Modern Infertility: Environmental Toxins, Hormone Disruption, and Restoring Fertility

Clinical nutritionist Corinne Furnari, pharmacist Carol Petersen, and functional medicine physician Dr. Benois Tano explore the rising global infertility crisis and the often-overlooked role of environmental toxins. Dr. Tano explains his shift from allergy and immunology into functional medicine after seeing how conventional medicine frequently misses the deeper impact of hormone disruption, toxic burden, and metabolic imbalance. The conversation highlights the growing concern around estrogen-mimicking chemicals in food, plastics, and water, which the speakers connect to infertility, obesity, cancer, and developmental issues. They stress that preparing the body for conception should begin with reducing toxic exposure, supporting detoxification pathways, and prioritizing organic, nutrient-dense foods. The segment closes with Dr. Tano sharing tools he created through his app and website to help individuals monitor fertility, understand environmental risks, and take a more proactive approach to reproductive health.https://corinnehealth.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thewellnessbydesignproject.com/https://www.allervie.com/provider/benoit-tano-md/
