10 Easy Swaps to Support Your Hormones

When it comes to hormone health, what you put in and on your body matters more than you think. Many everyday products contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can throw off your body’s natural balance. But don’t worry, small changes ( scootches ), as I like to call them, can make a big impact! Here are 10 easy swaps to start supporting your hormones naturally without getting too sciency & overwhelming for you.

1. Swap Toxic Candles & Plug-Ins for Non-Toxic Alternatives

Many candles and plug-in air fresheners contain paraffin wax, synthetic fragrances, and lead wicks, which release harmful chemicals into the air. Breathing in these toxins can contribute to hormone disruption and even respiratory issues. Upgrading these seeming harmless items in your home can make profound effects on your well-being

Swap for: Beeswax, soy wax or coconut wax candles with cotton wicks and scented with  essential oil.  Swap out  plug in air fresheners for  essential oil plug in diffusers.

2. Upgrade Your Perfume & Cologne

Traditional perfumes and colognes are full of synthetic fragrances that contain phthalates, a known endocrine disruptor that can interfere with hormone production.

Swap for: Non-toxic perfume brands like Dime Beauty or Henry Rose, which use clean ingredients that won’t mess with your hormones.

3. Ditch Toxic Deodorant

Most conventional deodorants contain aluminum, parabens, and artificial fragrances, which can be absorbed through the skin and impact hormone function.

Swap for: Clean deodorant brands like Just Ingredients, which provide odor protection without harmful ingredients.

4. Use a Non-Toxic Laundry Detergent

Your clothes, towels, and sheets are constantly touching your skin—meaning any toxins in your detergent are being absorbed into your body, including sensitive areas. Many detergents contain synthetic fragrances, sulfates, and endocrine disruptors.


Swap for: Molly Suds, Truly Free, or Attitude—these brands are free from harmful chemicals and safe for your skin and hormones.

5. Swap Oats for Hemp Seeds

Oats may seem like a healthy breakfast choice, but they are often heavily sprayed with pesticides like glyphosate, which can interfere with your hormones. Plus, oats can spike insulin levels, which impacts overall hormone balance.

Swap for: Hemp seeds! They are rich in protein, omega-3s, and fiber. Try making an “overnight no-oats” bowl by soaking hemp seeds in non-dairy yogurt or sprinkling them on salads for a nutritious boost.

6. Avoid Sugar-Free & Artificially Flavored Drinks

Many sugar-free drinks contain artificial sweeteners and dyes that disrupt your hormones and gut health. Diet sodas and pre-workout drinks are often the worst offenders.

Swap for: Spindrift for a naturally flavored sparkling water, or make hormone-friendly mocktails at home. If you need an energy boost, Just Ingredients’ Pre-Workout is a great clean caffeine option.

7. Choose Quality Coffee

Coffee itself isn’t the enemy, but conventional coffee is often contaminated with pesticides and mold. Plus, K-cups expose you to microplastics when heated.

Swap for: Organic, mold-free whole coffee beans. Grind them fresh at home to reduce exposure to toxins.

8. Be Picky with Your Protein Powder

Many protein powders contain artificial sweeteners, seed oils, and preservatives that can negatively affect your hormones.

Swap for: Look for clean protein powders like Just Ingredients (whey) or Sunwarrior (vegan) that use high-quality, natural ingredients. And remember, shakes should complement a diet rich in whole, high-quality protein like grass-fed beef or wild-caught fish.

9. Upgrade Your Feminine Products

Pads and tampons can contain chlorine, synthetic fibers, and fragrances that are absorbed into your body, disrupting hormone function.

Swap for: Organic, chlorine-free brands like Rael, Cora, or Natracare, which prioritize safe and non-toxic materials.

10. Switch to Non-Toxic Lotion & Body Wash

Your skin is your largest organ, absorbing everything you put on it—including toxic ingredients found in many lotions and body washes.

Swap for: Clean brands like Acure, Just Ingredients, and Dime Beauty, which use safe, nourishing ingredients to support skin health without hormone-disrupting chemicals.
