity which in turn impairs insulin sensitivity.
Then we've also got the effect on the pancreatic beta cells. So these are, there's evidence to suggest that Xenoestrogens might affect the health and function of pancreatic beta-cells which are responsible for insulin production. Impairment in beta cell function can lead to inadequate insulin secretion in response to glucose, which again, that's basically insulin resistant. Obviously, this whole host of things is not good. Now we talked about testosterone, let's look at women's hormones. So xenoestrogens combine to estrogen receptors in the body because their structure is similar to that of natural estrogents,
they can mimic the effects of estrogen. This can lead to an overall increase in estrogenic activity in a body which then disrupts the natural balance of hormones Then we've got hormonal imbalance. So the presence of Xenoestrogens can lead to hormono imbalance, obviously, they can cause an excess of estrogen effects or block natural estrogen from binding to its receptors leading to reduced estrogen activity. And this imbalance can affect various bodily functions regulated by estrogen. And then like we talked about, there's menstrual irregularities. So due to their effect on the hormonal balance, Xenoestrogens can contribute to menstruial irregularity.
They can affect flow, cramps, and PMS. Like a lot of women, if they have really heavy flow. A lot that could be traced back to the level and presence of high Xenooestrogen within the body. Like we talked about earlier, there's fertility issues. They can affect ovulation, egg quality, and overall reproductive health. There's also hormone-related cancers, like we talk about early with breast cancer and ovarian cancer. And then obviously there is the impact on breast tissue. So xenoestrogens can influence the development and health of breast tissues.
It may contribute to benign conditions like fibrocystic breast disease and may also play a role in breast-cancer development. We've also got the effect on metabolism so they can contribute to weight gain, insulin resistance and increased metabolic syndrome. So you see this like a negative feedback loop that's just like building and building on itself. It also can impact pregnancy. During pregnancy, it can affect the mother and the developing fetus and interfere with normal hormonal development required for healthy fetal development. We've also got menopausal symptoms and for, you know, menomposal or perimenoposal women, zeta-estrogens can exacerbate symptoms such as hot flashes and
night sweats because of how they're interacting with the estrogen or separate the cell. And then we have thyroid disruption. So one of the, you know, biggest problems as it relates to women's hormonal function is like thyroid downregulation. And xenoestrogens can interfere with thyroid function as they can disrupt the regulation of thyroid hormones contributing to hypothyroidism, which is just otherwise known as low thyroid. So that sounds really, really negative, right? Well, how do we detox? So the first thing is going to be to reduce exposure. So we've got to avoid plastic containers, especially for food and drink storage, avoid plastics known to lead to Xenoestrogens,
you know, BPAs and phthalates. To use glass, stainless steel, I would even say don't even use plastic at all. If you can use a glass and stainless deal for everything, do that. Choose organic foods or organic food is less likely to be contaminated even though that's still, you know, gonna be it because it's just in the world that we live in today. It's going to less so choosing organic meat and dairy and produce can reduce exposure to hormones and pesticides. Obviously be cautious with personal care products, even some of these like Natural personal care products still have a lot of these Xeno estrogen in them,
so try to stay as natural as possible. And then be aware of potential sources like cleaning products, air fresheners, and building materials. All of this stuff, you've just got to be kind of like OCD with it. Another thing is to support liver function. So the liver plays a crucial role in detoxing Xenoestrogens. We've got to eat a diet rich in antioxidants, we've gotta eat healthy, and then supplement things like milk thistle, injectable glutathione, all those other supplements that I've talked about that help with liver health.
Improve gut health. So a healthy gut microbiome obviously is important in detoxification. Eat probiotic rich foods, take probiotics, eat lots of foods that are healthy and have fiber, stay hydrated. Having electrolytes in the body is one of the most important things that you can do is to drink a plenty of water with electrolyte helps to support kidney function, which helps flush out toxins and eliminate waste products from the Obviously, regular physical activity, not just good because of what it does for your overall body health, but the movement can help reduce body fat, just clearing all of these things out of our body.
So the more you move, the better you're going to be at being able to clear Xeno estrogen from your body and then sweating. Like sauna or intense physical physical activities helps eliminate toxins through the skin and avoid high-risk foods. Non-organic food, farmed fish, processed food. All that stuff is going to have the stuff in it, especially stuff if it comes in plastic, which you know, like what food doesn't come in a plastic? It's almost impossible, but we also have food storage, so avoid heating food and don't put it in the microwave in an plastic container.
Use ceramic or glass if you're going use like a microwave or cook something. Never cook stuff and plastic if can help it. And just be cautious with the use of aluminum foil and non-stick cookware. So that's it. I know that was, um, you know, kind of a long winded one, but hopefully you have a better understanding now of, You know why is you no estrogen so bad? You hear this stuff all the time. Oh, don't use plastic. Go or eat organic food. You exercise is good for you, right? Now you understand like how important it is to adhere to all these principles because of what's going on at the cellular level.
We've got the hormonal regulation, the DNA, uh, problems and everything. So. All I'm saying is be aware. Are we going to avoid this stuff? No. It's in the environment. You know, it's going be like around us from here on out. I don't see anything stopping the tide of this, but what can we do is like move away from it. Try to not use as much plastic stuff. try to use BPA free stuff if you can try. To like use glass and steel, try, to like, use natural shampoo, all that stuff plays a big role. And you know it, not going, be impossible, But we can do a lot to stem the time of it so.
