Building a fertility-friendly environment doesn't require a full lifestyle overhaul or endless product research—it starts with a few strategic, high-impact swaps. In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact places to begin so you can lower endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) exposure and protect your egg and sperm health with confidence. We're using a simple, practical framework: what goes in your body, what goes on your body, and what goes around your body.

From cookware and food storage to underwear fabrics, dish soap, water filtration, fragrances, deodorants, and indoor air quality, this episode breaks down the swaps that matter most—and the ones that aren't worth your stress. You'll walk away knowing where to start, how to choose safer products, and which daily habits help reduce toxic load while supporting healthy cycles, implantation, and better reproductive outcomes.

"Protecting egg and sperm health starts with reducing the exposures you can control." - Brooke Boskovich.
