“the importance of fertility markers not just for pregnancy, but as a powerful window into overall health, vitality and longevity.”

Fragrances act as potent endocrine disruptors
“anything that could be an endocrine disrupter, which a lot of scents or fragrances are also, can accelerate the onset of puberty by disrupting part of this system.”

“By the time you're born, you've already lost more than half of those, and you continually lose eggs all the time.”

“FSH or follicle stimulating hormone... starts to get those follicles which house the eggs to grow and make estrogen.”

Toxins contribute to earlier puberty onset
“toxins and scents and a lot of the world that we're exposed to is part of the reason why we're seeing puberty happen at such a younger age now in females.”
