URGENT: Your Water Bottle is Leaching THIS Hormone Disruptor
Code to Conception
Daily micro-protocols for the 90-day miracle window
| September 21, 2025 |
🔬 Pre-Bump Biology
Your water bottle isn’t as innocent as it looks. Bisphenols (BPA, BPS, BPF)—the “everywhere plastics”—mimic estrogen, block testosterone, and stress your reproductive cells. Couples with lower bisphenol levels show stronger semen vitality, healthier ovarian reserves, and higher fertilization rates in IVF. This is one of the most direct levers you can flip in your 90-day window.
🧬 Protocol Drop
Today’s 1-Step Protocol:
For the next 90 days, banish heated plastic. Swap all water and food contact to glass or stainless steel, avoid bottled water, and never microwave or heat food in plastic. Confirm progress with a urinary bisphenol test at baseline, 2–3 weeks, and 6–8 weeks—aiming below ~11.5 ng/L total BPA.

Bisphenols (BPA, BPS, BPF): Industrial chemicals used to harden plastics and line cans. They bind hormone receptors, confuse your endocrine system, and can impair egg and sperm development. Even “BPA-free” labels usually mean BPS or BPF instead, which show the same fertility-harming effects.
