Welcome and thank you for listening!

As a midwife, Lungile Gamede started noticing a surge in conditions like debilitating periods, PCOS, and endometriosis among the young girls in her community. But her journey started even closer to home: Lungile herself struggled with intense bloating, severe PMS, and symptoms the doctors couldn't resolve. This personal health battle—combined with her professional observations—led her down a path of crucial discovery: the role of hormone-disrupting toxins in everyday products.

Lungile breaks down what these Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) are, where we find them, and exactly how they impact reproductive health. She shares how she learned to heal her own body and now teaches those powerful, actionable clean living solutions to empower young women.

In this episode, we discuss:

Lungile's personal struggle with bloating and severe PMS that sparked her deep dive into hormonal health.

The common reproductive issues Lungile saw in her community that confirmed her research findings.

Surprising everyday sources of EDCs (cosmetics, plastics, food etc.) and their direct link to conditions like period pains and endometriosis.

The success stories and real-life improvements girls are seeing after adopting Lungile's clean living habits.

Practical first steps for women and supportive advice for parents and guardians.
