Hormonal Imbalance Predictor

The Hormonal Imbalance Predictor (PFAS Exposure Score) estimates your systemic load of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. By analyzing written inputs regarding your water filtration habits, food packaging frequency, and cookware usage, this tool identifies which hormonal pathways (Thyroid, Estrogen, or Testosterone) are at the highest potential risk from environmental toxins.

Enter Values

Water Filtration Type

Describe how you filter your primary drinking water (e.g., None, RO, Pitcher).

Processed Food Habits

How often do you eat food packaged in plastic or grease-resistant wraps?

Cookware Material and Frequency

Describe your primary cooking surface (e.g., Teflon pans used daily).

Formula

Core Formula

Endocrine Load Index = (Water Load + Dietary Packing + Cookware Coating) / 70 × 100

How it works: Calculated using a weighted risk-stratification model where environmental factors are scored based on their documented impact on endocrine function. Water filtration quality serves as the baseline, with cumulative points added for plastic-packaged food consumption and degraded non-stick cookware usage.

Review and Methodology

Updated Apr 15, 2026

This calculator runs locally in your browser. Inputs are converted into the units required by the formula, and the result is paired with supporting references so you can verify the method before using it for planning or estimates.

Worked Example

Habits: "I use a Brita pitcher, eat out daily, and use old non-stick pans."

1. Water (Brita/Carbon) = 15 pts

2. Diet (Daily/Plastic) = 20 pts

3. Cookware (Daily/Non-stick) = 20 pts

4. Raw Score = 55

5. Index = (55 / 70) * 100 = 79%

6. Result: High Risk. Highest stress predicted for Thyroid (due to cookware) and Estrogen (due to diet).

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the PFAS Exposure Score?

This tool uses free-text natural-language inputs (e.g., "Brita pitcher", "daily takeout") instead of numeric/select dropdowns. The underlying scoring weights are similar but the score is normalized to 0-100% for quick interpretation.

What hormonal pathways does this assess?

It maps cumulative environmental exposure to three primary endocrine targets: Thyroid (mostly cookware and water PFAS), Estrogen (mostly plastic food packaging), and Testosterone (food packaging phthalates).

Is the natural-language input case-sensitive?

No. All inputs are lowercased and matched against keyword sets, so "Reverse Osmosis", "RO filter", and "ro" all map to the same low-burden score.

Can I improve my Endocrine Load Index?

Yes. Switching to RO or distilled water, replacing non-stick pans with stainless steel or cast iron, and reducing plastic-packaged takeout will lower all three burden subscores within weeks.

How can I put this Hormonal Imbalance Predictor on my blog or website?

Yes, the Hormonal Imbalance Predictor is fully embeddable. Tap "Embed" above to configure appearance and copy the code.
