Woman smiling beside her water filter

Women's hormone health · 40+

You're doing the work to balance your hormones. Your water may be undoing it.

You've cut the seed oils, swapped the plastic containers, cleaned up your skincare. But the tap water you drink and cook with all day carries PFAS and microplastics, and these are recognised endocrine disruptors: chemicals that can interfere with the very hormones you're working to settle.

The work you're already putting in

You've cleaned up every hormone input but one.

If you're navigating perimenopause, you've built a whole routine around lowering your load. Look at how much you've already changed.

Your hormone-balancing list

  • Magnesium & the right supplements
  • Cut back alcohol
  • Swapped plastic containers for glass
  • Cleaned up skincare & make-up
  • Seed cycling & whole foods
  • Strength training
  • Adaptogens & cortisol care
  • Prioritised sleep
? The water you drink and cook with Untracked

You went to the trouble of ditching plastic containers, then kept drinking litres of unfiltered water from the same tap every day.

The word for these chemicals

They're literally called endocrine disruptors.

This is the same mechanism you've been reading about. Certain chemicals can mimic or interfere with your body's hormones, and two of the most common ones are exactly what standard tap water isn't required to remove.

  • PFAS ("forever chemicals") are recognised endocrine disruptors, and they build up in the body over years rather than passing through.
  • Microplastics carry hormone-disrupting compounds like BPA and phthalates, and they've now been detected in human blood and tissue.
  • Perimenopause is already a hormonal balancing act. Adding chemicals that interfere with your endocrine system is the opposite of what you're trying to do.
  • Council water isn't tested to remove them. It's treated for safety and bacteria, not for PFAS or plastic.

You can't control every source of endocrine disruptors. Your drinking water is one of the few you can fully switch off.

For someone doing this much work on the inside, it's a strange one to leave running in the background.

The part most people miss

Most "filters" are made of the exact problem.

  • Plastic jug filters improve taste, but you're drinking water that's just sat inside a plastic reservoir, which can shed the very microplastics and BPA you're avoiding.
  • Bottled water is one of the most plastic-exposed drinks there is. Studies have found hundreds of thousands of plastic particles per litre in popular brands.
  • Boiling handles bacteria, but does nothing to forever chemicals or the plastics leaching from your kettle or bottle.
💡

Swapping a plastic jug for another plastic jug isn't cleaning up your water. It's changing the label on the problem.

If you've moved your kitchen to glass, your filter should follow.

The Waters Co difference

Filters the disruptors out. And doesn't add new ones back in.

The BIO 1000 runs your tap water through 15 stages to remove 99% of PFAS along with microplastics and more, then holds it in a hand-blown glass reservoir with a BPA, BPB and BPS-free build. So the water you drink all day isn't picking up disruptors on the way to your glass.

  • 99% removal of PFAS, the endocrine disruptor that accumulates over years.
  • Filters microplastics, chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals & bacteria in one pass.
  • Hand-blown glass reservoir, BPA / BPB / BPS-free build, no plastic sitting in your water.
  • Adds 60+ trace minerals back, so your water enriches rather than just strips.

"We replaced our old plastic filter with this. Knowing I'm not drinking water that's been sitting in plastic anymore is worth it on its own, and my whole family uses it now."

Honest answers

The questions women 40+ ask us.

Will this balance my hormones or help my perimenopause symptoms?

No filter can do that, and we won't pretend otherwise. What the BIO 1000 does is reduce your exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like PFAS and microplastics in your drinking water, which is one of the few sources you can fully control. Whether that helps how you feel is individual, and for the symptoms themselves your GP is the right person to see. This is about lowering an input, not treating a condition.

What actually is an "endocrine disruptor"?

It's a chemical that can mimic or interfere with your body's hormones. PFAS, BPA and phthalates are common examples, and they turn up in packaging, plastics and water. The idea behind cleaning up your inputs is simply to reduce how many of them you're exposed to day to day.

Isn't the filter itself made of plastic?

This is the part that matters most for you, and no. The BIO 1000 uses a hand-blown glass reservoir and a BPA, BPB and BPS-free build, so you're not swapping one plastic source for another the way you would with a standard jug filter.

I'm on HRT or supplements. Is filtered water fine alongside that?

It's simply clean, re-mineralised drinking water, so it sits comfortably alongside whatever your GP has you on. As always, follow your doctor's advice on your treatment; this just cleans up the water you're drinking with it.

Does it strip out the good minerals too?

No, and this is a real point of difference. Rather than stripping your water bare like some systems, the BIO 1000 re-mineralises it, adding back 60+ bio-organic trace minerals so your water enriches rather than just cleans.
