Is Neem Secretly Disrupting Your Gut, Hormones, and Fertility?

After a client had a severe reaction, Dr. Brad went digging into the research behind neem — one of the most common pesticides used in organic farming — and what he found raises real questions. In this episode, he walks through case observations and published research on how neem may affect digestion and nutrient absorption, disrupt the gut microbiome, and throw off mineral and hormone balance. He looks at studies connecting neem to shifts in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, to fertility outcomes in both men and women, and to liver and kidney stress — then breaks down why the "organic" label doesn't actually tell you which pesticides were used. If you care about gut health, hormone balance, fertility, or just want to know what's really behind your food, this one's worth your time.Episode HighlightsThe reaction that sent Dr. Brad digging into neem researchHow neem may affect digestion, absorption, and the gut microbiomeWhat the research says about neem, estrogen, and testosteroneNeem and fertility: findings in men and womenLiver and kidney considerations raised in the studiesWhy "organic" doesn't automatically mean pesticide-freeHow to actually find clean, trustworthy produce🔔 Subscribe for more deep dives into the hidden health effects of everyday food and farming practices.neem toxicity, organic pesticides, is neem safe, neem side effects, organic food safety, gut health, gut microbiome, hormone balance, estrogen and testosterone, fertility and pesticides, Ayurvedic medicine, clean eating, holistic health podcast
