Webinar #178
“Ligtas ba sa kalusugan ang ating mga kagamitan?”
How Chemicals Affect Our Hormones Every Day

In recent years, an invisible menace has infiltrated our daily lives, affecting our well-being in ways we may not fully comprehend – endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors are compounds that interfere with the delicate balance of hormones in the endocrine system, leading to a cascade of effects that touch every aspect of our physiological and reproductive functions. From common household items to industrial byproducts, these pervasive disruptors lurk in unexpected places, exposing us to potential health risks that demand our attention.

In this webinar, we will look into the sources, mechanisms, and consequences of the presence of endocrine disruptors in our environment. We will explore the broad spectrum of these disruptors, ranging from synthetic chemicals to natural substances, and examine their ability to mimic or interfere with hormones crucial to our development and well-being.

Our distinguished panel of experts will discuss the latest research findings, connecting the dots between endocrine disruptors and various health issues, including reproductive disorders, metabolic disturbances, and developmental abnormalities. Our main presenter is Dr. Erlidia Llamas-Clark, who is a Professor and Attending Consultant from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, UP-Philippine General Hospital. Our reactor is Dr. Ina Irabon, who is a practicing reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist at the Asia Hospital and Medical Center as well as at the Perpetual Help Medical Center.

Together, we will explore potential strategies to mitigate the impact of endocrine disruptors on human health, fostering a collective commitment to creating healthier environments for ourselves and future generations.

And together, we can stop preventable deaths!
